Good afternoon, everyone! I completed an AOS back in 2019 when I was married to an American citizen (we had been together since 2014) and my initial conditional residence had been approved, and everything was peachy perfect. We applied for my conditions to be removed around 90 days before the 2-year mark as a joint petition The pandemic happened, economy crashed, tensions ensued, mindsets change, and in short, she cheated on me, became pregnant with another man's child and I ended up filing for divorce due to adultery. We completed the divorce, had the biological father acknowledge his paternity and sent USCIS a request to convert my joint petition to a divorce waiver, accompanied with the divorce decree. USCIS acknowledged my request and approved my I-751 with no interview or RFEs. I applied for Naturalization in September of 2024 on the general 5 year basis instead of the 3-year marriage to the USC (obviously), and my interview is next month. With all of these things considered, would the fiasco with my ex-wife possibly cause some problems in the N-400 interview? Is there anything I should prepare in advance? I know I have to bring divorce decrees of all annulled marriages to the interview, but considering I applied for the 5-year provision instead of the 3-year USC filing, what preparations should I take in consideration? PS I have never paid for a lawyer for any of my immigration cases. Everything was done by myself and my ex-wife alone. I simply cannot afford it 😕

I woke up on the morning of January 4 to find that my case has been approved. USCIS not only acknowledged the receipt of my divorce decree and letter ("We received your correspondence"), but approved the case without any interview or RFE. To say I am shocked is an understatement. For the first time in years, I have finally been able to get a good night's rest. Thank you to everyone who helped me in this journey

Hello everyone. About one year ago, my former wife and I filed a joint I-751 (Petition to Remove Conditions on Permanent Residence), and due to personal unforeseen circumstances, I filed for divorce two months ago. The judge approved and signed the final decree of divorce yesterday so we are now officially divorced as per the state of Texas. I am the petitioner, by the way. I still have not heard a response back from USCIS regarding the joint petition (Still shows "Case Was Updated To Show Fingerprints Were Taken") and I was wanting to see how I can submit an amended I-751 using the divorce waiver option. I unfortunately cannot afford a lawyer due to the major financial loss from the divorce, and after much research, I keep coming to the same answer of "Let USCIS know and attach your final decree of divorce" but little to no detail on how to do so. Is there a template I can follow as guidance? Any personal experience? I don't know what information to include in the letter, whether I should submit a new I-751 with the divorce waiver checked, or where to send it to. I'm extremely stressed out about all of this and I really want to fix my paperwork before USCIS denies or approves the joint petition as it will make future immigration adjustments more difficult than they already are. The service center processing my form is the Texas Service Center. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
