CASE: I-751

APPLICANT: Indian

LOCATION: North Carolina

Our client contacted our office in September of 2017 regarding his I-751 application.

He is from India and he married a U.S. citizen in September 2015. Through his marriage, he obtained a 2-year conditional green card in January of 2016.  His conditional residency terminated in January 2018.

To comply with immigration requirements, our client and his wife had to file an I-751 Joint Petition to Remove Conditions. He retained our office again on October 2, 2017, and our office prepared an I-751 application for our client with other supplemental exhibits.

On October 16, 2017, our office filed an I-751 application to the USCIS with multiple affidavits from his friends and family members, joint bank statements, joint taxes, utility bills, insurance policies, and photos of our client and his wife to demonstrate the bona fideness of their marriage.

Once the application was filed, the fingerprint notice was issued two weeks later. There was no RFE issuance or interview request for our client’s I-751 application. As a result, on February 7, 2019, the USCIS approved our client’s I-751 application and our client received his 10-year green card which removed the conditions.

CASE: I-751 / Waiver of the Joint Waiver Requirement
APPLICANT: Filipina
LOCATION: Cleveland, OH

Our client contacted our office in April of 2017 regarding her potential I-751 filing. She is from the Philippines and she married a U.S. citizen in April 2015. Through her marriage with a U.S. citizen spouse, she obtained her 2-year conditional green card in November of 2016. Therefore, her conditional residency terminated in November 2018.

Unfortunately, during their marriage, our client and her ex-husband went through struggles. 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 while her divorce was pending. 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 April 20, 2017, our office filed the I-751 application with various supporting documents (over 10 exhibits and an affidavit over 4 pages) to demonstrate our client’s bona fide marriage with her ex-husband. 

Nevertheless, on August 30, 2018, the USCIS issued Request for Evidence (RFE) and requested to submit a divorce decree and more bona fide marital evidence. Our office filed the Response to RFE on September 7, 2018 along with her divorce decree and more bona fide marital evidence with her ex-husband. Eventually, on September 27, 2018, the USCIS approved our request for the removal of conditions on her permanent resident status without even an interview. Now, she has her ten-year green card.
