Filing I-751 sooner than 2 years after first GC?

Has anyone ever tried not waiting for two years but filing I-751 and applying for removal of the conditions straight away?

Is your divorce final? If so you may file immediately.

If you are still married you have to wait until 90 days before the two years are up.

I didn't do any research into your past, but if you are still married and try to file the I-751 earlier than 90 days before the expiration of your conditional GC, it will be denied and you'll be out the filing fee. No sense in doing that.

hcj,

How about if their spouse is beating them on a routine basis?
