I-751 (waiver) Potomac approved at exactly 29 months
My I-751 journey has finally come to an end after 29 months exactly. Filed jointly on January 14th, 2021. My marriage fell apart and we got separated in September of 2021. Divorce finalized after 13 months in November 2022. Sent a letter requesting to convert my case to a divorce waiver on December 13, 2022. Sent request letter, certified copy of divorce decree, additional marital evidence like taxes, all types of insurance, joint bank statements, bills and membership cards from the point of filing to the point of separation. I did not get an affidavit from my spouse nor friends and family. Finally, after 29 months I got approved this evening. Thank you all.

@Rocco Forté why did the divorce take that long? i am suffering in my situation and idk what to do and i am waiting for my medical rfe hoping that my case can approve because I can’t take it anymore, my spouse just walked out of my life and no contact for many months

@um ch I live in a state where you are required to be separated for a year before you can file for divorce. Also, if you have an I-130 and I-485 case then you have to be married before those can be approved.

@kim F Thanks a lot. it really has been.
Angie JJun 23, 2023
@Rocco Forté that’s awesome! hoping mine goes the same way! my divorce isn’t finalized yet, unfortunately! hopefully will be in the next couple of weeks, and then I will post the decree to USCIS. My office location was Potomac.
Rocco FortéJun 23, 2023
@Angie J It will go well. Don’t forget to add a cover letter requesting to amend your jointly filed case to a waiver. Also add evidence from the day of filing to the day of separation.

@Rocco Forté Congratulations! What if you’ve submitted all evidence you had when you submitted your I751 case? what other evidence can one provide? did you have to resend all the initial documents you sent to uscis again when sending the divorce waiver? Thaks in advance for your response. I had messaged you on another thread too
Rocco FortéJul 14, 2023
@Olawumi O Hi Olawumi, you should have additional evidence gathered from the day you filed till today. Those are important because it shows you continued living together in martial harmony after you filed.
Olawumi OJul 15, 2023
@Rocco Forté yea I submitted more evidence. sorry I’m asking from the time you got separated and started the divorce and send in a waiver
Rocco FortéJul 15, 2023
@Olawumi O Ok you can’t have joint evidence after separation and they don’t expect you to.
Olawumi OJul 15, 2023
@Rocco Forté thanks, it makes sense! don’t know why I thought we should, my mind is all over the place with anxiety
