I-751 Waiver Filers Timeline

[giseprincipela 0]

Hello Waiver Filers!

I come with good news! I was approved on 4/16/2015 after having filed for a 2nd time. Since my divorce wasn't finalized when they reviewed my case and I didn't have it by the time I had to respond to RFE, my petition was denied and my status terminated. I researched, got various opinions and followed the advice of fellow VJ members…I re-filed as soon as the divorce decree was in my hands! Thankfully after 6 months, I was finally approved. I received an e-mail and text letting me know and today I received a letter in the mail with the same news: APPROVED. I never hired a lawyer, I have gone through my entire immigration journey on my own (I-130, NVC, I-601, I-751)…just God and the wonderful forums I was blessed to come across…VJ and Immigrate2US members have given me more than they know…I'm forever grateful to everyone that has helped me along the way!

Congrats!

Congrats gise. Any advice to us?

Congrats! We're filing with a waiver as well - my ex-husband is the green card holder and I'm the U.S. citizen. We are actually in the process of reconciling and i'm hoping this all goes smoothly

It sounds as though you have a pretty good list. Are you close to being divorced already or have you just filed? This post originally said you would be divorced in June 2015, now it says May so im a little confused on whether you are just filing or if you are at the end of the process.

If you are just filing, be prepared for a bit of a wait. Mine took 6 months. You dont want to file now thinking it will be done before the end but actually get to the end of the ROC process without the divorce decree then be denied based on not having it.

When does your GC expire?

Thank you for your response. Court hearing this may 2015. Uncontested divorce filed in January 2015. Card expires October 2015. Want to file as soon as possible. Anything else I should add to the list? If I do get an RFE I really don't have/know what else to send. Kindly advise.

If you do get an RFE, just send the same documents you sent the first time plus any additional documents you may find.

Good Luck

Oh well I guess so then. Do you think I may still need a lawyer when filing?

Has anyone who filled a waiver been approved lately? Personally, I haven't heard anything after my biometric, 5 months ago. It's 6 months since I got NOA.

Has anyone here been approved or heard anything from the USCIS? My case has been there for almost 8 months, but nothing after my biometric.

hey, i understand how much stress because we are all at the same boat, for me i received RFE after two mounths from the biometric and after four mounths i went for the interview, i wish that you receive your green card soon. Did you try to call the USCIS? i beleive that something on the USCIS website to make your request and they answer you

wish you all good luck
