Divorce after filing I-485

[Allover121]

So I have been married to my american wife for more than three and a half years now, we separated after two years of being a happily married couple. We never got divorced for the sake of immigration purposes as it was time to file the I-485 and just simpler not to. I filed all the information we had proving we lived and had had a life together for the time required to remove restrictions. Had my second Bio appointment, waited and waited. 10months are filing they have sent me a letter asking for more proof of our marriage. This is obviously a problem as I have nothing to send them for the past year and a half. We also live in different states. The only thing I can think of is filing for divorce (we get on fine and would be a simple process) and file for a waiver of divorce. I'm not sure if this will work though as I already have filled my initial I-485. I know once I file it I may be safe in the country until they give me an extension or not, but I also know they take a long time processing and my work fly's me internationally on a regular basis and being grounded isn't really an option. I really cant see a practical solution as they want the paperwork delivered seven weeks from this date. If anybody has any idea's it would be much appreciated. Cheers.

Allover,

You are no longer eligible for a Green Card unless you choose to refile a self-petition based on being abused by your wife (it happens).

The only way you might obtain a Green Card with your existing i-485 is if USCIS waives your interview and approves your Green Card without an interview.
