My dad who is an american citizen petitioned for me while being a US resident. The petition was approved. 10 years later I came to the US and contacted the embassy (in Dec 2005) which gave me all the forms to be filled costing me $1200. I filled the forms on March 2006 and submitted the $1200. in fees to the american embassy. I was called to do Biometrics which I did in April and this week was called in to an interview. I was told my approved petition was revoked in Dec 21,2005 because I got married three years ago therefore I am now inelligible to recieve the green card. The US Immigration revoked my approved petition in Dec 21,2005 and recieved and cashed checks for my greencard in March 2006. I pointed this out to the supervisor at the USCIS a Ms. J. Sheldon who said that I won't be getting my money back , there is no way. This is robbery and fraud. Where or Who do we go to in a time like this when the Crime is being committed by a department of State?

That is a very sad story, but rules are rules. I would first check the laws and regulations before marrying. Some people do not marry officially before everything is legally settled. Your option is to begin a major court battle, and maybe you will win.

you will have to read the fine print of the agreement... if it is mentioned that the money is non returnable then forget it... if it is not written, then you can sue them... for fraud and emotional distress and what not and then if you win the case you might as welll become the us citizen...
