Hi,

Sorry I can't be of much help as I am not in the same situation as you. However, if you take the time to comb through this forum there are plenty of people who had went through what you did and have been approved. Hope this helps!

ROC Journey:

4/24/13 - Submitted I-751 application

4/26/13 - I-751 officially filed

6/11/13 - Biometrics done

8/14/13 - Rec'd RFE

9/21/13 - Submitted RFE response

9/23/13 - RFE response rec'd at VSC

(about 2 months later)

11/21/13 - Service request via Tier 1 submitted

12/11/13 - Response to service request rec'd - vague info about processing times

12/12/13 - Service request via Tier 2 submitted

12/10/13 - APPROVED!!! (letter rec'd 12/14/13)

12/16/13 - 2nd Service request response rec'd

12/17/13 - Card production email/text rec'd (online case updated)!

12/24/13 - Notification rec'd via email regarding card mailed on 12/23/13 (online case updated as well)

12/26/13 - 10-yr card rec'd!

One thing I have learned on this journey:

There is no such thing as an "overkill" evidence package. Submit anything and everything you can. Who knows what will prevent you from getting an RFE.

Before you separate - get hold of all the joint account/ lease .... evidence possible and then after you get a divorce decree, you can file individually as soon as you get the decree or 90 days before the expiry of the Green Card. Yes, divorce cases do get approved, as long as the original marriage was genuine. I-751 has provision to file as divorcee.

Mkay thanks but do you know how im going to remove my kid's conditional green card in the future? My kid came o the U.S. 1 year after i did. And also does it matter who files the divorce? Does it have to be the US Citizen who is my husband, for me to remove conditions?

Per USA law, it does not matter who files for divorce. There is one country I know of where it has implications on their marriage status on who files, but if you're not from the Philippines, it doesn't matter. The same divorce waiver should apply to your child also.
