What are the chances of I-751 divorce waiver approval?

[michellemichelle 0]

My husband is physically, emotionally, and psychologically abusing me. I will not go into that in depth, but long story short I never call the police on him and I have no evidence of the abuses. I'm exhausted and do not wish to remain in this marriage full of constant abuses, degradations, and threats. I will be filing I-751 with a divorce waiver. I have evidence like joint bank accounts, joint car ownership, joint lease, joint utility bills, joint tax returns. What are the chance my petition will be approved? Do divorce waiver get approved often?

Yes, divorce waivers do get approved. You will need to actually BE divorced, though... so get that paperwork underway, since USCIS will need to see the divorce certificate.

Make sure you have as much evidence as possible of the fact that you went into this marriage with every intention of being married long term. That's what they want to know... that it was a real (bonafide) marriage. Probably they're looking for more evidence of that with a divorce waiver than with a couple who's still married, but that's really all it is.

So get that divorce paperwork filed, and keep collecting all the evidence you can that your marriage was legitimate.

It is a real marriage, but he became very aggressive during the year. He keeps threatening me he will get me deported if I ever divorce him. He punches me in my face multiple times and said it was my fault. He manipulated me. I can't live with this anymore. 

Do you think all the things I've listed is enough evidence to prove the marriage was bona fide? I know an abused waiver is much more difficult to get approved which is why I will do the divorce waiver instead.
