My wife and I filed to remove conditions on my permanent residency, I did the biometrics appointment, and I also received my form i-751. Unfortunately, we are filing for divorce. What should I do in this situation. Are there any forms I need to fill out once the divorce is final?
Once you have commenced or completed divorce proceedings, you are no longer eligible to remove the conditional basis of your residence status through the joint filing of you and your wife. You must notify U.S.C.I.S. of the situation in order that the agency can consider your application on the basis of your having had a bona fide marriage which is now being dissolved or dissolved or some other basis. Please note that the agency cannot approve an I-751 based on a pending divorce, but will give you time to complete the proceedings.
