It's pretty easy for a widow to remove conditions as long as she has evidence of a bonafide marriage.

Just send the death certificate with everything. A pinay on here was just approved recently without a interview. Blue somebody.

She'll just submit form I-751, noting that her husband is now deceased and accompany that with evidence of her bonafide marriage and a copy of the death certificate. NB: A widow/er does not have to wait until the 90 days prior to the expiry of the green card to self-petition to remove conditions. As soon as the death certificate is available, s/he can file.

Simply file the I-751 singly with waiver of joint requirement, attach a copy of death cert. This should be approved without much of a problem. Attach the usual evidence showing that marriage was entered into in good faith.

Note: In cases of divorce or death of spouse sponsor, the I-751 can be filed as soon as you have divorce or death cert, you do not need to wait to within 90 days of card expiration.

Ask your friend to submit the following along with I-751 form:

1. Copy of Green Card

2. Evidence that you did not get married to evade the immigration laws of the United States. Examples of such evidence includes, but is not limited to:

Leases showing that you and your spouse lived in the same place

Documents that prove that you and your spouse owned property together

Birth certificates of your children (if any)

Copy of your spouse's death certificate.

Waiver is applicable in following situation or waiver request for the joint petitioning requirements if:

Your deportation or removal would result in extreme hardship

You entered into your marriage in good faith, and not to evade immigration laws, but the marriage ended by annulment or divorce, and you were not at fault in failing to file a timely petition.

You entered into your marriage in good faith, and not to evade immigration laws, but during the marriage you were battered by, or subjected to extreme cruelty committed by your U.S. citizen of lawful permanent resident spouse, and you were not at fault in failing to file a joint petition.
