conditionnal lifted for widower

[sergio 0]

hello,

I need your input

I am 9 months away to have my conditionnal residency lifted however my wife passed away a month ago. I've heard that there is a waiver in case you are divorced, widower or other. My wife and I did not have any kids during our time together. but I have my life here now and do not wish to depart to any where else.

Can anyone tell me what are my chances to have my waiver granted.

thanks for your time

Sincerely Sergio

It seems that you are eligible to file the I-751 according to this info from the FAQ section of the USCIS website:

Who is Eligible?

You may apply to remove your conditions on permanent residence if:

You are still married to the same U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident after two years (your children may be included in your application if they got their conditional resident status at the same time that you did or within 90 days).

You are a child and cannot be included in the application of your parents for a valid reason.

You are a widow or widower of a marriage that was entered into in good faith.

You entered into a marriage in good faith, but the marriage was ended through divorce or annulment.

You entered into a marriage in good faith, but either you or your child were battered or subjected to extreme hardship by your U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse.

The termination of your conditional resident status would cause extreme hardship to you.

Please see USCIS Form I-751 (Petition to Remove the Conditions on Residence) for more specific eligibility requirements.

I am sorry for your loss...

You can file the I-751 to remove the conditions at this time. Be sure to include the death certificate and evidence of your shared life together when she was alive (tax returns, bank statements, if you have a life insurance policy, proof that the settlement was paid to you, her will, paperwork that appointed you as her personal representative, bank statements, etc.). You chances of getting approved without an interview if you include the above information is very good...
