Good evening VJ members. So my husband and I started dating in 2013 ( we have proof of that i.e money transfers and facebook messages). We had a small court marriage in 2016 and had a big wedding (both traditional and white wedding) in 2017. My question is, should I inform the CO about this during my interview or I shouldn,t say anything to them? And can this be reason for them to refuse me visa?

My card was mailed to me
May/2019

We ordered your new card.
April/2019

We received your response to our Request for Evidence for your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence. Our Vermont Service Center office is working on your case again.
March/2019

We mailed a request for additional evidence for your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence.
January/2018

We received your fingerprint fee for your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence. Your case is now properly filed.

I wanted to show you all my case history since is such a long wait so you can compare or know what to expect. I was so nervous because i didnt have all supporting evidence they were asking for a joined I751:

Green card copy, check, marriage certificate, my husbands divorce certificate from his prior marriage, Our son birth certificate copy, a trip itinerary, his driver license copy.

Request of evidence: I sent pictures like 70 or more all written in the back with dates, places and names of people in the pictures as requested and 2 payments i have made to pay rent where we 've lived all this time and a copy of my driver's license that i recently got on march with our address.

As you can see we didnt have any joint accounts and i was so worry about that and still approved to remove conditions.

Processing time for my case was 16 months.

Good luck!

Hello,

In another thread, someone suggested applying for citizenship rather than renewing green card which expires in one year. I need to give this some thought. If I was to apply for citizenship, does 8-9 months before green card expires allow enough time?

If my application is denied, I'll be cutting it close to then try to renew green card.

Any advice is well appreciated while I weigh my options.

If these things matter, current citizenship is Canadian, status is divorced.

Thank you!

Misty
