Renew green card after divorce

[Caah4vieira 0]

Hello,

I have a temporary green card from my marriage that will expire in July. 

I got divorce in March and would like to know exactly how should I request the 10 year green card and if it is possible. 

I don’t have much money so I would like to do it without a lawyer.

Does anyone knows what’s forms I have to fill, where to send and how much it cost. I’m planning to send our lease together, wedding pictures, joint bank account and others documents that prove our marriage was real.

 

thank you

As you are already divorced you should file now with a divorce waiver.

File an I-751 with the divorce box ticked.

Enclose a cheque for $680, a copy of the front and back of your green card, a copy of your final divorce decree (not the original) and any evidence you have of it being a bonafide marriage. 

I-751s whether divorce waiver or joint filed are adjudicated on the evidence provided.

 

Once filed and accepted you will receive a receipt which acts as an extension letter for your physical card when it expires as proof of your status for a period of one year.

 

As as you are filing with a divorce waiver, you can file the I-751 at any time, and given the lengthy current processing time (well in excess of a year) , filing it sooner rather than later would be in your best interests.
