My son and I received our Conditional Green card 10/15/07. My husband and I physically separated before the approval date of our CPR. My husband just submitted the divorce paper last December 26th. What are the other documents I need to prove for a bona fide marriage - applying for a waiver to lift the condition of our PR? My husband told me that I am on my own and will not help me with this application. Does notarized letters from friends who know us both will help? The only evidence that i could show that both are names are on it is our income tax return last year - and we are going to file our income tax soon this year - married but file separately...does this one help?

I appreciate anyone who gone through like my case...or anybody who could help me and/or suggest what would be my options.

Thanks.

Sorry to hear this.
Definitely submit your joint tax returns, Did you have a lease or mortgage together? Submit that...
Did you have joint (health, life, vehicle) insurance during your marriage? Was he a beneficiary of your insurance policies and you of his during your marriage? (submit this)
did he ever attempt or apply to adopt your child? (submit any applications if this was ever attempted)
In your situation it makes sense to provide every and any paperwork you have.
joint bank statements, utility bills coming to the same address, photo's, vacation itineraries, wedding pictures and notarized letters from friends.


What was the basis for your divorce? If it was abuse, adultery, felony on his part (basically his fault) submit evidence of that

That's what I would do if I was in your situation.

and, good luck to you and your son.

Divorced so soon after getting the Conditional Green-card, can be looked at by USCIS quite critically, they may not believe the marriage was entered into in good faith, and was a bona fide one.

I think that's why she is asking us how she can prove her marriage was legitimate.... wink.gif

Thank you. Appreciate your suggestions.

We don't have that much of documents that shows our name together except the income tax return last year. I do have some friends that could testify about our marriage why it is fallin apart...mails that went to his address that I used to live there...emails before and after our separation...a current picture of us together after separation...and bank statements that shows all my income goes to his account and except the current pay checks that goes to my own account since we separated physically...are these kind of documents help?

It seems like you are very thin on evidence sad.gif
does he own his house? Was your name on the mortgage, is there anyone (landlord) that can sign a statement saying you lived there too?
letters and bills in your name going to the place you lived at together is useful.

I can't really say what will help (only the USCIS can decide), I think you should just send as much in as possible to prove you were married legitimately.

thank you again...

Well...I will just do what I can do and leave the rest to God...

I am really going through big time...but I do not want to come to the point of losing my insanity for I have a son to take care of.

Thank you for all your suggestion and help. I guess I will trust the Lord for all this matter then...

Have a blessed one!
