Hi Damara, I am going through pretty similar situation right now, and I found you've been providing really helpful answers regarding this application. I was wondering if you could give me some advice as well. Here is some details about my applications. My husband is an USC, and we filed I-751 jointly.
- Submitted I-751 jointly in July 2016 in California.
- Took my biometrics in August 2016 and received 1 year extension on my GC, which will expire in August 2017.
- As of today, USCIS office is still processing applications submitted in June 2016. So it's only a matter of time before they get to mine.
We dated for 1 year and 4 months and got married. It's been 3 years and 3 months since we were married. However, things have not been great, and we have always tried to work it out in the last couple of years. Unfortunately, he has decided that he wanted a divorce. We are going to court next week (5/15/2017) to file for a divorce. It will take at least 6 months for the divorce to finalize in Southern California. I consulted several lawyers and they all told me to file the divorce now if he really wants to but just wait for immigration’s notice. I feel I should notify immigration office first after we file a divorce, but I really don’t know how that will affect my application. Every lawyer told me, once we file for a divorce, do not to have any actions right now but wait.
I think Immigration Office will get to my application in 2-3 months. Do you suggest that I wait now without further action? And if I do get RFE or an interview, I notify them that we are in divorce process and maybe then switch to a waiver?
I am also likely to move out once we file for a divorce, should I change my address too? Will changing my address affect my application?
I am greatly appreciated for your help and thank you @alluneedisluv for sharing your process! Best of luck to the both of us!
