Hello,
I would like to ask if some lawyers had similar case and have 100% solution.
My Green Card would be based on H1B and my wife’s based on my Green Card.
We got married in 2011 in Consulate Department of Embassy in Spain; one year later we took Church wedding in Poland.
I-485 has been filled and USCIS send request for evidence.
USCIS got only our Polish marriage certificate with location Madrid/Spain, it was not mentioned that is happened in Consulate of Embassy, and because of that they requested marriage certificate from Spain (which I cannot obtain).
Now, we can argue with USCIS, we can say that Embassy is part of the Country etc, but they have this rule that marriage have to be under low of country where it took place, in this case if Polish Embassy is in Spain it should be Spanish law..., there was a federal case in NYC in 2014.
We couldn’t get married in Spain because to do it we should be residents at least 2 years,..we were not.
Now, like I said we can provide as many explanations as it is possible but if that will be not enough for USCIS they will accept my Green Card and deport my wife, which is not acceptable, that is why I ask about serious answers.
Additional question, is Church wedding considered as a valid for immigration purpose ?
Best Regards
