CASE: I-751

APPLICANT: Chinese

LOCATION: Findlay, OH

Our client contacted our office in December of 2017 regarding her I-751 application.

She is from China and she married a U.S. citizen in October 2014. Through her marriage, she obtained a 2-year conditional green card in January of 2016.  Her conditional residency terminated in January 2018.

To comply with immigration requirements, our client and her husband had to file an I-751 Joint Petition to Remove Conditions. She retained our office, and our office prepared an I-751 application for our client with other supplemental exhibits.

On January 3, 2018, our office filed an I-751 application to the USCIS with multiple affidavits from her friends and family members, joint bank statements, joint taxes, utility bills, insurance policies, and photos of our client and her husband to demonstrate the bona fideness of their marriage.

Once the application was filed, the fingerprint notice was issued two weeks later. However, the USCIS issued the Request for Evidence (RFE) to demonstrate the bona fideness of our client’s marriage with her husband. We filed an extensive Response to RFE to the USCIS with more bona fide marital documents on August 12, 2019.  

As a result, on September 9, 2019, the USCIS approved our client’s I-751 application and our client received her 10-year green card which removed the conditions.

CASE: I-751 / Waiver of the Joint Waiver Requirement

APPLICANT: Filipina

LOCATION: Ohio

Our client contacted our office in June 2017 regarding her potential I-751 filing. She came to the United States from the Philippines and she married a U.S. Citizen (her ex-husband) in June 2015.

Through her marriage, she was able to obtain a 2-year conditional green card in November of 2015. Thus, her conditional residency terminated in November 2017.

Unfortunately, their marriage ended in May 2016. Our client experienced a lot of difficulties during her marriage with her ex-husband. Thus, our client could not file the I-751 application jointly with her ex-husband.

Once retained, 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. We focused on the supporting documents that she can show and helped her draft an extensive affidavit about their marriage, and why it ended the way it did.

On July 17, 2017, our office filed the I-751 application with various supporting documents to demonstrate our client’s bona fide marriage with her ex-husband.  

In January 2019, the USCIS scheduled an I-751 interview for our client.

Prior to the interview, our office thoroughly prepared our client via conference calls and informed her of potential issues at the interview.

On January 31, 2019, our client was interviewed for her I-751 application at the USCIS Cincinnati, OH Field Office.  The interview was very extensive. Nevertheless, the USCIS approved our client’s I-751 application on March 28, 2019. Now, she has her ten-year green card.
