What Happens if we are Separated Before Removing the Conditions on My temporary Green Card?
Should the foreign national be separated after initiating the procedure with his or her U.S. citizen spouse, he or she must finalize a divorce prior to a decision being rendered on the case. If the procedure has not yet been initiated with the U.S. citizen spouse, then it is recommended that the divorce be finalized prior to filing the I-751 form. Once the foreign person is divorced, he or she will be able to file the same application on his or her own.
There are several other ways to remove the conditions on the temporary green card even of the U.S. citizen spouse is no longer willing to support the procedure. if the foreign national has been subject to extreme cruelty for example, or if the denial of the removal of conditions would result in extreme hardship to the foreign national, or if the U.S. spouse is now deceased. These are all ground to filing for a waiver of the joint filing.
