USA from UK on spouse condition visa. Even i sold
my house & left my job in UK to come here in USA
to spend my life with her.Then after some time she
left me because she was involved with an other man
(Don't wanna discuss this more) and she even
changes her residence address and changed her
number so i can't file divorce because i dont know

Extreme Hardship request . Now i have got letter
from USCIS RFE to provide evidences that extreme
hardship will result if i m removed from US. E.G
1. Medical & social needs in US
2. Employment opportunities in my home country
3. Family ties in US & in your home country
4. Major disruption in your family
5. Psychological impact of deportation

1. you do not have to know where your spouse is to file for divorce, there are other means, and you would be granted divorce regardless if you can find her or not.

 

unless you have have a reason for hardship I would not go there, I would simply file for divorce, place it in the paper in attempts to locate her, after some time if you still can't fine here but you tried you can show that to the court and they will grant the divorce, get the advise of a divorce lawyer in your area.

 

After you have final divorce decree change it to a divorce waiver instead of a hardship waiver.

1. You don't need to know where she is to file for divorce.

2. You can't just.. pick a reason form the list and make it apply to you. You should know which situation applies to you and if its real, you should be able to prove it.

One of my friend hasn't filed for divorce but his period of 2 years GC being ended on MAY 2019 ... and his wife not residing with him.

i wanna ask that for which option he should go for ... 1 ... Divorce with bona fide marriage or 2. Extreme Hardship? 

wanna know that which option is best suitable where he will be given ten years GREEN CARD.... As i have heard that getting 10 years gc is very difficult to be given rather than getting gc in Divorce waiver request.....

As you were told in your previous thread, if you have evidence of extreme hardship that's what you should respond to your RFE with. IMO it was dumb to apply for that one when a simple divorce waiver is much more straightforward. Do you have proof your marriage was bonafide?

yes i have proofs of bona fide marriage which i have filed in I-751.

That's why USCIS hasn't yet sent e RFE on bonafide marriage they have only sent me RFE on my  extreme Hardship ..so i just wanna clarify that is it better to go waiver with divorce rather than going with hardship?
