BIA
I got married in 2017 and she filled my papers. we went to 2 interviews during the marriage and none of the cases was approved. The marriage became abusive and she started spending time with his mother. Her credit and background was so bad that we couldn’t sign anything on our names together. Anytime we try it’s always rejected unless I go by myself. It was so hard to get anything with her name that made my case complicated. During Covid, we decided to divorce and she withdrew her case from USCIS. I remarried and filled another case. We went to interview with our baby who was a month old. We received NOID that I should I prove that the previous marriage wasn’t entered solely for immigration benefits. I and my attorney replied them with the little evidence we can lay hand on at the moment. I even tried to reach my ex wife to write a statement but her number did not connect, tried everything possible to get hold of her but no luck. Today I received a mail that both I-130 & I-485 was denied because I failed to prove that the first marriage was real. They said that I can appeal this case. Right now, I have a great job, family and graduating soon with MBA. I have worked so hard to be where I am now. I’m confused, I don’t know what to do! How fair are the BIA judges?

sorry about that, we have the similar sutuations they already denied my case 2 times i field for the third times now. they sent me an rfe in November I responded now I’m waiting for their decision again but you need an experience lawyer to guide you through this. my ex wife wrote them 2 letters but they still denied it . good luck

one more thing the big denied my appeal because my lawyer ddnt see their brief letter until denied it, because he didn’t respond their brief. it was sucks for him missing that letter I waited for 3 years while my case was pending with bia and he missed to respond their letter.make sure to get a good lawyer that knows what he is doing . after BIA denied my appeal I went to a defferent lawyer that told me to refield again that he will guide through this horrible sutuation.

@Endy O consult with another lawyer. Also where you lived with your ex, the landlord, neighbours, any common friends , maybe they can write letters to confirm. send text messages, love letters, videos etc.

I recommend the lawyer Marcel Miclea. the video consultation is 100$ or something like that

@Endy O im happy you found happiness in the end but in the situation in your first marriage after the divorce that and abuse you should have filed VAWA I 360 after the divorce instead of remarrying and filing immigration. thats why you were flagged. now each time you file they will have you under a microscope. your lawyer should have advised you of this
