I did my AOS based on my marriage to a US Citizen and got my two year GC in early 2021. I have been eligible to apply for N400 for a few weeks now while I wait for my 10 year GC to arrive (already have the 4 year extension to after removal of conditions). My wife and I are legally separated for almost a year. She ran off after I threatened to call the cops after continuous and regular domestic violence. She then filed for divorce on charges that were proved to be false during a hearing. She is telling our mutual friends that since I'm not a US citizen that I intend to run off with our child to another country (also untrue). I want to apply for my N400 to prove that I am not running away anywhere. Will USCIS accept my case instead of making me wait for the 5 year period?

Lots of very good replies here. I wanted to also give some additional input and had follow up questions: I don't have any ulterior motives. Finding even one woman to marry was hard enough for an introvert like me. I am not sure when I will be ready to marry or meet another woman again as this marriage left me devastated. All I want right now is for my child to be happy in this young age. Since I am the one making more money, I hope I don't get deported due to some legal twist as that would wreck my child's life. My wife is already in the process of getting another man, if all the signs of her behaviors and makeup purchases on credit cards are to be believed. I moved here on an H1B, which was dual intent. I-751 currently takes anywhere from 18 to 31 months to get approved. I am sure my divorce will be finalized before then. I could file for a divorce waiver and have my I-751 altered, but I'm not sure if that's needed since I-751 processing is taking so long these days. If my wife does agree to a speedier divorce (i.e. through mediation), I can then file for the waiver asap. Could thus the I-751 processing take longer if I were to ask for a divorce waiver much before I am certain of my divorce finalization? USCIS certainly likes to put a lot of things on the bottom of the pile due to their workload. Tha

Sorry if you felt I misled you, that was never my intention. I do not have an attorney to guide me through this process and was (actually still am) confused on the immigration process. I had mistakenly thought that the 4 year extension is just a formality while the 10 year GC gets printed.

Am I able to revoke my current I-751 and instead apply for ROC with VAWA?

One of the comments corrected me on this. What I thought was a 10year GC is in fact just a notification of action for a 4yr extension while USCIS works on my 10yr GC.

My 2 year GC? I got that in last week of Apr 2021. The 4yr extension letter has notice date of 03/29/23. I also got a biometrics appointment letter same day.

Sorry, I have been having a tough time concentrating these days. Allow me to put the recent timeline here: 1st week January 2023: I become eligible to file for I-751, based on a continuing marriage to a USC 3rd Week March 2023: I file I-751 4th week March 2023: Biometrics appointment letter received 2nd week of April 2023: Biometrics submitted 3rd week of April 2023: Notice of Action for 4yr extension received, status online also changed to "actively reviewing" My wife got fired late May, and the domestic violence became increased from that point on until she left (and filed for divorce) mid June 2023. Also, the divorce has not been finalized yet. We are still in its early stages as of today.

I applied for removal of conditions when living together and not separated (we are still legally married until divorce is final). However a few months after I got a temporary removal of conditions (they gave me 4 years extension while doing due diligence), she filed for divorce. I'll be hiring attorney's for sure but this is the first time I've read that I can lose my GC if I file for N-400.

How do I apply for citizenship then? I am trying to become a citizen so that I don't lose a chance at getting some form of custody due to me having only my British citizenship. I have been told by friends that the court might consider me a flight risk if I don't have US citizenship and thus award all of custody to the mother. I have my job and our family here as my only ties to the US (other than of course our child).

I got the NOA stating that my green card was extended for another 48 months as they process my 10 year card. I'm using my expired 2 year green card in conjunction with that 48 month NOA for international travel.

No, it was just a biometrics appointment.

I recently got my 10 year green card and have been married for 4 years, out of which I've had my permanent resident status for 2.5 years. My wife filed for divorce recently and I am evaluating my choices in terms of N-400. I could wait till I have 5 years on my permanent resident status, but my wife had been physically violent with me (have proof). She filed for divorce so soon as I had threatened to call the police on her several times and instead she took off and filed for divorce. I got a call from her saying that she won't ask for any spousal support if I don't file charges. Now I'm not so sure what to do.

Our removal of conditions journey so far: 03/25 Filed at AZ Lockbox via Fedex overnight. 03/27 Received case on USCIS account as well as text received from USCIS with IOE prefix receipt number 04/04 Received NOA in mail. 48 month extension approved 04/08 Received NOA for biometrics appointment in mail 04/19 Went for biometrics appointment I read there are no interviews being done, so does that mean I should expect I-751 to be approved in less than a year?

The conditional GC itself is only 2 years old. Does that matter or does one need to be a conditional GC holder for 3 years before filing for concurrent N-400?

We have been married for almost 5 years now, but filed for the GC pretty late into the marriage. The 3 year mark passed two years ago and now we have this 48 month extension letter in hand. Do you think it should be okay to file N-400 or should I wait a while even then?
