Affidavits are not mandatory ..at least I didn't have one.

I had fewer evidence than you and I got approved, so just relax, you are fine

send the copies of you both driver license listed as same address.

If you have insurances (car, health,life), send those too.

some pictures of you together with his friends family would be nice.

Just get a divorce and file the I-175 yourself. Gathering all the documents you could find since you will need them to prove to immigration that you guys entered the marriage in good faith.

I divorced my ex-husband before the ROC. Filed th I-175 with waiver, no REF, no interview, my greencard got approved in just 5 months.

It could be a stressful procudre but just remember, immigration cares about if your marriage is real, not if it is perfect. You will be fine, good luck.

If your divorce finalzed before the 90 days window, then file I-175 on your own behalf with waiver ASAP;

If your divorce is still pending by the I-175 filing deadline, still file it on your own behalf immediatly with waiver, notify your situation to immigration. It is not a big deal, you just need yo send them your divorce drcree after your divorce finalized.

Divorced, no interview, no REF

Just got my card order production email yesterday, very excited could get approved this fast, especially considering I was divorced before filing for removing the condition, no interview, no REF.

my timeline:

married 06/2010

conditional green card interview 11/2010

conditional green card approved 11/2010

filed divorce 07/2012

divorce finalized 11/2012

filed remove condition 11/15/2012 (3 days before the deadline)

Bio 12/23/2012

Approved 4/30/2013

the package I sent out included:

Divorce certification

both parties' driver license and car registration (same address)

2- years lease agreement with both name on

Other documents with leasing office with both name on

joint banking account statement for 2 years (I sent one check with both names on and print out each month statement)

health insurance my ex-husband got for us from his work

car insurance with both name on

recent 6 months cable bill with my name and our address on

2 years joint tax return

some pictures with his families and friends

I didn't file tons of documents or ask friends and family for affidavits, I think the most important thing is being honest. I was struggling if I should get divorce before the filing, but my attorney told me , the immigration is looking for real marriage, not the perfect marriage. I am glad I listened to her.

Good luck to everyone!

Thanks everyone above, I will share my experience and filed document at that 2012 Nov filing topic

Anyone can help? I am not sure if this means I got approved. Because I filed at November 2012 , I got divorced before I file my application, there is no interview , no REF. After the Biomatrix this is the first time I hear from immigration. So I just can't believe everything could go this fast and easy. Can anyone verify with me?

Hi guys, I just received an e-mail from USCIS today said they "we ordered producation of your new card. Please allow 3 0days for your card to be mailed to you...This step applies to applications that result in an applicant receiving a card (such as a green card) or other document). I checked my online status said the same thing. I filed my application at november 2012, does this mean my application got approved? I didn't receive any notice about this approval yet, I called USCIS and their customer service said it will come with the card.

I am still not sure, can anybody help to answer. Thanks a lot!

I am also wondering would it be helpful I send immigration a detailed letter to explain why we divorced? I didn't send it with my ROC package the first time.

you have heard nothing from Immigration, at all? Not even an I-797c, receipt notice, for filing of ROC ?

I filed my ROC at November and got the receipt and finger print at December, nothing else since then.

Wow what an experience! My girlfriend has successfully gone through the I-751 removal of conditional residency status (with waiver due to a divorce) with much ease and success thanks to the great information on this forum and help from various members specifically Sandranj. Myself personally having never been exposed to anything regarding the immigration process, I can say the hoops and hurdles that must be conquered was an eye opener. To say immigration reform is needed is an understatement.

My now girlfriend was visiting family here in the states, as she did every summer, when she met her husband. She ultimately decided to not go back and obtain her masters degree at the university as she was certain she had found the type of person to share her future with. She soon found the true colors of her now ex husband as he lied about his income, misleading about his goals in the future, verbally abusive, and unfaithful. With all of this happening within the first 14 months of the relationship she was lost on what to do. She had put off going back home and continuing her education to be a wife. No one deserves this kind of treatment so she filed for divorce in June 2012. The divorce was finalized October 2012. As soon as we received the divorce decree I helped her file the I-751 waiver application. (You must file I-751 right away after divorce is final) We sent our packet of info to USCIS in California December 5, 2012. We received the extension letter first of January 2013. Having such a short marriage and time together, we were concerned about the lack of evidence (more on that below). However, we never received an RFE. We received a notice to appear for an interview on March 8th, in first part of February. The interview took a total of 10 minutes. 10 green card on the way!

Here is the evidence we submitted:

Lease with both names

2011 tax transcript

some mail showing both names

5 affidavits (1 from her ex stating he didn't oppose her staying in the US, 1 from her brother in law, 3 from mutual friends detailing time they spent with them both)

Joint checking account statements (just a few spanning the period of marriage) (she had issues at the first of the marriage with getting original green card (lost in mail) and consequently social security card causing delays in starting work and didn't have but a few months of financial co mingling)

Detailed statement of my girlfriend, detailing the relationship

12 pictures from throughout their marriage

A separate checking account with her USC husband listed as beneficiary

We are so happy that we found VISAJOURNEY and had so much help in answering our questions. Sandranj thank you so much for the help and advice you provided while preparing. We are so happy to move on with our lives together having this behind us now. We pray and wish a speedy and successful process for all those going through this process.

congratulations! I am in the situation as your girlfriend was. Could you share some experience of the interview? Like what kind of questions they may ask? Thanks

The process takes over 6 months. Depending on where you filed it can take over 9 months. So, you're well within processing times. Your attorney can't do anything to speed it up. You just need to wait.

Your evidence doesn't look bad to me. Seriously, just wait. It'll take at LEAST another couple of months.

Thanks for the respond.

I am moving to another state for school , so I am so worried if I need to be called for the interview or worse,a appeal during my study.

Also, after moved, do I still have my interview at FL or new state?

I didn't see it already be removed, sorry for the double posting, anyone can help me delete one of them?

I married to my US citizen husband at June 2010 and got my conditional GC Nov 2010. The following two years were nightmare. He verbally and psychologically abused me and stole money from me, also he was cheating on me (he is a bi-sexual and I found out last year because he was seeing a man! he is not gay, he married to a US woman before). I couldn't stand it anymore so filed divorce and it was finalized at Nov 2012, I filed my I-1751 by myself later that month right before my GC expired.

My ex-husband was threaten all his family and friends so none of them could write an affidavit for me (he also told them I was the evil one), so my only documents submitted to immigration to prove we had a good faith marriage are:

2 years joint lease agreement;

2 years joint banking account;

car insurance and health insurance under both name;

ID card and car registration under the same address;

2 years joint tax return

some utility and cable bills under my name

photos.

I am not sure if this is enough but that all I have. He hided all my stuffs since I filed the divorce. It has been 4 months but I still haven;t heard anything from immigration. I have an attorney but he is very irresponsible. He never answered my call or e-mail after I paid him 6 months ago!

I am so worried I may not get approved. I also will start school this August in another state. Please give me some help here. what's my chance get approved? what else can I do now? should i just give up my GC application and apply for a student visa instead.

After two years of miserable marriage, now I just start a new life, going to school is the only thing I want to do now, and I don;t want my GC issue destroyed it.

Thank you people for your advice!
