Your spouse refusing to sign doesn’t automatically mean you’ll lose your green card.
If you received a 2-year conditional green card through marriage, you would typically file Form I-751 jointly with your spouse to remove the conditions. But life doesn’t always go according to plan.
If you’re separated, going through a divorce, experiencing abuse or extreme cruelty, or your spouse refuses to cooperate, you may qualify to request an I-751 waiver and file without your spouse’s signature or participation.
The end of a relationship—or an uncooperative spouse—doesn’t automatically mean the end of your immigration journey. What matters is understanding which filing option applies to your circumstances and preparing evidence that supports your case.
⏰ If your conditional green card is approaching its expiration date and you’re unsure what to do next, don’t wait to explore your options.

Delayed pay and broken promises may be more than just a bad job situation.
When an employer repeatedly promises steady work or wages but doesn’t follow through, it can be a red flag—especially when those broken promises are combined with threats, immigration-related pressure, debt, document confiscation, or other forms of control that make it difficult for a worker to leave.
Labor trafficking generally involves the use of force, fraud, or coercion to obtain labor or services. While unpaid or withheld wages alone do not automatically make someone eligible for a T visa, the circumstances surrounding the employment matter.
For immigrant survivors who qualify, a T visa may provide legal status, work authorization, and a potential pathway to permanent residency.
If something about your employment situation doesn’t feel right, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Your experience deserves to be properly evaluated.

September’s Visa Bulletin brings an important update for spouses and qualifying children of green card holders.
For the F2A category, the September 2026 Dates for Filing chart is current, meaning there is no priority-date cutoff on that chart this month. However, being current for filing is not the same as being current for final approval. The Final Action Dates chart still has cutoff dates, so some applicants may still have to wait before a green card can actually be issued. Travel.gov
This is why understanding the Visa Bulletin—and which chart applies to your specific case—is so important. Visa availability can move forward, remain unchanged, or even retrogress from month to month. Travel.gov
If you’re the spouse or qualifying child of a green card holder, now is a good time to review your priority date and determine what this update may mean for your next step.

Abuse doesn’t always leave a bruise.
One of the biggest misconceptions about VAWA is that you must have experienced physical violence to qualify. But the law recognizes battery and extreme cruelty, which means certain forms of emotional, psychological, financial, and immigration-related mistreatment may also be relevant to a VAWA case.
Financial control, isolation from family and friends, threats involving your immigration status, intimidation, humiliation, and manipulation can all be serious forms of control—even when there are no visible injuries.
If your spouse is using fear, control, or your immigration status against you, don’t assume your experience “isn’t serious enough.” Every situation is different, and understanding whether your circumstances may qualify starts with having your case properly evaluated.

A new executive order could have serious immigration consequences for people connected to “birth tourism”—even when the travel happened in the past.
On August 6, 2026, President Trump signed Executive Order 14419, “Ending Birth Tourism.” The order defines birth tourism as entering the United States on a nonimmigrant visa for the purpose of giving birth on U.S. soil, or helping another foreign national enter for that purpose. The White House
The order directs the State Department and Department of Homeland Security to develop and implement enforcement measures. Depending on the individual circumstances and applicable law, those measures may include visa denials or revocations, denial of entry, removal from the United States, and potentially permanent bars to future entry. The order specifically allows action involving people who previously engaged in birth tourism, not only future travelers. The White House
If you believe this order could affect your immigration history, don’t make assumptions about your case. Have your individual circumstances reviewed so you understand how the new policy may apply to you.

Have Advance Parole and plans to travel outside the United States? There’s an important change you need to know about before you leave.

On August 13, 2026, the Board of Immigration Appeals issued Matter of Del Carmen-Lara, overruling the longstanding precedent in Matter of Arrabally and Yerrabelly. The BIA now treats travel on Advance Parole as a “departure” for purposes of the unlawful-presence rules.

That means some travelers who have accumulated unlawful presence could trigger a 3-year or 10-year bar when they depart—even when traveling with an approved Advance Parole document. The consequences depend on your individual immigration history, so this does not mean every Advance Parole traveler will automatically face a bar.

If you received travel advice before this decision, have your case reviewed again before getting on that plane. Knowing how this new ruling applies to your specific history could make a major difference.

⚖️ Denied before? That doesn’t always mean your immigration journey is over.

Depending on the reason for the denial and your current circumstances, you may have options to reapply, provide additional evidence, or pursue another immigration pathway.

Before trying again, understand what went wrong and how you can build a stronger case. Reach out to Simon Says Law at (281) 606-5362 to discuss your options.
