SY12

My interview went smooth. History questions first, then reading and writing. After that, we just went over the N-400 form. Oath right on the spot and got my naturalization certificate right away.

Filed 07/22/2020, interviewed scheduled for 01/26/2021

I got a biometric reuse letter on 10/28/2020

No, I didn't do anything since I wasn't expecting any update until next year.

Filed online on 07/22/2020, received biometrics reuse letter on 10/28/2020. I did my biometrics 5 years ago.
Local field office: Denver
Hope this helps 
 

Hello hello! I would either include a letter explaining the marriage now or when you update USCIS with the final decree. 
 
As to the address, I am not 100% sure. When I filed, I just filed with the address listed on the USCIS website. 
https://www.uscis.gov/i-751
 
As to the letter, I did not follow any sample letter. I basically started with a paragraph expressing my intention to switch to a divorce waiver. Then I started talking about how we met, what we were doing at the time, and what happened in the marriage that leads to a divorce. I ended with a paragraph expressing what I currently do (at the time of filing) and what my goal is for the future. I also emphasized that I have been in the US for almost ten years, always in good status (F1 before marriage) and have no intention to obtain a green card by fraud.
 
Hope this helps!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Got my card yesterday!
After case approved on 01/03, USCIS has been really good about keeping me updated.
So happy this is finally over.
Good luck to everyone still waiting!
 

Hello all,
 
Happy New Years ~ Yesterday I received a notification saying "card is being produced" and just want to share my experience.
 
NOA date is 08/01/17, jointly filed in CA office
02/xx/18 Case Transferred to Local Office (cannot remember the exact date but this appears to be a bug maybe)
Summer of 2018, I switched to a divorce waiver after receiving the final decree
10/16/18 Transferred to Nebraska
01/03/19 Card is being produced
 
NO RFE, NO INTERVIEW
 
For the divorce waiver, I submitted a personal statement explaining the relationship, the final decree, some photos, 3 letters from my friends and that was all.
 
Personally, I came to the US when I was 15 for high school. I met and married my ex-husband in college. We then moved to Colorado where I attended law school.
During law school, our relationship went sour and we decided to separate. I switched from jointly filed to a divorce waiver after receiving the final decree.
There was no violence, abuse, cheating, or anything like that. We just grew apart.
 
I am sharing my experience to reassure that even with a divorce waiver with no violence, people can still pass I-751 without RFE or Interview. Just tell the truth!
 
Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions! 
 
BEST LUCK TO EVERYONE THAT IS STILL WAITING. YOU WILL GET YOUR CARD!

Hello!
 
It is okay to move, just update your address online. My case was transferred to Nebraska also, and it was adjudicated about 2 months after the transfer.
 
If I were you, I would update USCIS with the divorce decree and ask to switch to a waiver. You don't have to do that but they do REF if they know you are divorced. Even if you get the 10-year green card without interview or REF, when you apply for citizenship, they might ask why you did not inform USCIS about the divorce when your I-751 is pending.
 
Hope that helps! Good luck

My ex-husband and I also jointly filed but then divorce while I-751 pending. I waited for the final decree to arrive and then requested a switch to a divorce waiver. I mailed them a copy of the final decree, some pictures of us, a personal statement explaining what happened, and three letters from my friends. I was recently approved without any RFE or interview and have my 10-yr card on hand now. Good luck! Let me know if you have any questions

Haha I am planning on practicing family law, maybe also immigration.  
Feel the calling to help fellow immigrants like me  

Yes, I filed in CO which has a 90-day waiting period.  
In CA, the waiting period is 6 months, from the date of service.
 

USCIS gives the choice for you to file any time after you become a conditional resident but before you are removed from the country. So I'd say that either file immediately after obtaining the final decree or wait till the 90 days window open would both be fine. However, since the waiting process is rather long now, filing as soon as you get the final decree might be better. 
 
I switched from jointly filed to divorce waiver and had no problem obtaining the 10-yr green card. Hope that helps
