I could really use some help....

Post by Chadshark » Sun Dec 07, 2008 9:26 pm

OK, here is the situation.
My fiance and her mother are from Ukraine. Both her and her mom moved to Texas when the mom married a US citizen, and they applied for citizenship through the marriage. However, the marriage ended in divorce after about 4 years and neither my fiance received their citizenship. Now that they are not married, the INS gave them an extension until January 1st so that the INS people could "review" their case.

Since they applied for citizenship through the marriage, now that they are no longer married what is going to happen? Is there a chance that she could be deported? And, if there is a chance she could be deported, would getting married help keep her here?

I have been looking all over the internet trying to find some information, but their case seems rather unique. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

You do not provide much information. Was she married at least three years before she applied for citizenship on the basis of marriage to a USC? At the time when she applied was she married legally? If all the above is the case it does not make sense for the USCIS to "investigate" further, unless there are other circumstances that would prevent her from legally obraining citizenship, such as criminal convictions of most kinds.
If there are criminal convictions that would cause deprortation or immigration violations there is not much you would be able to do for her. Marriage would not keep her in the US under those circumstances unless she could obtain a waiver that is very difficult to get. Consult a good immigration lawyer that is up to date on current deportation issues
