Hi all

We have already filed for lifting of conditions. We've been married for 2 years and at this point. She sprang on me recently that she wants a divorce. What now? She is willing to wait for me to get the 10 year card before officially separating. I am staying in the house with her in a separate room. I'm having trouble sleeping and I have pain in my body.

I had my biometrics done. How likely is it that I might get called for an interview?

Can't think straight. What are my options now. What happens if I find somewhere else to live?

Have a read of the many other threads in this forum about the same subject, as well as the 'pinned' topic at the top of this forum.

Bottom line - it is possible to remove conditions on your own, so long as the marriage was entered into in good faith. So no more stressing. :) You may well not have an interview, and if you do, it can be handled.

There is really no quick answer to your question.

Since you have filed jointly and already did the bio appointment, it's very likely that they send you the card and you're done with it very soon.

However, as others on this board will chime in with uproar, I might as well cover it myself.

From a purely legal perspective, as you separate from your wife you would have to withdraw your petition and file separately again. Since it usually takes many months to get a divorce finalized (depending on State law and procedure), that could make your life very miserable, however.

You would have to file immediately again, upon which you get an RFE for the missing divorce decree. If you can't get a divorce within the time frame from reviewing your file, plus RFE, plus 90 days, they would deny your I-751 and initiate removal proceedings. You then would be seeing an immigration judge, upon which you would pledge for a withhold of judgement until your ROC application is decided upon. Most likely that would be granted, but it still makes your life a living hell.

I would advice option 1, but if I did, others will cry foul, so I can't advice you to choose that one.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
