Hello everyone!!!

I'm new to this thread and have read couple of I-751 divorce waiver petitions and their success stories. Really felt glad and relaxed after looking at that many success stories.

My marriage was a good faith marriage and I got my conditional green card in July 2011. I got divorced on the basis of conflict of personalities between me and my wife and my wife filed the divorce and has being finalized in February 2012. After reading couple of the threads of when to file the I-751 divorce waiver, I took the paid consultation from few of the very good reputed attorneys, just to make sure whether I have to file the I-751 petition waiver right now or do I have to wait until the 90 days before the expiration of my green card, i.e., April 2013. So as per them, it's no where written that the I-751 divorce waiver has to be filed right after the divorce is finalized, instead it has to be filed as normal, 90 days before the expiration of the green card. So wanted to know when will it be good to file it.

Also as i'm planning for a international visit in next July or August 2012, so will it be ok! if I file it next year and still be able to travel and come back without any problem. I spoke to one of the attorney's and as per her, it should not be a problem, and also she said she will charge $150 just to be their, if any problem or issue comes up when returning to US at the port of entry. But still she was saying that it should not be a problem as you have got the legal document with you to travel. So wanted to know that if I decided to I-751 waiver next, which is 90 days before the expiration of the my conditional green card, and still if I travel outside US in the next 3, 4 months. So will it be safe.

These things are really bothering and confusing me, can anyone please help me in answering to these questions please. Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

when you file the waiver, you get an extension letter of 1 year. With that letter and an expired green card, you can travel to Mars, Jupiter, and Venus, and then come back into the U.S. without any problems. You do not need to pay a lawyer for that.

Hello everyone!!!

I'm new to this thread and have read couple of I-751 divorce waiver petitions and their success stories. Really felt glad and relaxed after looking at that many success stories.

My marriage was a good faith marriage and I got my conditional green card in July 2011. I got divorced on the basis of conflict of personalities between me and my wife and my wife filed the divorce and has being finalized in February 2012. After reading couple of the threads of when to file the I-751 divorce waiver, I took the paid consultation from few of the very good reputed attorneys, just to make sure whether I have to file the I-751 petition waiver right now or do I have to wait until the 90 days before the expiration of my green card, i.e., April 2013. So as per them, it's no where written that the I-751 divorce waiver has to be filed right after the divorce is finalized, instead it has to be filed as normal, 90 days before the expiration of the green card. So wanted to know when will it be good to file it.

Also as i'm planning for a international visit in next July or August 2012, so will it be ok! if I file it next year and still be able to travel and come back without any problem. I spoke to one of the attorney's and as per her, it should not be a problem, and also she said she will charge $150 just to be their, if any problem or issue comes up when returning to US at the port of entry. But still she was saying that it should not be a problem as you have got the legal document with you to travel. So wanted to know that if I decided to I-751 waiver next, which is 90 days before the expiration of the my conditional green card, and still if I travel outside US in the next 3, 4 months. So will it be safe.

These things are really bothering and confusing me, can anyone please help me in answering to these questions please. Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Can anyone please reply to my post for the one which I posted above. Senior members like, Okalian, Goldfee111, Yurika & Jim and iamwhatiam80...can U guyz please suggest any advises for my post, i'm really confused what to do next as I already have time until July 2013 for my conditional green card, but divorced has been finalised in february 2012. So do I need to file it right away or wait until 90 days before the expiration of the green card. I already consulted with 2 of the experienced attorneys and they say that I don't have to file right now even though the divorce has being finalized and also won't be having any problem in traveling Overseas. But still I need help from the members over here on VJ with their experiences.

Also, if I have to file right now, can U guyz please help me with what are the evidences I should send it, as I don't have much since the marriage lasted for just 4 months. It was a good faith marriage and my wife have filed the divorce for, will this help me.

Please help me guyz...

It means you have Conditional GC until July 2013, If you would be married at the time of filing ROC, normally you would file it between sometime in April 2013 & July 2013. (ROC Filing window opens 90 days prior to you Conditional GC expiration date). Recently, I have noticed that there is a big confusion on VJ about ROC filing date. it does not mean you have to file on that day as soon as window opens, you have 90 days to file.

I will give you a real example of my filing. I am still happily married. My Conditional GC expired on August, 26 2011, I would file the first day which the window opened on May, 28 2011, (USCIS uses this calculator http://www.uscis.gov...Calculator.html ) but I didn't. Because we were going for a long vacation; I did file ROC 2 weeks before on August, 12 2011.

But your case is different from mine, you got divorced already. When you get divorced during the conditional period, as soon as you get divorce decree you can apply ROC with a waiver anytime (Between the day you get divorce decree & your GC expiration date, in your case February 2012- July 2013), in other words you do not have to wait until April 2013. If you ask me, earlier would be better. You want to get it over with ASAP. You can not apply ROC without a divorce decree even if you do, you will get a RFE. Don't forget it takes 9 months without an interview to remove a condition at VSC & also get ready for most likely an interview. So your case will take 1 year+ because VSC is very slow moving & your case will be transfered to local office after all that wait.

Bottom line is : Since your divorce was finalized already in February 2012. Gather all evidences (show your marriage was bona fide one) & get your divorce decree & apply ROC ASAP. Let's say you do this in the next month May, probably you will go for Bio in June & after that you will wait at least 7-8 months to hear someting so if you want to gain some time, earlier is better. You can still travel & come back to US without any problems while your case is pending, plus you have a valid GC until July 2013 anyway. However, you can file also after coming back from vacation in August or September whatever the month is, but by doing that you will loose time unnecessarily. It is up to you, the ball is in your court. If you don't understand some points, please ask me, I am not going anywhere . By the way, next time don't give money to the lawyers for simple stuff like this.
