In two days, my 2 year green card will expire. My husband and I have filed for divorce and it is still in process, probably for the next 5-6 weeks. My immigration lawyer says I have to wait to get the Divorce Decree and then file I-751. Some other paralegals told me to send I-751 and send the Divorce Decree and other documents later. Does anyone know what and how is the best way to do it? I really need some good advice. Please help. :help:

Well, technically, an alien is not permitted to submit the waiver without the decree in hand. This is not the first time I have heard individuals recommending to submit the waiver without the decree, hoping that by the time the alien were to receive an RFE for the decree, the divorce may be final. It is tricky, to know which way to go. I;d recommend that you get that divorce final, and pronto, whatever you choose.
