If you divorce, you need to file for removal of conditions as soon as your divorce is final instead of after 2 years. You can do this with a divorce waiver so long as you have evidence that you entered into the marriage in good faith, even if it didn't work out.

how do you prove good faith though..? I am not planning on getting divorced but it's something that has me wondering. Marriages sometimes don't work out and in my case I would have no clue how to prove it.

Presumably you'd have had things married couples have - insurance together, joint bank accounts, phone records and emails, etc. Stuff that would say you were a legitimate married couple and not someone who entered into a relationship for a green card.

Good faith is just evidence that you were married and living together, as a real couple..when it comes to proving that, all the AOS spouses should be fine...ESPECIALLY after receiving a green card.
