Hi!
I'm a wee bit confused as to how to fill form I-751 to get my conditional status removed. My wife (US Citizen) and I (conditional green card holder) are separated, but not yet divorced, however we do plan on getting divorced. Our lawyer at the time (about a year ago) told us to wait until we filed this, and then go through with the divorce. My conditional status expires in about 3 months. (I would consult the lawyer, but I unfortunately cannot afford it right now)
My question is regarding part 3 on the form, where I have to state whether I'm filing jointly or separately. I can't put jointly, since we're not really together, but there is also no option for 'separate but not yet divorced'.
We are on good talking terms and still share finances, FWIW. However, we don't share the same physical address.
So should I choose the following option:
My marriage was entered in good faith, but the marriage was terminated through divorce or annulment
I can provide our different physical addresses, and also include a letter explaining the situation, along with why we are getting divorced (Its a valid reason, with me having proof of everything, along with receipts of 9 or so months of couples counseling). I doubt I have time to get divorced and then file this, specially since we're both in different states currently.
Thank you
