CASE: I-751 / Waiver of the Joint Waiver Requirement
APPLICANT: Jamaican
LOCATION: Shaker Heights, OH

Our client contacted our office in February of 2020 regarding his potential I-751 filing. He is from Jamaica and he married a U.S. citizen in May 2018. Through his marriage with a U.S. citizen spouse, he obtained a 2-year conditional green card in October of 2018. Therefore, his conditional residency terminated in October 2020.

Unfortunately, during their marriage, our client and his ex-wife went through struggles. Therefore, they eventually lived separately and their divorce was finalized. Thus, our client could not file the I-751 application jointly with his ex-wife. After consultation, 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 March 23, 2020, our office filed the I-751 application with various supporting documents to demonstrate our client’s bona fide marriage with his ex-wife. 

In June 2021, the USCIS scheduled an I-751 interview for our client. Prior to the interview, our office thoroughly prepared our client at our office and informed him of potential issues at the interview.

On July 13, 2021, our client was interviewed for his I-751 application at the USCIS Cleveland, OH Field Office.  Attorney Sung Hee (Glen) Yu from our office accompanied our client.  The interview was very extensive.  Nevertheless, the USCIS approved our client’s I-751 application on the same day of his interview. Now, he has his ten-year green card.
