I married a USC Aug of 2005. The marriage ended June 2007, I have been living with a friend since then. Our divorce is in the works. When i got my two year card i was told to send in my I-751 90 days prior to my 2 year expiry date (which would be Jan 20,2008). My divorce may not be finalized until the 30th of January. Will this be a problem?? Or can I apply for the removal of conditions anytime during the 90 day timeframe. I want to be able to apply on my own and not have to file jointly.

Also another question while being seperated i have met a wonderful man that has asked me to marry him, I have said yes. I am wondering if i have to have my 10 year card before we can get married or can we be married while my petition is being looked at.

Thanks

In order to file with waiver to joint filing requirement you need to include a copy of divorce decree.

Thanks i do appreciate you writing.

Moving this to the Removing of Conditions forum.

Tell me how everything when i am in almost the same situation.

okay will do. My divorce fiannly went thru last wednesday. Now just waiting on my decree so i can file.

First of all, no one (not even immigration!) can tell you when to or when not to marry. And you don't have to have your 10-year card either. However, I'd say put off the actual knot-tieing until your I-751 is approved. You don't want to draw any more attention to yourself. As it stands right now, they'd be suspicious and they'd need you to provide sufficient evidence that you didn't enter into your previous marriage just to obtain immigration benefits. And it might heighten that suspicion a little further if they see on your application that you're already married again (esp. to another USC). In that case, they'd definitely want to take a much closer look at you to make sure you're not 'shopping' around for USC citizen spouses with the aim of circumventing immigration laws. It's definitely not a bad idea to seek professional advice from an attorney before taking the next couple of steps. Good luck.

Thank you for your answers. What is the timeframe on getting a I-751 approved? We are both very anxious to be married as i have been seperated for almost a year from ex husband. divorce took a longtime to complete as it was just finshed last week.I will have the drecree in my hot hands tomorrow and am getting help with my paperwork from an Immigration office in our city. I was wondering if once the I-751 is filed would it still look suspicious to be married then. The way i look at this is i entered into my marriage to the USC in good faith, but after a year and a half of being emotionally neglected I left. I came to the states from Canada, i left a excellent job, i sold my home, and my children were not allowed by the father to move with me. It took alot for me to move here, and i lost alot doing so. I feel i have met that man now, that can make my world right, and that loves me so much he would go to the ends of the earth for me, I love him also the same way and don't want to live without him.I want to be his wife, but of course don't want to erk anyone at immigration either.
