CASE: I-751 / Waiver of the Joint Waiver Requirement
APPLICANT: Indian
LOCATION: Kentucky
Our client contacted our office in early May of 2012 regarding his potential I-751 filing. He is from India and he married a U.S. citizen in May 2009 in India.
Through his marriage, he was able to come to the United States with an immigrant visa and obtained a 2-year conditional green card in June of 2010. Thus, his conditional residency terminated in June 2012.
Unfortunately, their marriage ended in February 2011. Our client experienced a lot of difficulties during his marriage with his ex-wife. Thus, our client could not file the I-751 application jointly with his ex-wife.
We advised that we can help him file the I-751 application with a waiver of the joint filing requirement. We requested a waiver because our client entered into the marriage in good faith, but the marriage was terminated through divorce or annulment before they can file a joint petition.
On June 20, 2012, our office filed the I-751 application with various supporting documents (over 18 exhibits and an affidavit over 3 pages) to demonstrate our client’s bona fide marriage with his ex-wife. Since he did not have a lot of supporting documents regarding joint financial documents and joint living arrangements of him and his ex-wife, we also attached numerous notarized affidavits from our client’s friends and family members.
In May of this year, the USCIS scheduled an I-751 interview for our client. Prior to the interview, our office thoroughly prepared our client over conference calls and discussed with him potential issues at the interview.
On June 6, 2013, our client was interviewed for his I-751 application at the USCIS Louisville, KY Field Office. Attorney Glen Sung Hee Yu from our office also accompanied our client as well. The interview went well, and eventually, the USCIS approved his I-751 application on June 12, 2013. Now, he has his ten-year green card.
