I am not filling yet but I need to know what is a waiver of the 751...I am getting a divorce

[Catherine Lozano 0]

Hello everybody:

It has been a long time since I post any questions or comments...I found my self in the position to look for help again...and I hope I can find it. Unfortunately, after 1 year and 3 months of being married,my soon to be ex-husband and me decided to get a divorce ...I already cried and suffered and now as this new year began, and after a lot of talking with friends and family; I decided to apply for the "readjustment of status" by myself.

So now I am getting all my papers together while I wait for my divorce to be finalized...and that should be happening within the nest 5 weeks or so. Therefore, I want to know about the "waiver" I need to file. I don't have clear if it is a separate document or the same 751 just with a different choice (the one that says "divorce" ).

I am kind of confused and I am looking to clear that up.

Thanks for any help.

I think all you have to do is check box d of part 2 of the I-751 and mail the package with a copy of your divorce decree. I googled it and that's all it came up with. Also, call the USCIS if that is all you need to do.

The instructions for the I-751 also say:

If you are filing to waive the joint filing requirement because your marriage has been terminated, also submit a copy of the divorce decree or other document terminating or annulling the marriage with your petition.

Yes, you just check the appropriate box on the I-751 itself.

Note that, if filing after divorce, there's no strict time table. You can file as soon as the day your divorce is finalized, regardless of how long you've had your conditional green card. You do have to wait until you are legally divorced, though.

yah they're right!just read the application and u will find it in the buttom of the page. By the way anybody know how to get a tax transcript?especially that i am just a dependent of my ex-hubby. I went to IRS today and they told me i cant get any transcript of the year '06 the time we was married. They told me to get an authorization or a lawyer to do that. IS there any way i could get it without asking ex-hubby's authorization? I know fore sure my ex is not going to help me at all since he doesnt want me to stay here. So please any ideas....Give me any info about the IRS thingi and on how to get a copy. I really need help from u guys....thanks...god bless....

Same I-751 form + fee. Include a copy of your decree and other documents during your marriage to support your claim. Best of luck.

Thank you all fr your answers and wishes. I had the feeling that choosing that choice was all I needed but I just want to be sure . Hopefully, all is done soon and I don't have to worry any more. Also, I am getting together prove from the time we got married until we separated. I have letters from his family members staying that they all believed that "I got married because I was in love"...it is hard doing this by myself...I never thought it would happen but I guess that is life.

I will let you guys know once I have to file...please keep your fingers cross so my divorce is finalized within the next few weeks...

Thanks again

Sounds like you have a good case to stay!

Sucks to have it done this way.... Why would someone spend the time and money to bring someone over to the US, then cheat on them?

Best of luck to you Catherine! I know reality bites but you know life must go on. You will make it as long as you believe you can.. I just hope things will work out fine with you..

I agree with you. I did not understand it at the beginning, but what can I say. He decided to go that way and now I have to keep doing what I want to do. I am a college student and I do not want to give it up . It will be like I am leaving everything that I worked so hard to build just because of him...and that is not fair :protest:

That is why I decided to keep with this process. To prove to my self that I can do it...and I can finish what I started. May be once I get it (if I do) I might go back to my country, but at least I will have the chance to come back to visit or to do something in the future. I have very important people who were there for me when I needed someone to cry with

It is hard but I guess that is how life is..."everything happens for a reason" and under that same quote if I get approved it will be good and if I do not, I will just go back home...that will be it!!!

Thanks for your support everybody...

I will keep you guys updated it.
