CASE: I-751 / Waiver of the Joint Waiver Requirement
APPLICANT: Costa Rican
LOCATION: Mansfield, OH

Our client contacted our office in late January 2021 regarding her potential I-751 filing. She is from Costa Rica and she married a U.S. citizen in July 2018. Through her marriage with a U.S. citizen spouse, she obtained a 2-year conditional green card in January of 2020. Therefore, her conditional residency terminated in January 2022.

Unfortunately, during their marriage, our client and her ex-husband went through marital issues. She was the subject of extreme cruelty by her ex-husband. Therefore, they lived separately for a while and their divorce was finalized in July 2020. Thus, our client could not file I-751 application jointly with her ex-husband. After the consultation, we advised that we can help her 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 March 12, 2021, our office filed the I-751 application. In April 2022, the USCIS issued a Request for Evidence (RFE) for our client and the requested her submit more bona fide marital evidence with her ex-husband. Our office prepared and filed the Response to RFE on April 21, 2022. Eventually, on June 17, 2022, the USCIS approved her I-751 application. Now, she has her ten-year green card.
