You can send the I-751 yourself. There is a check box on the form that allows you to request a waiver of the joint filing requirement because your marriage ended in divorce. You'll need evidence to prove you entered the marriage in good faith, and not simply to get an immigration benefit. The waiver can't be approved until your divorce is final. USCIS will require a copy of the divorce decree. If you don't have the divorce decree by the time your conditional green card is about to expire then go ahead and send the I-751 without the divorce decree. USCIS will eventually send you an RFE for the divorce decree. Hopefully, you'll finalize your divorce and have the decree in hand in time to respond to the RFE.

The fees the lawyer is asking for are outrageous. It's unlikely your case would require more than a few hours of his time. Your success doesn't hinge on having a well qualified attorney. Your success will hinge on how compelling your "good faith marriage" evidence is.

Send the form eight away as said before and there is a check mark to ask for a waiver of the joint filing requirement due to divorce. The USCIS will receive it and they will take forever and you should have the divorce decree by then. Do it now as soon as possible. Jims post above gave a couple of links to read on the filing.

I don't understand the difference between the divorce decree you currently have in hand and the "final divorce decree" you're referring to, that requires her signature. If your current divorce decree is official, send your package right away. However, If it's not an official divorce decree, then send it to USCIS within a week or two prior to the expiration of your current GC. This will help you gain more time. befre they send you RFE asking for final divorce decree, should it take a long time to be issued.

Hi Guys!

My wife and I are living together again last March 27, 2011. She came back with me that day and we start living together again! From that day we are ok and so far no problem. Now we sent the application form the I-751 to remove my conditions last April 1, 2011 and the USCIS California received it last April 3, 2011 and they incash my check last April 6, 2011... Now we are still waiting for da NOA1. My Divorce and Imigration Atty will cancel the Divorce Decree Filed and as well as the Child Support. Any suggestion or any tips about Immigration if they still gonna interview us or do investigations about our relationship? We sent plenty pictures, joint honda civic 2009 loan documents, our health Insurance coverage from my work and also the joint car insurance. And also the birth certificate and marriage contract. And also some mails that our names are addressed together. Please give us more any advices what to do and to prepare. Aloha!
