You do not have wait until the 90 day window opens if filing an I-751 waiver.  You can file early.

I thought one can file early if divorce is finalized before I-751 filing deadline?

Even if allowed to file now, I'd probably wait until dealine if divorce is not near completion. I wouldn't want to get RFE early personally. In states like California, separation is 6 months before couple can proceed with divorce.

I agree.  I would always wait for the final decree since there is no "separated" waiver.

Nothing would stop them from filing earlier... but without a final divorce decree, it can't be approved, and @may222223 would be in a pickle if you get an interview without the decree in hand. Wait until you have the decree and then file I-751 immediately with waiver. If you hit the 90-day window before you have the final decree in hand, file then even without the decree and note in the filing that you are waiting for it, and include other evidence with the waiver.

Yep, that's what I would do too

You can file as soon as you are divorced

The only issue is that he is the one delaying the divorce ,not sure why ,he told me financial issue but we dont have kids or mortgage, but he is willing to do affidavit of support for the divorce, that's why I thought to send everything until I get divorce and then scan it because I heard they get RFE after a year or so ,and I am trying not to waste any time because it pointless anyway to just wait

You could get an RFE for a divorce decree a lot sooner than that...a lot sooner.  It's better, imo, to wait until you have the divorce decree if possible.
