Good morning,  I have a question and I hope someone can help me. I and my husband been married for almost 7 years now,  we filed I-751 3 years ago and until now im still in the interview schedule and I just got the 48 months extension letter from the immigration.  I and my husband is not in good terms anymore, so we decided to get a divorce, but he kept telling me that he will call the immigration and his lawyer to pull out and cancel my I-751 application and my kids applications. Is that possible? He kept saying to send me back to my country where I belong. But I've been working since I arrived here in the US and paying a tax . Is that possible to cancel our I-751 ? Is there any way to re apply again a visa. For me and for my kids? 
 

thank you all

Why did you file the i751? You must've been married for more than 2 years by the time you got your first greencard?

im sorry it happened to you. angry spouse sometimes acting up like crazy person. 

he can't cancel ur i-751 since its u who filed it and not him. and he cant "send u back to your country". 

what he can do is if u have i-751 interview that u need to attend, he can refuse to come with you. if it happened, yes technically ur i-751 wont be approved. 

 

get a divorce certificate and filed a new i-751 with divorce waiver. do it now, just in case ur i-751 got approved without interview u will have issue in the future if it got approved and u already divorced/separated. 

 

as u work and paying tax in USA is unrelated with ur i-751. everybody need to pay tax if the work here in US

When did you marry. 

What's the residence since date on your GC?

Immigration journey is not: fast, for the faint at heart, easy, cheap, for the impatient nor right away. If more than 50% of this applies to you, best get off the bus.

Must have filed very late, all I can think of.

 

And yes you need to reapply with a divorce waiver.

He can with withdraw his part of the joint I-751 you both signed.

I disagree with the other advice to file a new I-751. It is not necessary and USCIS policy ( https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/memos/i-751_Filed_ Prior_Termination_3apr09.pdf ) says you can amend your I-751 to that of a divorce waiver.

 

So:

 

* file for divorce

 

* on the day you file for divorce, send a packet to the address listed on your 48 month extension letter, containing

-  a letter asking to amend your I-751 to a divorce waiver. The letter should note your A number and I-751 case number

- a photo copy of your I-751 extension letter

 

The packet should be sent usps priority mail.
