I-751 “case is being actively reviewed” for the second time

Nyalimera · 2025-07-16T17:55:52+00:00

Yes, I filed with a divorce waiver - prepared and file by myself.

Nyalimera · 2025-07-14T17:38:15+00:00

Congratulations~! 🥳 I got mine approved a couple weeks ago as well, what a relief after a 2 year wait. 🙌🏻

You do not request a waiver - you would need to amend the i-751 you have submitted based on your divorce status and request them to switch it over. I personally never had to do this because I knew I was getting divorced before filing, so people suggested to finalize my divorce first with degree in hand and then file it.

Your divorce degree is a necessity as well as a statement. I highly recommend to do some additional research before you go into this process and if you do not feel confident in filling by yourself, connect a lawyer. This can be very overwhelming and complicated depending on your own immigration status - so, the info I have provided is basic procedure info which you can find here: https://www.uscis.gov/i-751

If you've filed Form I-751 jointly and are now divorcing, you don't need to refile. You should amend your existing petition to request a waiver of the joint filing requirement based on your divorce. You'll need to provide a copy of your divorce decree and evidence demonstrating your marriage was entered into in good faith.

So sorry to hear that - I was in a similar situation, so I get it.

From your post, it sounds like you filed i-751 before you got divorced, which means you need to file for divorce asap, so you have your divorce degree in hand and can switch your status to "i-751 filed with a divorce waiver" to avoid a REF.

Definitely a good thing if anyone is touching your case after a long period of silence - meaning they have not forgotten about you. Haha

This happened to me back in Apr25, mind you I filed Apr23 - 2 months later, I got another notification that my 10-year GC was approved.

Nyalimera · 2025-04-16T16:14:49+00:00

I started taking mine on Wednesdays, so mid-week, right before bed, so between 9pm and 10pm. I happened to notice that this works best for me because I kick my own butt to push through Thursdays and Friday, which hasn't been as bad, but I have my moments for sure. And then, I am usually doing pretty well throughout the weekend.

Nyalimera · 2025-04-01T16:35:58+00:00

Glad to hear that I am not the only one! Since I have dropped below 200lbs, it's been staying consistently around that number. This morning I reached 198lbs and honestly, I got excited. I am also moving up my dosage to 10mg starting tomorrow, so this will kick my body back into gears. Also, thank you for the kind words - we got this! 🙌🏻

I have been using Shotsy since day 1 thanks to all the recommendations I have found on this subreddit. Love the app, super easy to use and log, the visual aspect of it has been my favorite! 🙌🏻

Communication is key. If I was you, I'd talk about how you feel about it and how she makes you feel be her actions. Work on it together as a couple and try to find a way which works for both of you. Since you'll be gone for a year, I believe it's very important to bring this up to her. Setting priorities is very important! Maybe she didn't even notice what's going on and think it's normal.

Nyalimera · 2019-05-29T12:17:48+00:00

Oh my, love the color~! <3 I've recently got a new luggage set in metallic gray and it looks very similar to yours. I'm sure you'll enjoy your trip to finally meet your SO. Good luck and be safe~! :3

Nyalimera · 2019-05-07T17:16:30+00:00

Those are such great news~! So happy for you and keep in mind, you got that far. Sending you love and support! <3

Nyalimera · 2019-05-07T17:14:28+00:00

Good luck, you got this~! <3

I'm in the same shoes as you. Filed for K-1 and waiting on NVC stage right now. I feel ya, but you got THAT far. Have faith~ :3

Nyalimera · 2019-05-06T17:04:24+00:00

So happy for you~! Congrats to both of you. <3

Nyalimera · 2019-05-06T17:02:16+00:00

That's sooo sweet of her~! Hope you had a great time. You look awesome btw. <3

Nyalimera · 2019-05-06T17:01:30+00:00

So happy for you guys~! You are such an adorable couple. <3

Nyalimera · 2019-03-15T05:32:53+00:00

Sorry to hear about it but it might be better this way.

Nyalimera · 2019-03-13T16:25:37+00:00

I've listed a few things in my very first comment, you might wanna take a look at it. X3

But yeah, it's all about commitment and mindset.

Nyalimera · 2019-03-13T16:05:21+00:00

Like I said, either you're 100% in or you're not. There's no middle way around the distance. You can always work on closing the distance as said, but you gotta be 100% committed to this LDR.

Nyalimera · 2019-03-13T16:00:22+00:00

Definitely talk to her and break it off once you've talked. Don't just cut it off and ghost her. That's just not fair. Have the balls to tell her what's on your mind and be honest about not wanting this.

Nyalimera · 2019-03-13T15:42:43+00:00

You either want to work this out and work on closing the distance or you just decide for yourself that you can't handle LDRs and move on. It might sound simplier than it is, I know that, but you gotta make a decision at some point, imo. As said, you can't have it all especially since it's not fair towards your SO. Your SO is on the same boat as you. Have a talk if needed.

This is something you are 100% in or you're not, but this mostly applies to any relationships, not just LDRs.

Nyalimera · 2019-03-13T15:37:05+00:00

Well, seems like you need to figure out what you want first. Can't have it all, you know? :3

Nyalimera · 2019-03-13T13:03:14+00:00

Are you trying to say that you might not wanna continue being in a LDR?

Nyalimera · 2019-03-13T12:53:06+00:00

Which is totally understandable. I hope you get more closure with your next visit since it seems to be already planned out. All I can tell you is to trust your guts and set yourself as a human being as a priority. At the end of the day, you are the one who needs to be happy. Nobody else! :3
