I have a friend who married American citizen two years ago, and now has conditional
permanent resident status. The marriage has not gone well, and recently her husband
has left her. She is considering filing for divorce on the basis of abandonment.However,
she will have to apply to have conditions on permanent residency removed next year,
and she is unsure what effect this will have on her application. She was told she would
have to file form I-751 with waiver of joint filing requirement. Could anyone clarify what
this is? Does she need to formally divorce before these are filed?` What mitigating
circumstances exist to enable her to file without husband? She has not suffered physical
abuse, but has endured much mental anguish during this relationship. She also has her
10 year old child living with her, also with conditional status
