I-751 Waiver

[canonfire 0]

After consulting with an attorney, I was told that when filing under a waiver, you need to present evidence regarding the reasons why you are filing under that waiver. If I were to file a waiver, it would be under the 'divorce' - Of course, I would need a final divorce decree, but what other evidence woud I submit to show the breakdown of the marriage? The attorney said a statement from me surrounding the breakdown of the marriage would be helpful, but It sounds as if it all comes down to 'he said/she said'....Additionally, my sister lives with us and can testify to some of these happenings in our marriage. What other things should I be looking for?

Hello,

Sorry to hear that you're going this difficult process but things will be ok. I filled a waiver as a divorcee in August and just got a letter saying that my case is being transferred to the local District Office, and a segment of the letter talked about what type of evidence they're looking for- which I think you can make use of.

When you appear for the interview, in addition to this notice, you must bring evidence to prove that the marriage through which you gained your conditional residence status was entered into in good faith. This evidence may include, but is not limited to, joint bank accounts, joint leases, joint martgage, insurance policies, cancelled checks, joint bills, children's birth ceritificates, income tax returns, wills, affidavits from acqaintances, photos, etc. If you are applying under one of the exemption provisions, bring evidence to support your claim.

Hope that helps. Please ask if you have any more questions and keep us updated.

You do not need to show the breakdown of the marriage....you need to show that you entered the marriage in good faith, and while it lasted it was bona-fide.

Thank you so much for sharing your letter with me - it is extremely helpful, you have no idea. Would you mind if I messaged you personally to ask the details of your situation?

Send in your divorce decree and evidence showing that you were in a real marriage up until that point. Whatever you still have from the time you were married, submit it - bank statements, joint tax returns, leases, letters from friends/relatives, etc.
