Congrats,

if you want to tell me your NOA-1 and biometrics date I will add you to the tracker.

Sorry,

My NOA-1 was January 12, went in for the biometrics on February 18, and yes, I filed to the California service center.

And I did not hire a lawyer lol, I put together the documentation by myself

Hello all,

Today, I got the notice that my card is on its way!

My process has gone surprisingly smooth. No RFE nor interview. I really appreciate your comments and help, and of course, if there is anybody going through the process in the same situation (divorced), do not hesitate to contact me for supporting documentation for the case or any other questions.

Thanks again!

Hello, I filed in January 12th, 2015 and I got today the notice that my card is on its way. I did the biometrics sometime in early February.
My case is a little bit different, because i got divorced 4 months before the 2 year conditional residency. Everything has worked perfectly and I have not even been called for an interview.

Hello all,

So, finally, I got all my paperwork ready and my divorce was finalized last week. Therefore, I am ready to submit my documentation to remove my conditional residence. My greencard technically expires in March, 2015.

I was thinking about waiting to file my documentation after the Christmas break (Returning to the US on January,4th), just in case I got an appointment or any request from the USCIS that requires immediate action, and I would not be able to support that because I'll be gone.

My question is: Could I expect any issues re-entering the US on January the 4th? I am divorced but my Greencard is still valid until mid March.

Thanks!

I have done some research in the forum and now, my understanding is that I will get a NOA that gives a one year extension. Therefore, my greencard will still be valid for one year, starting the day I get this notice or until my case is solved.

Correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks

Hello,
So I have finally got the appointment in the court house on October 28. I think I will get the divorce decree out of it, and therefore, I will be all set the submit the paperwork to the USCIS for ROC.

One question that crossed my mind: My greencard is valid until March 2015 and I plan to travel to my country for Christmas, returning first week of January. Will I have any issues entering to the US in January, considering my case will be, most likely, in progress?

I can always call the USCIS, but I was wondering if anybody has been in the same situation.

Thanks in advance.

I think you have a point with your comment.

Regarding the letter that my wife will write supporting our relationship: does it need to be notarized?

Thanks!

Thanks a lot for all your pieces of advice. I will keep you posted with the final result or any issues I may find.

Thanks again.

Thanks a lot for your answers,

Also, at the time we got married, I was under a H1B visa, so I did not have a need to get married to stay in the US.

Would it be a good idea to include among the evidences a letter signed for both explaining what was going on? She would come to an interview if there was one...?

If I apply by myself. Can it be denied right away or at least they would give the opportunity to present more evidences or go for a face-to-face interview?

Thanks again

Hello,

I currently hold the conditional green card, which is due for renewal in March 2015.

We have been married since November 2012 but we have realized that we have different points of view regarding long-term and important life decisions such as where to live, having kids...We see our futures in a different way, and we have decided about splitting and getting divorced at some point.

She's very supportive and she's willing to help me to renew my residency, that is out of discussion.

We have been living together since October 2011 and we have all sort of evidences: the lease of the house, tax returns filed together, joint bank accounts, joint credit cards, pictures and tickets from our trips to my country (last one was last Christmas), joint health insurance through my company.

We are now considering about moving out and living in separate places, which we would not share the same address from September to the time I file the I751 form.

My doubt is whether we should try to file jointly (she is fully committed to help me, she will sign with no problem, but I have doubts regarding the window from September to the time we file, since we wouldn't be leaving together, we wouldn't share credit card accounts...this would look suspicious to my eyes) or should we file for divorce and then apply by myself, proving that the marriage was in good faith?
