I received my green card provisory in 2010 and after a few months later a suffered domestic violence at the hands of my ex husband. I was still married when I suffered the violence. I had to submit I-751 but my divorce was pending, it took 1 year and 3 months to finalize my divorce due the trial.

I submitted the I-751 without the divorce decree with the help of my friend and lawyer, she is a member of the Visa Journey "Sandranj" .I sent the I-751 as a battered spouse and bonafide marriage, I chose both options, but my friend Sandra warned me that the USCIS could accept my I-751 waiver as a battered spouse and they wouldn't ask the divorce decree or they could accept just based in bonafide marriage and the USCIS would ask me the divorce decree, because good faith marriage that ended in divorce is mandatory the divorce decree, but that I had a huge chance that USCIS would accept as a battered spouse!!! Today after ten long months of waiting the decision Vermont Service Center approved my permanent green card without divorce decree and without Interview.Glory To God.
