I751 approval Rate

[TonyMichael 3]

Is that true that more than 50% of I751 (removal of condition from conditional green card obtained through marriage with a US citizen) are denied?

When you look at this page it says 67% of i751 applications are denied. Is this even true?

Is the denial rate really that high?? 

 

I am about to apply for i751 with my lawyer, and I am extremely frightened after reading this. 

And my husband and I dont have a joint bank account because of the big difference in our spending habits. Now I am scared that they will automatically send me an RFE or deny my case because they believe married couples are expected to combine their finances.

No, not true at all....someone posted the official denial rates a while back and they were much lower than that.

 

This article you posted doesn't link to any sources. Therefore their claims are not justified. Check out this older thread with real USCIS stats:

Someone posted the figures a while back and it was way way lower than that. They mentioned it was very low chance of being denied!

Thank you everyone. It certainly made me feel better.

Does anyone know if USCIS has issued an official record like that for divorce waiver cases? 

 

I believe that most approved cases are from joint petitions, but at the same time there must be many couples who annulled their marriage, or who divorced for various reasons. I am actually applying jointly as I am running out of time and I cannot divorce on time, but I am going to switch to divorce waiver once the divorce is finalized. 

I would like to know if the approval rate is not too bad for divorce/annulment waiver, too.

1) Divorce is not a reason for denial.

2) see 1

3) You can't provide what doesn't exist. 

 

Also, if denied and then appearing in court, the onus switches from the initial filing where the petitioner is required proof to provide proof....to USCIS having to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt of the intention to circumvent or commit fraud regarding immigration laws.

If you read the article's heading, It says the denial rate is for the I751 that are 'called for interview' is 67 percent. Not overall. These are cases that already look iffy or lacked evidence.

Only 5% denial rate. That's not much. Including some cases have criminal record or does not want to continue their cases, dead or bla bla bla

All they really care about is that you can prove that you entered the marriage in good faith.

My marriage lasted less than a year and my ROC was approved without interview.
