"Pending Divorce & 2-Year Green Card – What Now?
Can I remove the conditions of my two-year residency on my own, given my abusive marriage and pending divorce?
1. Documents from your spouse’s attorney: The attorney may have given you a waiver of service document to facilitate the divorce process. However, this can have consequences. It is important to consult with a family law attorney in your state to better understand these implications.
2. Immigration Process: Even if the divorce is pending, you can still file Form I-751 to remove the conditions on your residency. You will need a copy of the divorce petition. It is not necessary for the divorce to be finalized, as these processes usually take time.
3. Important deadlines: You must file the petition to remove the conditions within three months before the two years of your green card expires. Even if you are late, you can still file on time.
4. Legal advice: Consider seeking the help of a law firm to guide you through the entire process to ensure you get the status you need.
