Hi everyone,
Back in 2007 I married my former spouse, a USC who at that time I was in love with. Throughout our relationship I discovered that my wife was a major stoner. She would smoke at work, in the car, at home - anywhere. We both were young and naive, so I didn't see her habit as a threat to our marriage. Eventually, we filed the paperwork by ourselves and soon were scheduled for the interview. The morning right before the interview she got so high that it was almost embarrassing. As a result, some of her answers did not match mine, and we were sent home. Some time later I discovered that she withdrew money from our joint checking account just to buy herself some weed, which resulted in negative balance and extra charges. We started arguing more often, and eventually she moved out. We were separated for about two years until we were called for the second interview. At that time I was already seeing my current wife. I contacted my former spouse and asked her if she could go with me. During the interview we had an attorney present, and when she was confronted with discrepancies from our past interview, her answers were so absurd that the attorney asked to end the interview. The same day my former spouse filed a request with USCIS to withdraw her petition. The immigration closed my cased and sent me a NTA in which they stated that I overstayed my visa and that I was not a US citizen; therefore, I was a subject to removal. Six months after divorce with my former spouse, I married my current wife and we moved to a different state where we filed again. We waited for 3 years before we were called for the interview. The interview went well. We had plenty of proof, but the IO said that since my medical exam had expired, he'd have to mail me a RFE within the next week. After that we did not hear from them for two more months until one day my wife told me that we had received a notice to appear for the second interview. At the interview we were separated. I was interviewed first. The IO showed me the lease that my former wife and I submitted 7 years ago to the Immigration. He then told me that they had sent their agents to the rental place where that lease had been allegedly signed and obtained another copy of it. And on that copy my former wife's signature was missing, even though her actual name was on both copies of the lease. I was asked to explain that discrepancy. I responded by saying that I didn't know how it could have happened because I knew for a fact that we both went to the rental office to put my spouse's name on it after we got married. The IO then proceeded to question me about my current marriage. He asked about 10 questions, and once I was done, he interviewed my wife. The attorney that was with us at that time said that we did great and that our answers matched completely. The only issue was that lease from 7 years ago. When my wife asked the IO if we'd have to come back again, he said no and told her that we should receive the answer in January.
My question is, can USCIS rely on my previous marriage in making decision on my current case and what are the odds that the decision is not going to be favorable? Thank a lot.
