Hi all, I'm a USC who got married to a foreign citizen 3 years ago. We have filed the I-751 joint petition to remove the conditions. We did the K-1 application, 485 AoS, and this I-751 all by ourselves.
Even though this a genuine marriage based on love, we have had many challenges living together as a couple and many differences are irreconciliable. I am very supportive of my spouse's continued legal permanent status in the country and do not want to jeopardize that in any way. Nevertheless I feel each week going onwards like this is a pure torture for both of us - it took a little while, I more than she, but we definitely realize we could be good friends but not a happily married couple.
Knowing the current I-751 processing time is anywhere between 1 to 3 years is worrisome. How can we proceed with both saving our sanity and ensuring my spouse receive the permanent status that I fully agree that she should have? We have a well documented life together in the past 3 years so I'm confident USCIS should not see fraudulent filing in our case. But what should I/we do? Both of us are professionals in respectable industries with multiple post-graduate degrees - but life just doesn't happen the way the lengthy immigration process would want us to live. Can I file for divorce before the eventual adjudication? What do I or does she need to pay attention to?
Thanks all!
