What is a waiver?

[Goroshek 0]

My marriage ended, I have a 2 year greencard. I read that if there was a divorce you can remove the conditions and apply for a 10 year old green card using a waiver. I don't understand what a waiver is? Do I just have to fill in the form I-751 and mention that I am filing myself after the divorce or there's any other additional form I have to fill and attach?

I am sorry if it sounds silly to the "professionals"

Thank you for the answers in advance.

You just tick the box that says you're divorced and want to apply for a waiver and that's it.

There's no additional form but it's worth writing a cover letter stating the reason you are applying for a Waiver and if you are including a divorce decree and proof of bonafide marriage, or if you will have to send the divorce decree later, etc. Here's a note on VJ on the Waiver - go to section 7.11: http://www.visajourn...conditions.html

If you don't have the decree yet, refer to the following Memorandum, which states the timing to provide the decree: http://www.uscis.gov...tion_3apr09.pdf
