Hi,
I have a question about a conditional green card (through marriage to a US citizen) and divorce/remarriage. I have been good friends with this woman who came here on a fiance visa in June 2002. She married her fiance in Sept 2002 and was granted her conditional permanent resident status in Nov 2003. So they have to ask for the condition to be removed approx Sept 2005 so that she can stay here.
The problem is that her marriage has become unbearable to her because he has completely stopped giving her any kind of love or affection. She is very miserable and wants out desperately. The other complication is that during our friendship, we have fallen deeply in love and want to get married (I am also a US citizen). I guess the question is: Can she divorce him and re-marry quickly without being deported? Does that totally cancel out her residency status? Or does she have to tough it out and live in misery for another year to be safe?
She talked about just going back to the Phillippines and starting over with me with a fiance visa, but is afraid that she might not be able to come back after all of this. This is a very heartbreaking ordeal for us and I greatly appreciate any information that might help.
