I received my temporary residency through my marriage (USC) in 2002.
I received my conditional GC in Dec 2003.
I sent my I-751 application in Dec 2005 (within the 90 day period).
Since then I have been waiting on my removal of condition.
I have called the USCIS and went down to the office on several ocassions.
On two ocassions I was granted a I-551, each with three months' extension.
The last time I visited the USCIS I was told an I-551 stamp was not necessary and received no status from officer or supervisor and I was told I would receive a letter within thirty days.
It has been six months and I have received no letter. I have no current I-551 stamp and therefore no proof of my residency status.
During this period, my marriage began deteriorating and after several futile attempts at reconciliation and on/off separations, my marriage ended in divorce in July 2007.
I will be eligible for US Citizenship in September 2008.
I have written to my congressperson regarding my case and an inquiry with the FBI is underway with regards to my status.
I am currently in a relationship with a childhood friend and we would like to get married.
However, she is on a B1/B2 Visa and is in visitor status. She would like to apply for an extension.
I would like advice on an acceptable reason my sweetheart should state on the I-539 form for extension of stay. Should the reason be "marriage to a US resident?".
Please advice.
With thanks
