Need help PLEASE!

I have a question regarding how to file for the removal of conditions if you are separated. My husband and i have not been able to get along ever since he returned from Iraq last summer. He has just received orders to get stationed on a short tour to Ft Meade, Maryland. Since it is a short tour, me and my kids will be staying in Texas and I am not sure if this will all end up in divorce.

Anyhow, on the I-751 Form it looks to me as if the waiver options all apply to a divorce. What should a person like myself do that is separated? I will be filing all by myself.

I have two kids which are both US citizens ... my youngest is my husband's daughter. My worst fear is getting denied and then having to leave here without my children.

You should post in the forum called "Effects of Major Family Changes on Immigration Benefits" because they deal a lot with divorce in there. Your thread might automatically be moved in there by the moderator, who knows. But that forum really helped me. You will be able to get more help with your specific situation. This forum is basically for people removing conditions but most of the people here are married and have a pretty straight forward case.

I think the fourth waiver option would apply for you:

4. The termination of your status and removal would result in extreme hardship.

Can you wait till your husband returns from his tour to file, so you can do it together? Does he even know you are thinking of divorce?

I can't wait until my husband returns from his tour because he is basically kicking me and my children out. He told me the day that I posted this, that he is due to leave in may and the clock is ticking for me. So, I am moving to Texas because that is the only place I have support from family and friends. My husband has no plans on helping me in any way. He is very controlling and dominating and I'm tired of it and he is tired of not having someone who follows his thinking and ways.

Do you know what type of evidence I would have to send along with the I-751?

I read somewhere on here that if he filed the affidavit of support, I would also need to put his new address? What if i don't know it? He is refusing to give me any info.

If your husband is not willing to help you at all, in order to file to remove conditions with the waiver you will need to get a divorce.

Depending on the state you file your divorce at, the time to get a divorce decree varies.

The evidence you submit with the waiver filing is the same as you would submit if you were married, you only add the divorce decree + letter explaining your relationship and divorce (optional).

Unfortunately, you can not work in the period between your GC expiring and filing for GC conditions removal (which can only be done once you have your divorce decree).

I am sorry for your situation!

Separation from the kids may not be hardship enough - there is plenty of stories on the news where people get kicked out of the country leaving their US citizen kids behind.
