a similar future outcome. Okay, so keep that in mind. Now let's talk about what happened in
this story. So this is the removal of conditions waiver case and the client came to see us.
She met with me actually in September of 2020, and she was very anxious because she had her
two-year green card and she was concerned because she could not find her husband and her green card
was going to expire in a few months. And so, um, I discussed with her what we could do for her,
but maybe the ti the timing just wasn't right yet because she still had several more months
to go on her green card. After she met with us, she then filed for divorce because she
could not find her husband. And, um, she filed her divorce and she later came back to us to prepare
the removal of conditions case so that she could get her 10 year green card without her husband's
help. Um, we told her that her case was weak, however, because she really didn't have a lot of
evidence to prove that the marriage was genuine and also the divorce hadn't finalized yet.
But because her residency card was about to expire, we prepared the case and we filed it and
advised her she may get an R F E or request for evidence, right, because the government will want
the final divorce decree and also it's week on the evidence side. So we filed in February of 2021,
and then in July, 2022 we did get the R F E asking for evidence about the marriage,
asking for the final divorce decree, and thirdly, asking for more evidence about the extreme
hardship she will face if she is de deported. And so she was only able to muster up a few
more pieces of evidence related to the marriage. Guys, we didn't get a lot, uh, we only got a few
pieces of mail, uh, showing that the husband had received mail at the address where they lived and
also some bank statements. So therefore we had no other option but to focus in our winning strategy
on extreme hardship. And so we inquired with her and went deeply into her life circumstances
to find out why would this client suffer extreme hardship if she is deported back to her country.
And we learned some things about her life And we, there were, we uncovered a lot. And so
we were able to then hone in on the circumstances that we thought were the, the win in ones, right,
the ones that we could build on. And so we did that, we built her case and we,
um, filed our response in December, on December 9th, 2022, uh, just several weeks ago,
obviously, uh, last month. And the case was approved. The case was approved on, um, January
18th. We got the email saying that the case was approved and that they're printing her green card.
