Sorry, but I'm more inclined to listen to Mr. Folinsky on this:

Outkast 5 go figure
No she is not an attorney, but her advice and experiance over the years has proved to be equal to that of a certified professional, and is not to be sniffed at.

Re: in dilemma, joint I-751 approved after divorce
though i agree outkast is wrong but i completely disagree with ur above statement. in my humble opinion, opinions/members shouldn't be treated differently based on their senority and how many posts they have made; rather it should be based on fact and truth. a rookie member's opinions can not be ruled out for that person to be a new member or enough vetern enough compared to other members. new members could also know more than senior members, if not then obama wouldn't have been our president over all the senior and experienced candidates including John Mccain. Ted Kennedy served in Senate for 47 yrs...Obama wasn't even born when Ted started serving. John Mccain devoted his life in the senate chamber; while obama was there only 4 18 months. thus, a rookie shouldn't be underestimated. and remember, everyone was/is rookie at one time?
however it doesn't mean rete is wrong in her opinions on her. she is a long time member who has learned and read all this so often on here over the years. but undermining a rookie member solely based on number of posts and date of membership is completely wrong in my humble opinion. that's all.

Whilst 1234 does have a point, in this particular instance I see no relevance.

don't forget that the US immigration law is not meant to let you into the country. Everything is rather to be understood to make the immigration as hard as possible.
If I am allowed to repeat Ian-mstn - immigration is a benefit and not right.
USCIS will make your immigration process difficult or impossible. Even if the USCIS makes a formal mistake you will have to proof it.
Any formal error can jeopardize your whole immigration process.
Please also remember that your are only get out of the Immigration radar
when your citizenship has been approved And even than they can still get
you if you lied during the process.
I would follow the adivise of Senior members in this forum. Al least you avoid expensive attorney costs for the same advise.
But as always it your choice what you want to do - as well Only you have to pay the price for not immigrating by the book.

Are you saying that in your opinion, Rete is rendering legal advice on this website?

She is giving her free knowledge as we all try and do, but in Rete's case she has contributed more posts over a longer period of time.

ll,
Only if OK is awfully young. And his attitude does indicate that he may be, mentally anyway.
But your point about relative levels of experience is valid despite the exageration. :

Instead of questioning the legality of Rete's advice, why don't you post something helpful to give us some direction. I see your an exp. certified counselor.

I'm not attempting to make things harder nor have I ever held myself out as an attorney.
You need to read the I-751 posts here and also the instructions on the I-751. You may file a joint petition and then if you find yourself legally separated and subsquently divorced before the I-751 is adjudicated, then you need to file a waiver for the removal of conditions. Allowing it to continue and to accept the 10 year green card without notifying USCIS that you were divorced prior to the removal of conditions then the green card is void. As for Haley's reply of what an attorney said to them, the statement is most likely incomplete.
As for being at the back of the line, what difference does it make if you have to wait another two years for naturalization. The clock for that starts at the approval of the Conditional Residency. Unless, of course, you married an American for a green card with the plan to divorce, become a USC, and then import a foreign spouse with your new US Citizenship.

An answer can be right, wrong, or who the hell knows? No matter who gives it. Even attorneys have to go "oops" from time to time.
The OP has gotten the wrong information numerous times. Repetition does not correct a wrong answer.
OP may never have a problem later on. Or then he may.
