Hi guys, I’m just confused to say the least. My wife and I were suppose to sign my immigration documents and send to USCIS. But at this point our marriage is cloudy, although we respect and love each other for some reason we can’t tolerate each other anymore. My conditional is due nov. 16 2021, shall I proceed to request for a divorce waiver from USCIS, how will this legally impact my case… or should we proceed with the filing and stay separated? What’s a feasible option that won’t adversely affect my case? 
Ps: she’ll be happier with a divorce it seem…

Hi Bigmeg,

 

I just filed with divorce waiver. But the difference in my situation and yours is that my divorce has already been finalized. I would definitely consult with an immigration lawyer on your situation. Definitely not a good idea to file jointly but remain separated.

 

Filing with divorce waiver is similar, you still have to prove it was a bona fide marriage. 

 

From reading other's posts in the forum, might be possible to file with divorce waiver now, even though your divorce is not finalized yet. Months down the road they will send an RFE, and then you can submit your divorced papers when finalized. This is what others have done it seems.

 

My advise would be to seek an immigration lawyer's advise. :) 

 

Good luck!
