CASE: I-751 / Waiver of the Joint Waiver Requirement
APPLICANT: Filipina
LOCATION: Texas
Our client contacted our office in October of 2015 regarding her potential I-751 filing. She came to the United States as an Immigrant Visa holder from the Philippines and her visa was petitioned by her late US Citizen husband. She got her two-year green card in August 2015. Her conditional residency terminated in August 2017.
Unfortunately, her husband passed. Thus, our client could not file the I-751 application jointly with her late husband. Nevertheless, she has a lot of supporting documents to demonstrate that our client entered into the marriage in good faith, but her marriage was ended in an unfortunate way by her husband’s death.
On July 22, 2016, our office filed the I-751 application with various supporting documents to demonstrate our client’s bona fide marriage with her late-husband. Eventually, the USCIS approved our client’s I-751 application on October 5, 2017 without any RFE or interview. Now, she has her ten-year green card.
