Hi Mumin,

Do you happen to know if you are at CSC or VSC?  

Yes, filed at VSC. 

I guess one of the questions I forgot to ask (and pardon my ignorance) is what happens with baby. Is it going to be "classified" as a US citizen just because it was born here, or will I have to petition baby for greencard too - and if so, when? The reason we were considering marriage before the child is born was to try and make sure baby will have an easier time getting healthcare and other related resources available then I did. 

SO..

I got divorced while I was on my conditional greencard. The divorce was finalized (took over a year) just two months ago. So I filed the I-751 with the divorce/good faith marriage waiver a few weeks (Conditional GC Expires in March) ago with oddles of proof it was a bona-fide marriage that ended..well, ugly. 

Here's the kicker. Shortly after legally seperating I met someone. And it's been wonderful. And then I found out I was pregnant. I found out while I was quite a few weeks into it and never considered terminating it. So, the baby is due at the end of May (likely pretty much way before there's a decision made on my ROC) and I have no idea what's going to happen to me. I know that the ROC process can take forever, but this baby is due in 4 months. I have no idea what I should be doing to prepare for any legal mumbo jumbo. The babies father - my boyfriend is a US citizen and is a great partner and super supportive and has asked to marry me. - I have no idea what that would look like on paper to the USCIS people and if it would help me in any way.. Obviously being removed from the US is scaring the living sh*t out of me right now since I'm in this situation and another person is involved.. At the same time marriage freaks me out ever since my last one ended. I've planned none of this and I'm extremely anxious and paranoid and hate being in such an awkward situation and can't seem to calm down. 

What should I be doing in terms of making sure that my new family will have a home here in the states? 

I realize this is an old thread but does anyone have any idea how a divorce waiver would be filled out with the new I-751? Talking about part 8. in particular. I don't feel comfortable filing in my spouses info or how to get it signed, since I'm not even filing jointly?

I would like to start by saying that I, at this point, can definitely not afford a lawyer and really need some guidance on a few parts of filing the I-751 after divorce / with the waiver. I am the immigrant spouse, and my divorce was FINALLY finalized just a few days back (spouse and I have been separated since May 2015) and I want to get this going. My 2year green card will expire in March 2017. I thought it was going to be a piece of cake (I've filed everything by myself up to this point) and was proven wrong.

I don't know if anybody has looked into it, but the new form is slightly differently worded and assembled from the one posted in Example forms.

This is the new form that I am using:

https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-751.pdf

For me, it gets tricky with the next two parts.

part 4. of the form (page 3), Asking for Citizen Spouses Name, DOB, SSN, Adress, etc,.. - Am I filling in these parts, or leaving it blank?

part 8. of the form (page 7 and 8), When they're asking for my Citizen Spouses's statement, contact information (phone number, email, etc), Acknowledgement of appoitment at USCIS application support center with typed name .. and finally signature. - Which of the following am I supposed to fill out, or more importantly - since I ticked the box that I'm petitioning with a waiver due to good faith marriage ending - which parts have to be left blank?

Right before Part 8. (pg. 7) starts there is a disclaimer saying:

''If you are filing based on claims of being battered or subjected to extreme cruelty waiver or individual filing, you are not required to have the spouse's or individual listed in part 4's signature.'' - This is what has been confusing me. SO I can fill out all of his personal information out, tick box 1.a (pg 7) that he's supposed to fill out.. Type his printed name under ''Acknowledgement of appoitment at USCIS application support center'' ...but just not have his signature?

I truly tried my hardest to form my questions in a reasonable and understandable manner, so if anyone has recently gone through this, has found an example template or whatever, or has any idea what I'm trying to say here, please, please let me know how the heck to go about it.

I'm dealing with a butt-load of extra unexpected expenses (health insurance and unexpected pregnancy for one) and really have no extra funds to get a lawyer right now.

Thanks!

Very sincerely,

recently divorced, emotional pregnant person.

Her current Boyfriend should help pay for her medical fees as well.

Oh yes he will !

Honestly, It's really about getting into a system that will ''take care of me'' for now, and then the baby - and if it wont cost us a small fortune, then that's amazing too.

I've talked to what honestly felt like a billion healthcare providers once I filled out an online quote thingy.. So aggressive. Once I begun to explain my exact situation there was just this awkward pause and wall of silence.. ''Uhmm.. ma'aam.. I don't think we can help you.'' It appears that all the super highly advertised and highly rated ''affordable'' plans won't take on a pregnant soon-to-be-divorced immigrant girl with a lousy salary. Or they offer these very lousy short-term plans with ridiculous premiums and fine prints galore.. After a few days of dealing with that and making my own calls I broke down and stopped.

So here's to hoping medicaid/CHIP/Obamacare will take me on. Application filled out and now we wait.

Received CHIP Perinatal for prenatal care twice while I was a LPR. No problems whatsoever.

That's very reassuring, dear Hungarian friend/neighbour. - Slovenian here

I just finally filled out the application.. had a few bumps along the way.. The income part seems scary as mine going to be pretty low this year, and I had no idea the coverage savings are cut off if you don't make OVER a certain amount a year... very confusing concept to me. My boyfriend has been more than amazing covering all my cut-back hours so we will get by just fine - but on paper it looks pretty bad.

Fingers crossed.

You are certainly qualified to use Obamacare. Open enrollment is in November, but as you are about to lose coverage via divorce I would think that should be a trigger to place you into a special enrollment period. O'care is not the same as Medicare or Medicaid which has the five year limit. It's open for immigrants as long as you provide qualifying documents. https://www.healthcare.gov/coverage-outside-open-enrollment/special-enrollment-period/

Made it through the application after a bunch of failed attempts.. Apparently my SSN and A# were invalid just a week ago..

Tried again today from a different computer just for the heck of it, and it worked..

Anywhom, I made it through and it appears that as far as Obamacare OR Medicaid - I am just under the minimum requirement for ''savings'' (made a little less than $11.800 last year and this year will be worse) so I have no Idea what I'll end up paying or how I'll be covered. It's now in the process of being analyzed.

This may not be the best place to post this question so feel free to move it to an appropriate place in the forum.

Long story short.

Was married for a year and it was in good faith (but ended badly) - I have a greencard that expires at the end of March 2017.. I was then seperated for over a year (state law) and just finally started the divorce process so I could proceed to ROC before I run out of time. As far as evidence for ROC I am confident - I had a consultation with a lawyer who said I have what it takes. As far as the divorce goes - I'm claiming nothing and neither is he - it's a kind of "both in fault divorce", no alimony or anything of that sort.

SO.. Two days ago I got the news that I was pregnant. It came out of nowhere. I've been with my current boyfriend for about 10 months and I love him deerly and he is overjoyed with the news and so idealistic, whereas I am absolutely dazed and terrified at the timing of events and sobbing in a corner.

I am trying to be productive and on the hunt for healthcare and I understand that my options are extremely limited. My current insurance is just about expired/cancelled. (we made an agreement to stay on the healthcare plan together until we divorce). - Matter of days at this point.

I understand that medicaid has the option (in some states including mine, North Carolina) to waive the 5 year waiting period for expecting mothers during pregnancy + delivery. What I don't know is if they will later still bill my sponsor (ex father in law) since it qualifies as a subsidy?

I really, really don't want any more trouble with my ex and his family, I just want everything over and no strings attached, and I really don't want to violate any laws regarding the affidavit of support. We've all hurt eachother enough. I want everyone to be happy and move forward.

If I don't qualify for medicaid or obamacare where do I turn to? My job also has no insurance for me.

I've called a bunch of independent healthcare providers today and just at the mention of being a greencard holder + in very early stages of pregnancy (3 weeks tops) left them completely clueless as to whom to refer me to.

ANY suggestions would be most helpful.

So here's my brief story..

Got married a year ago. Applied for greencard and it was finally approved 3 months ago. However during the process to getting said greencard, my marriage has fallen apart. I have walked away from everything for this person and now I'm finding myself living with a lazy, unattentive, stoner and gambler version of my fiancé. I cannot handle it anymore. The fights have gotten way worse, we haven't been intimate for at least 7 months and I'm just depressed, lonely and I want it to stop. I want out of this but I'm scared, bacause I know what it looks like. "I just got a GC, now I want out... " but I swear, if I continue I will literally go insane. I feel trapped and hopeless.

I want a divorce, I want to move on, but I'm being threatened. I would love to stay in the USA, because I have seriously burnt down bridges in my home to be here. So it's safe to say that I'm terrified.

His father is the joint sponsor and he's basically going to do whatever his son tells him. Can they really get me deported if I divorce? What happens when I get divorced? Does that terminate the sponshorship? Do I need a new sponsor? Is there a way I can assure his father that I'm not going to be a burden if I get divorced?

What can I do? I feel so defeated.
