*Sorry, this is gonna be a bit long* =)

My friend is planning to apply for N-400 but she is worried if her marital history would draw any attention by USCIS.

She met her 1st husband (USC) like six/seven years ago, a year later they got married and her husband filed a GC for her. However their marriage stayed for only like a little more than two years. She had serious problems with her ex-mother-in-law, and she has a more successful career than her ex-husband which caused problems in their marriage, they divorced a couple of months after her conditional GC removed.

She married for the 2nd time in the same year as her 1st marriage ended. Her current husband (PR for like 3-4 years, sponsored by his USC mom) has been a friend of her since they were little (in fact their parents are long time friends), they came to U.S. to study together by F-1 visa & shared an apartment for the first few years.

Now they have a lovely daughter who was born in U.S. (she didn’t have any children with her ex-husband).

*The funny part is, her current mother-in-law was also the joint-sponsor when her ex-husband filed GC for her – what a coincidence*

Personally I don’t see there is anything wrong with this, however she’s now getting worried after putting all the pictures together – she said people might think she married her ex-husband solely for GC…???????? :confused:

I wonder if she is thinking too much??? Or this is something that she really needs to be worried?

Probably.

Nevertheless, if i was the officer, i'd see a red flag and ask more questions.

You're right, but bottom line is: I don't think she will have any problems, and a well prepared answer will be enough to pass.
Besides, by the modern standards they stayed together a long time, not to many American marriages resist 2 years (24 months=730 days...unless on of the years is a leap year and then are...731 DAYS :D :D )

I believe you did the right math for both scenarios :D wow, how did you figure that out ??

Seriously, I think she shouldn't panick at all, but being prepaired to answer that critical question would be the smart move for those guys.
I have no experience on how long the standard american marriage lasts.
I only know I'm married for 10 months now and it hopefully lasts forever
 
I don't see any problem...hey if things don't work out, don't work out (good that we live in this era!)...anyway she did not married another alien so then she had to apply for a GC for his new spouse right? he was already a LPR. I don't see any flags...nor purple ones :)
 
Thanks for all of your replies! Greatly appreciated.

By the way, she has one more stupid question that she insists on asking :o :
What would be the worst scenario if she failed the citizenship interview? (I don't see why it would happen unless she doesn't wanna study American history but since she asked...)
Would her GC be revoked?
Or... perhaps the only thing she would lose would only be the N-400 application fee?

I don;t see that happen either, but who knows.

I'd say yes, it's the money and the time she invested.

If she fails because of the English or History or Civic test she can come back another time better prepared and have another test.

If she fails the interview and the case is denied she will loose, of course, her application money.

If she fails and the case is denied because CIS proves that she committed fraud when she got her GC...then she may loose the GC

Very unlikely that any of the above will ever happen ;)
