Understanding the I-751 and Conditional Residency
Our client, Ms. H., was granted conditional residency in the United States and had jointly filed with her U.S. citizen spouse to remove the conditions of her residency. The form for this process is called the I-751. In her original filing, Ms. H. included evidence of a lawful marriage between her and her spouse.
However, the current processing time of the I-751 is around 3-4 years. During this time, the couple divorced, which led Ms. H. to contact DeMine Immigration for assistance.
Our Strategy
We explained to Ms. H. that she did not need to refile the I-751. Instead, she could request to amend her joint filing to a waiver of the joint filing requirement. Following the guidelines outlined by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), we put together a comprehensive packet showing the timeline of Ms. H.’s relationship and the reasons why the couple divorced.
