I-751 divorce waiver — anyone self-filed without an attorney? (already filed joint)
Has anyone here successfully filed an I-751 divorce waiver without an attorney?
I’m planning to switch my case from a joint filing to a divorce waiver, but I’m a student and I can’t really afford a lawyer. I’m just trying to see if people have gone through this process on their own.
For context, I filed my I-751 jointly in Oct 2025 while still legally married. We lived together from Dec 2023 to Nov 2025. However, we separated in May 2025, and I stayed in South Korea for about 5 months before returning to the U.S.
On paper, we were still married during that time, but we were already separated in real life.
I’m mainly looking for experiences from people who filed a divorce waiver without an attorney and how their process went.
