FILING I-751 AND BEING DIVORCED

[mr and mrs 187]

gary freaks me out sometimes. ignore him. thats pretty crappy that he made you feel worried.

i think you will have no problem.

you do need to file ASAP (your 2 yr green card was conditional. one of those conditions was remaining married.) include an explanation of why you delayed submitting the ROC (just be honest.)

the length of the marriage is not important as long as it was entered into in good faith. you have the right to apply to to remove conditions on your own. please dont stress yourself thinking that this will be a difficult process. youll be fine!

gather your evidence, ask questions of VJers, and get that package sent!

rthe usual ones,

health insurance, tax return ( only one, though..)

bank account, credit card. no mortgage for he owned the house prior my arrival.

maybe it is light... also, a car that he bought for me, with an affidavit from him that he bought it for me. and an affidavit from him to certify the good faith of marriage and and a chrono of things going wrong in time until the divorce.

Any thoughts?

all sounds good.

also submit copies of your drivers licenses or anything that shows that you lived at the same address.

look for anything that supports the fact that you were married. photos, travel itineraries, letters, etc. think outside the box!

First I'm sorry that Gary&Alla insulted you. It does happen from time to time. Try not to take it too personally.

Also, I think the evidence you have is quite light. You don't have a timeline so I don't know how long you've been married or anything like that. That DOES matter when determining how much evidence is needed.

You husbands letter certifying to the good faith marriage is good BUT it doesn't mean he didn't just marry you to help you immigrate. Whether you'll be approved only time will tell but I believe you'll probably get an RFE for more info if you just have 4 things. I don't believe the car really counts for anything but who knows.

Good luck.

The explanation for late filing is NOT required in this case. While ROC should be filed ASAP there is no penalty for not doing so... you can just get into trouble if he reports the divorce and stuff like that. The ONLY time a late filing explanation is needed is if ROC is filed after the card expires.

The length of the marriage is important-ish. There is no magic number for length of time you should stay married but it can matter if you've been married say 1 year but you have zero evidence, just as it looks suspicious if you've been married 10 days then got divorced and have 10 pieces of evidence.
