I-751 with divorce waiver filing soon

[Kris_in_ny 1]

Hi All,

 

I just found this website during my research of filing a divorce waiver.

I live in New York and I married to an US citizen in 2016 and my marriage has ended this year in January. I have filed the divorce in May, so it has not yet finalized, however the 90 days period will begin in August to file the I-751 - removing conditions of my current GC.

I ended up the marriage, because my spouse was emotionally abusive and I didn't want to be in a toxic relationship anymore. I started therapy last year and I was asking my therapist to write me a letter to the USCIS. However she said she'd help me, she has not done this before, so I'd like you to ask what that letter suppose to say? 

I'm collecting the evidences for my marriage, I have utility bills, mobile phone bills, bank statements, airplane tickets, personal statement from our old roommate, letter from the therapist and some screenshots of text messages. I also need to write my personal statement that I've read somewhere it has to be at least 3 pages? Also I can ask my family lawyer to write me a letter?

On the form itself I should mark section where it says:

My conditional residence is based on my marriage or my parent's marriage to a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, and I am filing this joint petition together with (Select only one box):

1.d My marriage was entered in good faith, but the marriage was terminated through divorce or annulment." - I'm not sure this is the right answer if my marriage has not been finalized.

 

I'm doing all this by my own due to lack of finances, so any help would be much appreciated.

When do you anticipate the divorce will be finalised? I ask this, as if you can wait until you have the final decree in hand, it is one less bit of hassle for you. As it is a divorce waiver you are permitted to file at any time - it does not have to be within the 90 days - but if you wait until after the 90 day period to do this, you will get initially get scary denial letters appearing in the mail, so best avoided for an easier life if you can.

 

Divorce waiver filings are still adjudicated on the evidence provided - divorce is not a reason for denial. Just be honest.

You do not have to write any sort of personal statement - not sure where you read that... It probably won't hurt, but it isn't required.

The 90 days period starts on August 4th. Since the divorce was signed by my spouse in May, it could take a couple of months to be finalized. I don't know. I'm in New York, I'm hoping it will be done soon. I know if I don't attach the final divorce degree, it's an automatically means that they will ask more evidences, which is the degree itself. 

So, you're saying that I don't have to write personal statement. Maybe it must be only required if I filed an abuse.

Hello, I see in your timeline that you filed for i751 twice. Could you please help me. I have some questions.

 I filed joint petition and we got separated. I filed for divorce and I dont have divorce decree in my hand yet. Today I got a notification that my soon to be ex husband withdrew my petition. I called uscis and tier 2 officer spoke with me. He says someone wrote a letter to uscis(husband) telling to withdraw the form. Now my online account tells my case has been withdrawn and to wait until i receive my withdrawn acknowledgement notice. Is there someone like me? what will happen to my case now. I will receive my final decree in two weeks. I was thinking to sent the decree and to change into waiver once i receive the final decree. What can I do now. Please help.
