Filing Form I-751, the Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, is a critical step for conditional green card holders seeking to transition to permanent residency. While the process is straightforward for some, it can be delayed due to errors, insufficient evidence, or complications like divorce or allegations of fraud.

At Kasturi Law, LLC, our founding attorney, Shobhana Kasturi, brings over 27 years of legal experience, including over a decade dedicated to helping individuals and families across Illinois, and can help streamline your I-751 application process. Here’s how.

Speeding Up Your I-751 Approval: How Our Illinois Immigration Attorney Can Make a Difference

Our experienced immigration attorney can significantly increase the chances of a smooth and expedited I-751 approval by addressing potential obstacles and ensuring your petition is complete and compelling.

Ensuring Proper Documentation

A strong I-751 petition requires comprehensive evidence to prove the legitimacy of your marriage.

Our attorney can:

  • Identify necessary evidence: Our attorney can help you gather documents such as joint financial statements, shared leases, photos, and affidavits from family or friends.
  • Tailor evidence to your case: Guide the most persuasive documentation for your specific circumstances.
  • Address gaps: Assist in explaining missing or unavailable evidence in a way that satisfies S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) requirements.

Avoiding Errors and Omissions

Simple mistakes or incomplete forms can lead to delays or even denials.

We can help ensure:

  • Accuracy: Your Form I-751 is filled out correctly with no missing information.
  • Compliance: All forms are signed, dated, and submitted according to USCIS guidelines.
  • Clarity: Any ambiguous or conflicting information is clarified to avoid unnecessary scrutiny.

Handling Special Circumstances

Life situations such as divorce, separation, or spousal abuse can complicate the I-751 process.

We can:

  • File a waiver: Help you apply for an I-751 waiver if you are filing without your spouse due to divorce, death, or abuse.
  • Demonstrate good faith marriage: Provide legal strategies to prove your marriage was legitimate, even if it ended.
  • Protect your rights: Assist victims of domestic abuse in filing under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) protections, ensuring safety and confidentiality.

Preparing for a USCIS Interview

While many I-751 petitions are approved without an interview, USCIS may request one in cases with missing evidence or red flags.

Our immigration attorney can:

  • Prepare you thoroughly: Practice common questions to help you provide clear, consistent answers.
  • Clarify misunderstandings: Address concerns raised by USCIS in your initial petition.
  • Attend the interview: Represent you at the interview to provide immediate legal support if complications arise.

Addressing Requests for Evidence (RFEs)

If USCIS issues an RFE, our attorney can:

  • Analyze the request: Determine precisely what additional evidence is needed.
  • Craft a strong response: Ensure the additional documentation addresses USCIS’s concerns.
  • Prevent further delays: Submit the response promptly and correctly to avoid additional processing time.

Monitoring Your Case and Advocating for Expediency

Our Illinois immigration and naturalization lawyer can help speed up processing by:

  • Tracking your petition: Monitor your case status and ensure USCIS meets standard processing times.
  • Requesting expedition: If you have a compelling reason for urgency, such as job opportunities, travel needs, or family emergencies, we can request that your case be expedited.
  • Filing inquiries: Communicate with USCIS to resolve processing delays or escalate issues when appropriate.

Minimizing Risks of Denial or Delays

USCIS denials often stem from insufficient evidence or procedural mistakes.

We reduce these risks by:

  • Anticipating USCIS concerns: Identify potential weaknesses in your petition and address them proactively.
  • Staying updated on immigration policies: Navigating shifting immigration laws and ensuring compliance with current regulations.
  • Providing legal support for appeals: If your petition is denied, an attorney can guide you through the appeals process or help you refile.
