I-751 question about waiver

[Anamaria2009 1]

Hi, I need to apply for the I-751 in the next few days. I find it hard to organize all the paperwork because I have so many sheets and copies all over the place. My case is not a very happy one. I have a divorce decree on ground of abuse (the US citizen was the abuse, ofcourse). In my application I-751 should I use both grounds for self-petition? Good faith and abuse spouse ? if so, do I have to write two affidavits, one for each ground?

Does anyone know/heard about similar cases that were deinied? and why were denied?

(I am trying to figure out what to look out for).

Hoping for the best but prepare for the worst....

Thank you

I believe you have to choose either or. It is a decision only you can make, really. But whichever you decide, we will be here for you.

Actually, according to the info on the USCIS, you have to prove "both".

One, that your a victim of abuse, and Two, that the marriage was entered in good faith.

Thank you for your answers

I got even more confused...

I thought that since I have a GC I don't need to file I-360. Do I have to file both? I 751 and I-360?

On the I-751 I need to check the box where I self petition as: divorced (marriage terminated ...) or spouse of USC abused by him. Should I check both?

What if she proves one and fails to prove the other?

Then it will probably be denied.

Your link is about I-360. The OP doesn't need to file I-360 because she is already a permanent resident. She needs to file I-751.

If you check "abuse" waiver, you will have to prove that you have been abused, and if they think you were not abused, your petition will be denied. I would check "divorce" waiver, divorce waivers usually are very easily approved, all what USCIS needs from you for approving divorce waiver is only your divorce decree.

And, of course, you still have to show all your documents about bona fide marriage to prove that your marriage was real one
