Its a bit more complicated of a process than most people think so consider talking to an attorney to see if you need some help with the application. Good Luck.

    If you have not already done so, prior to letting it expire, USCIS will only accept your I-751 filing upon the showing of "extraordinary circumstances" which prevented you from filing. If you don't or don't file, you will be placed in removal proceedings.

    You must be divorced to be able to file on your own and be able to invoke the "good faith" exception to the joint filing requirement.

    I urge you to schedule a consultation appointment with an immigration lawyer.
