I-751 Waiver
Where Your Marriage Ends in Divorce

I-751 waiver If your marriage ends in a divorce before your conditional permanent residence (CPR) expires, you should submit an I-751 waiver to the USCIS as soon as your divorce becomes final.

Most foreign-born persons who marry U.S. citizens apply for a green card in order to remain in the U.S. with their spouse. In order to become a permanent resident, they must first file for a 2-year conditional green card, and then submit form I-751 to apply to remove the condition and obtain a 10-year green card.

But what if your marriage ends in divorce or annulment before the 2 years are up? Can you still keep your green card? Will you be deported?

In this video, Immigration Attorney Carl Shusterman (former INS Trial Attorney 1976-82), whose law firm has prepared hundreds of successful I-751 waivers over the past 30+ years, explains how to prepare and submit an I-751 waiver if your marriage has ended before your 2-year green card expires. The key is to document your I-751 waiver as completely as possible. Include proof of joint assets, income tax returns and, if possible, detailed affidavits from your former spouse and his/her relatives.
