7.11) ..My marriage fell apart and we are divorced. Can I still get the conditional status lifted?

A..The I-751 is normally filed by a married couple, but if you have divorced, or your US Citizen spouse has died, you may file the petition on your own. The I-751 form itself contains provisions for a waiver of the requirement to file jointly with the US Citizen spouse. You may file the I-751 immediately upon divorce or the death of your spouse, and you will be required to provide evidence that you married in good faith, rather than to just get a green card by marrying a US Citizen. You will be required to submit a copy of the divorce decree or death certificate. The I-751 also makes provisions for a waiver for filing jointly with your spouse, if you are still married, but "battered or subject to extreme mental cruelty". If you are in this unfortunate situation, you need the help of an experienced immigration attorney.

Hope it helps,

My thoughts are with you,

Carol

Catholic charities will help you free of charge to resolve immigration issues. You don't have to be Catholic and you don't have to be poor.

Once again, Canindian should really check with an immigration attorney, first, to make sure the death of her US citizen spouse has no ill effect on the award of her conditional green card

I totally agree with that... Just wanted to post what I found out when I was gathering info for my own case...

And *totally* related, a decision by the 9th Circuit court could help the OP *a lot*.

Made the front page of the Oregon newspaper this morning too.

Anyone interested in VWP entry/adjustment or the two-years-married rule should take the time to read the decision; it's quite interesting, and not the hardest legal reading ever.
