This provision shouldn't apply to you now because you are a citizen. You can try sending them your Certificate of Naturalization, informing them that the petition is now upgraded to the Immediate Relative category, and that the petition is no longer subject to INA 204(a)(2)(A) because that only applies to second preference petitions.

Go online and search for "after your petition is approved" on travel.state.gov it shows what steps follow. Its a long and lengthy made worse by the wait times.. wait, send, wait..repeat

For USC, the option is only the 1st one. Each person has to be petition separately. So prepare the $$$
 
Hi everyone, I need help.

I'm seeking advice and want to hear stories of people with similar experience(s).

I got married to my ex in 2010 and later discovered that she was not who she said she was. Before that, I was on a student visa (M-1) which expired a year and a half prior to the marriage. To cut long story short, I found out that she was living on a stolen identity and the marriage itself was abusive (of which I have police reports to prove). She was later convicted of identity theft, at which time I had already left her, but we were not divorced. During this period, we had filed forms I130, I485 and I765, which were returned to us because of some mistakes (I don't know if she resent them to USCIS without my knowledge and subsequent decision(s) that were made). However, she called Immigration on me, telling them that I had married her to become a citizen. We divorced in 2011 (though I was not there for fear of any connection she might have made to get me arrested by ICE, but I have divorce papers now). I married my current wife in 06, 2016 and we have filed forms I130, I485 and I765 two weeks ago. My wife and I are expecting in June. I'm just concerned about how my previous marriage might affect what may happen next, based on my ex wife's call to Immigration. Please any advice will be greatly appreciated.

I don´t think this will represent any problems unless you have any criminal charges pending on you. You can also seek legal advise but if you don't have any pending cases against you, then you should be fine. Just make sure you have all proper documentation at hand

I have no pending criminal charges. Though my wife and I are doing it ourselves, nonetheless, we met with an attorney to make sure of a seamless process. The attorney didn't indicate any foreseeable problem. However, I wanted to seek more advice as per what others may have experienced, and learn more about the process.

Thanks @Pierre82

The over staying your visa will be a problem..
 
It's not relevant at all if the wife is a US citizen.

It will depend, if the first marriage was entered into to avoid being in the country illegally, it might be deemed fraudulent during adjustment of status.. get as immigration lawyer to advice on the specifics so you don't present yourself on a platter to ICE.

@Guriix : I see your point, but I have a strong case in that I was physically abused and my ex was subsequently criminally convicted of identity theft. How can you beat that?

I hear you, just do some research before you attend the interview to know what the USCIS officer might look for in a case like yours.
