5. Affidavits sworn to or affirmed by at least two people who have known both of you since your conditional residence

was granted and have personal knowledge of your marriage and relationship. (Such persons may be required to

submitted and also contain the following information regarding the person making the affidavit: his or her full name

and address; date and place of birth; relationship to you or your spouse, if any; and full information and complete

details explaining how the person acquired his or her knowledge. Affidavits must be supported by other types of

evidence listed above.

If you are filing as an individual due to the death of your spouse, submit a copy of the death certificate with your

petition, along with evidence of the qualifying relationship.

If you are filing as an individual because your marriage has been terminated, submit a copy of the final divorce

decree or other document terminating or annulling the marriage with your petition, along with evidence of the qualifying

relationship.

If you are filing as an individual because you and/or your conditional resident child were battered or subjected to

extreme cruelty, submit:

1. Evidence of the abuse, such as copies of reports or official records issued by police, courts, medical personnel, school

officials, clergy, social workers, and other social service agency personnel. You may also submit any legal documents

relating to an order of protection against the abuser or relating to any legal steps you may have taken to end the abuse.

You may also submit evidence that you sought safe haven in a shelter for the abused or similar refuge, as well as

photographs evidencing your injuries; and

2. A copy of your divorce decree, if your marriage was terminated by divorce on grounds of physical abuse or extreme

cruelty.

If you are filing for a waiver of the joint filing requirement because the termination of your status and removal

would result in “extreme hardship,” you must submit evidence that your removal would result in hardship significantly

greater than the hardship encountered by other foreign nationals who are removed from this country after extended

stays. The evidence must relate only to those factors that arose during the two-year period for which you were admitted

as a conditional resident. For a discussion of extreme hardship, please visit this website:
