Thank you for replying @beloved_dingo since me and her are on good terms, I can get statement from her as well as her sister and her mother. Unfortunately we never made any joint account because, our timeline was weird in a way because around the time when I was waiting for my GC while I was not able to work, she was just finishing up her schooling and has a side job so she was not making much and we were using Zelle. And while I was in other state and when we were separated, we just kept using Zelle. I didn't have any car throughout our relationship. During the time when I was traveling to NY after GC, she was changing jobs after her graduation so she got Healthcare insurance through her employer slabd so did I so we didn't really add each other and while separated when I started residency, she was not in my state so didn't add either. No joint loans or credit card either. We didn't travel as both of us had alot of things gong on, her with her graduation and new job, me with residency application and clinical experience and when we were supposed to do it, we already had issues. During the separation, the relationship was definitely not the best as family were involved, so I don't think I have gft cards from that, we used to talk alot through the phone, wish I had done that though Yes, married filing separately, we were discussing about it while we were doing it though but at the time, the divorce has already happened by January. Thanks again

Thanks for the reply, unfortunately the state we were at did not have that option, and that's why I had to go to NY which is more IMG friendly and has more opportunities for clinical assistant experience after I got my GC purely because I got both my EAD/GC together and I couldn't travel while process was going as I didn't have the means to travel to and from for the interview. And for residency, it is unfortunately difficult to predict where you are going to get interview from when you apply and which program will take you of the ones you interviewed at. So initially, I broadly applied but applied to almost all near by programs at the state we were at and around it but did not get any interviews from that state. And during the matching process, we were already having marital issues and made it more difficult as she did not really have feeling for me anymore and just snowballed to the eventual divorce I mentioned in my post. Thanks

Thanks for the reply, now working on getting one. Is there specific way to find lawyers who has more knowledge on these topics. I've never hired any lawyer so not really well versed.

Thanks for the reply, I am now shopping around for a lawyer and since me and my ex are on good terms, will be able to get that from here hopefully.

Thanks for replying, for the new relationship we met after divorce in April this year (divorce occurred January)

Hello, everyone, I have had my conditional GC through marriage following K1 visa which was approved in about January 2022. Unfortunately, the initial process took almost 2 years for me to get a visa and during that time while in a long-distance relationship, we had difficult times as we could not travel to see each other due to her schooling and financial reasons and difficulties did not completely stop when I arrived to the US as we were very happy with each other but we soon realized after marriage that there was a lot of difficulty with communications. Due to my need for clinical experience (I applied for physician residency at the time), I had to go to a different state after my EAD/GC arrived to briefly work there and gain experience. While there, we had a lot of issues with our marriage and she eventually did not want to be married anymore. We separated while I was in that state, and even though she visited me there, it was difficult to meet a lot due to my financial state. the separation occurred about 5 months after my GC approval in May 2022. During that time, one of the difficult parts that eventually was part of our separation was that I could not get residency (Medical training) around the state she lived, and even though, she was initially open to relocating, she changed her mind after finishing school and starting work there where her family live. In June 2022, I had to relocate to a different state for my training and while we were separated, it was difficult to travel but through our families, we tried to work it out but eventually decided it was not going to work and divorced uncontested mutually on January 2023 with divorce decree received at that time. A mistake of mine was that I had not applied soon after which I should have, but due to busy medical training and my head space, I postponed. My conditional GC will be expiring on 12/22/2023. I am planning to apply for the waiver and so far, I have the following proof of marriage in good faith documents - A lease from 8/2021 - 6/2022 - Jointly filed Tax of 2021 - A lot of pictures from the day we married with families and our wedding ceremony - Some pictures with us and family and photos prior to coming to the US - Utility and rent payment of our leased apartment at the time - Hotel reservation she made on a brief visit to the state I was in earlier Unfortunately, there was not a lot of financial comingling at the time as she had just finished her schooling and I was just trying to survive. There was also no significant photos taken during that time due to the traveling. I am currently putting together the applications and wanted to know the following 1. Do you think this is enough to file my Waiver applications? 2. How important is the Affidavit of support from my ex-wife and other people? 3. I don't have the finances to hire an attorney but do you think my case is complicated enough that I need an attorney during the filing process? 4. I am in another relationship now; do you think that is a red flag if we decide to marry during my application as we know the I-751 may tend to take a long time? Thanks all!
