i got married to a U.S. citizen a year and half ago, applied for a
green card right after the marriage, and received my conditional green
card exactly one year ago. we do not have kids but own property
together (house with a mortgage, car), have joint bank accounts, joint
credit cards, pictures, etc. in addition we dated for a couple years
before marriage (have phone bills, pictures, correspondance as a
proof).
the problem is that the marriage did not work out and we will be
getting a divorce shortly. i would like to stay in the U.S. however
and realize that after the divorce is final i need to file i-751 to
apply for a "good faith marriage" waiver.
my question is whether in practice such waivers get approved (i.e.
what are my chances of being deported?) and if the evidence described
above would be sufficient? has anybody here been in a similar
situation? any insights or comments would be really appreciated!

Marc,
Yes, people in your circumstance frequently do get approved.
I've no way to estimate what your odds are, or to guess how any particular CIS official will judge your evidence. But I will venture the observation that you've already proved once to the CIS that your marriage was entered into in good faith - otherwise they wouldn't have approved your adjustment of status.
