Hi guys,

Well, after jumping through many, many hoops with immigration, finding work etc. etc. my wife has decided that she wants a divorce.

I filed for removal of conditions in November 2011 and, approximately, 6 weeks a ago I received a letter requesting more evidence and that I had until October 2012 to comply. My lovely wife said that she would help fill out the form IF I signed over the house to her so that I can stay here.

It is my understanding that, provided the marriage was entered into in good faith, then I should be O.K. to stay here.

Any ideas as to what I do now as far as "paperwork"?

Official divorce proceedings have not been started, yet.

Thanks

Paul

I hope you would have spelt divorce properly for future searches.

You can remove conditions if you can prove that marriage was entered into in good faith. You do not necessarily need her.

Gowon will nto sign anything at this point, he will fiel for divorce and get out then deal with the immigration stuff (but any action should include this as a prerequisite).

Your work is to gather documentations to use to prove that marriage was in good faith and she wanted out.

I don't believe in counseling especially when oen actor has stated a desire to get out.

Reply to the RFE, you might luck out and get approved without an interview.

If divorce is filed and you are assigned an interview date then at the interview you can request they change your filing to divorced and request the divorce waiver. You'll be RFE'd for the divorce decree but can still remove conditions without her.

Don't let her use your immigration status to bully you but do try to get the threat/promise in writing as it would come in handy in the divorce.

I thought about doing that but it didn't seem the right thing to do.

Usually I'd agree with you but...

When you filed divorce wasn't imminent AND even though it's being discussed it sounds like you're still there and aren't 100% sure then it will come soon.

You can't request the divorce waiver until someone has actually filed for divorce.

Here is the 2009 memo regarding ROC and divorce: http://www.uscis.gov/USCIS/Laws/Memoranda/Static_Files_Memoranda/2009/i-751_Filed_%20Prior_Termination_3apr09.pdf

The bottom of page 1 explains that there is no waiver of the joint petition grounds simply because you have petitioned for divorce, therefore you don't actually have to change anything until you ARE divorced. She signed the joint ROC so now you wait until you're divorced OR unless you get interviewed at which point of course she wouldn't attend and you'd ask for it to be changed to a waiver filing.

You are not legally doing anything wrong by leaving it as the status quo for now and reply to the RFE by yourself (though I would keep it secret).
