WOW!!!
What is going on here? I never thought my post could cause so much judgement and problems on here. Cool down guys.
First, thank you for your support. And yes, English is not my native language and I have been using it for only 6 years now, so bare with me if my tone sounds cold or dry. I'm not used to showing emotions even when I talk because that is how I've grown up. In my culture, we show very little emotions when we make conversations. Like when I graduated high school or got my bachelor degree, all my parents could say was congratulations. They did not say We're proud of you or something like that, because that is how we are. We keep our emotions inside.
Second, I posted a summary of my story here because I want to encourage and inspire those who are divorced and tempting to get divorced while filing i751, or those who are struggling to live with their spouse but afraid of getting divorce. I am not making this post to draw sympathy or try to make this a story to entertain you. I am writing this because I recalled how nervous and worried I was when I filed i751 waiver, and I hope my story will help some of you out there relax and have more confidence in your case. This is my ROC experience so I'm here to share.
Third, I'll give some details on my story here so you know if my husband hadn't died, I would still have enough evidence of how bad my marriage life was when it started going down. Here it goes. I was the one who went to work to support my husband finishing his BS as he only got one year left Although he got his GI bill, we still had a lot of bills and expenses to pay. About one year after marriage, he almost finished his degree but he started drinking and losing his self. Every time I wanted to discuss with him something, he always started cussing at me first and lost his own self and we could not resolve any issues we had. It happened more and more every day. I worked so hard to support my family and we barely made our livings, but he spent a lot of it on alcohol. I was so disappointed at him and tried to get him out of the drinking, but the cussing got worse. One day I came home from work, he locked me out of the bedroom and started cussing at me as usual, and I had to sleep on the sofa that night because I didn't have any place to go. It was very stressful living that verbally abusive life for about 3 months before I decided to come to my parents for a break. Even when I was away from him, I still kept an eye on him by checking with his father all the time until I heard he moved out, and I came back right away. I called his friends, his sisters, every one I knew but nobody knew where he moved to. I even made a post on some newspapers hoping he would read it somehow, but no luck. It was such a stressful, depressed, devastated, and hopeless time in my life that I will never forget. Before I decided to give up and get a divorce, I came and talked to my father in law, he totally supported me on it and gave me his testimony when I filed i751 waiver. So I don't agree with some of you saying here that if my husband hadn't die, I would not have been approved. I would say I would still be approved but after an interview.
Anyway, that's all I feel like I needed to say. The rest of my story I will keep it to myself because there is so much of it that it will take me a month time to type it out.
Thanks again for reading my story and take it as an inspiration for your ROC journey.

Hi guys,
I have never posted anything on here, but today I make an exception because I want to share with you guys my story and I hope it will help some of you out there struggling with i751 application after divorce.
So here is my story. I came to US on F1 visa in July 2008, met my husband in 2010, got married in March 2012, and got my conditional green card in October 2012. We did not have a big wedding with friends or anything, we just went down to county administration for the marriage certificate and did our vows there. We were happily living together in my in-law's house until May 2013, we had some fights and I decided to go back to visit my parents for 2.5 months to give us some space to think it through. I tried to call my husband a few times during those 2.5 months but he did not answer. I contacted his father and he said my husband moved out of his house and nobody knew where he went. When I came back to the US, I tried to find him using all the resources that I had, but with no luck. I thought we could not resolve our problems since he had been avoiding me, I filed divorce paper and got approved in April 2014 without his presence at court.
In October 2014, I filed i751 to remove the condition of my status as a divorced applicant. I submitted some pictures of us, joint bank account statements, joint car title and car insurance. We did not even file tax together, I filed 2012 and 2013 tax as married filing separately because my husband did not want to file together, he said it will mess up his GI bill. I could not win that argument with him, so I went and filed by myself. I also submitted a letter explaining my situation to USCIS in my i751 package. I got the receipt and did the biometrics a month after I filed.
In March 2015, I received an RFE saying I need more evidence to prove our marriage. I replied to that letter saying those evidence I submitted was all I had, I did not have anything else. However, my divorced husband shot himself in Nov 2014, so I submitted a copy of his death certificate and explained how bad he was to me when we still living together, and he was never in a good state of mind. I also explained how the divorce and the life before divorce has caused me troubles and hardship. I submitted my letter of explanation April 28, 2015 and I said in the letter that I am always ready for the interview if they would like to hear more about it.
On June 27, 2015 I received a letter in the mail saying that the condition of my status has been removed and I am now a lawful permanent resident of the US. OMG I was so happy, excited, flying in the air even. I was expecting an interview or even removal proceedings, but here I am, APPROVED WITHOUT INTERVIEW!!!
I checked my status online and it changed to card production which should be delivered to me within 30 days. The whole process took me 8 months but I am really satisfied with the result.
So to those out there who are not happy together and struggle to stay together just because you are afraid you can be removed from the US, Do not worry at all. As long as you are not afraid to tell them your true story, they will listen to you and try to understand your situation.

Hi guys,
Thank you for your reading and support.
Now I read my post again, yeah it seemed a little bit cold because I spared you guys some details about how I felt when I head about his death. I was shocked, speechless, blaming myself for his death for a while until I talked to his father. He was actually very calm and helped me through the whole devastated time of my life. I still visited him often although we were divorced, he is actually a very nice guy.
Now reading one of your comment above regarding my ex's death being a big quest for citizenship, I don't think it would be because I already divorced him before he brought himself to death. What do you think guys?
