Who is the foreign spouse here? You or her? If you, then your spouse
will not go to the interview if you filed for a waiver of the I-751. It
only concerns the foreign former spouse not the USC. If her, reverse
the above sentence.
I doubt that your debt will have anything to do with whether or not the
CIS grants you removal of conditions. What US Department of Education
loaned you $40,000? I didn't know they loaned out money. I know there
are federal and state grants which are not repayable and there are
student loans. Students loans are obtained through private financing
companies not the US Government as far as I know. At least this was the
case with myself and my daughters all of us had student loans.

=======================
I am the foreign spouse, and am only speculating if I have to go to the
waiver stage of I751, since am awaiting a joint I751 decision.
The loans I mentioned are FAFSA loans given by the US Dept of education.
They are government loans, unless one consolidates or gets private
loans, see

Anyhow, once I get the I751 decision, I hope theres no interview
requirement because thats the one US spouse will not go with me.

I believe the issue here is that JohnDoe (the alien) is not divorced yet
so he cannot file the waiver. If he is called for an interview, the wife
would be required to attend. If she does not, the removal of conditions
would be denied. His hope is that he is not called for the interview.

I think it might be relevant that you have completed a course of study
(congratulations!) that demonstrates your continued residence in the
country. But if you're planning on somehow leveraging USCIS with the
threat of not paying back your student loans if it rejects your
removal of conditions, I don't think that's going to happen.

Paul,
Thanks for your comment about completing school, yes I will finish the
Masters degree in 2 months-the degree for which I got F1 to come here
before I met and married spouse.
I hope that will look positive or at least they can view me as not
someone who wants to stick here and ride the US govt system.

Hey Paul,
I did not say I will threaten not to pay the loans, but how can I do so
when am no longer here, if they refuse to remove condistions?
Is it not impled that USCIS will remove conditions AT ALL TIMES
EVENTUALLY because how can they equate CPR and LPR so much, if there are
ANY CHANCES that they will kick you out?
Its like applying for a loan and the bank gives you money in advance of
them deciding whether they will actually give you a loan.How can they
later say the loan is denied when they already gave you the money?
Or is there something am missing?

Just because LPR's and CPR's have the same rights, it does not mean it's
the same thing

doe,
You are missing a couple of things.
You can pay your debts by mailing a check to the lender from wherever
you are to wherever the lender is.
The USCIS can determine when evaluating the I-751 that it made a mistake
when approving the I-485. If the USCIS determines that the marriage
was, after all , entered into for the purpose of evading US immigration
law it can correct the error by denying the I-751 application, and it
has done so.
Regards, JEff
