How would the USCIS view someone who was married for 14 months and have the conditional 5 months and now divorced? Marriage failed after trying all possible resolutions, marriage entered in good faith. There are documents to prove that.

Hard to tell... depends on documents...

It takes some time to get a divorce. Usually, more than 5 months. So, if petition to divorce was filed prior to getting a conditional GC, I predict a problem...

You never know what they will think but as long as you entered the marriage in good faith initially, you should be fine. Good luck!!

joint lease for two years

over 1000 pictures most of them include family activities

over 40 short videos

several letters address to both of us

joint club memberships

401ks for both of us

love letters

avidavit from friends, family, and spouse

tickets overseas to visit family

published book dedicated to wife

joint bills

proof that we attended marriage therapy/counseling extensively

joint comcast bills

and I am sure there are more stuff.

All of this have our names on it or one of us is the beneficiary.

Petition for divorce was done by the USC after green car received.

This list is more than enough. I believe that you must wait until the divorce is final before filing the I-751 "good faith" waiver. The quicker you guys can reach a disolusion agreement the better. A contested divorce is very stressful and will take a long time and cost lots of money in attorney and court fees.

In addition to you list, get a couple of notarized letters from friends who can attest to the validity of your marriage. Have them include their complete name, address & phone on each letter. No drama, just the facts.

Good luck,

NM

It is a very good list, especially with your ex-spouse's affidavit.

I do not think the length of marriage would matter, as you already have a CGC. I have seen someone approved for removal of conditions (a Brit) with a short marriage, may be even less than 1 year.

I would only be concerned about what came first - AOS approval or filing for divorce. I am not well familiar with AOS, but isn't there a rule that AOS can only be granted if marriage was viable at the time?...

Thank you all for your answers. Does it matter for how long we were married?

Oh, and I forgot, I have my diary for the past several months, I wrote in it every single day. Never missed one. It talks about both of us, things we did, things we liked, things we didn't like about each other, activities we did, and more stuff. Should I include it? I know it is very very personal to me, but do you think it would help as a secondary evidence that we lived together and did stuff as a team?

Thank you.

With what you have not thinking the Diary is needed

Why is it that the only one who can stop the crying is the one who started it in the first place?

Thank you. Yes AOS was approved and conditional green car received. After conditional green car received and had it for 4 months divorce process started. We are in a state that uncontested divorce can be granted in 3 months. The three months could be waived by the judge if the couple attended marriage class.

I would not.

Too personal I think.

But you can always take it to the interview if there is one.

I mean it is not really a proof - being a writer, surely you could have made all that up, right?

(I do not imply that you did)

It may sway the interviewer, though :thumbs:

In that case you should be OK.

As much as anyone can hope to be OK within USCIS system.
