Hi everyone,
My I-751 (filled jointly) has been pending for more than 1.5 years, and unfortunately, it looks like we'll be divorcing. I'm in California and the divorce process here takes at least 6 months (waiting period) before it's finalized, and in my case it could take even longer - possible up to 2 years (expecting for the worst).
My questions are:
1. When should I notify USCIS and convert my case to a divorce waiver?
2. If i file the waiver as soon as divorce case is open and USCIS sends me an RFE, I may not be able to provide the final divorce decree in time. Should I wait until the divorce is closer to being finalized before I switch?
3. What if i get scheduled for the interview while still in the divorce process? Can I attend the interview on my own and request to convert my petition to a divorce waiver there?
