In your situation, you will need a waiver of the joint filing requirement to be able to file the petition without your US Citizen spouse. You must prove that the marriage was in good faith from its begining to the point of separation. You will also need evidence showing the divorce is finalized. You should definitely consult with an attorney to evaluate your options. Feel free to contact us if you would like to discuss your case further.

You can file for removal of your conditional residence once your divorce is finalized. You'll also want to show plenty of evidence of the good faith nature of your marriage when you do this.

Please feel free to contact me should you have any further questions.

You will need to file Form I-751. You will need to establish that you entered into the marriage in good faith. There are a few other grounds that you may apply under as well. I suggest that you contact an immigration attorney to discuss the details of your situation. My office frequently handles similar situations if you would like to email or call we will look forward to hearing from you.
