Hello VJ,

Just wondering if anyone else has experience or advice regarding the possibility of refiling my I751.

I originally filed my I751 with a waiver request due to divorce, while my divorce was pending.

I received an RFE for divorce decree but I didn't have it by the time the RFE was due.

I received a letter of denial for not providing divorce decree and am currently waiting for a Notice to Appear before an Immigration Judge.

Well, today my divorce became finalized! I am wondering if I can refile the I751 along with the divorce decree since I haven't received the NOA yet.

I know of one other member who refiled after getting denied but before receiving the NOA. However, said member had originally filed a joint application, then withdrew the application and was denied. Before receiving the NOA, said member refiled I751 with divorce in hand and was approved.

If anyone has any information, please let me know. I have researched this situation but have not found anyone else with similar situation. I have consulted with an immigration lawyer and was told it's not possible, that I have to go before the IJ and present my case.

Thank you for any advice.

I believe you can re-file provided you are not in removal proceedings.

I would definitely take the chance. The worst they can do is reject/deny it. I would go ahead and refile and see what happens. Goodluck
