Conditional green card options help.

[HeKiltIt]

Hi everybody!

First time posting looking for some advice on my conditional green card.

Back story, I moved from Scotland and married my wife here in California in late 2011, we have now separated and I'm expecting divorce papers any day now. We split up for innocent reasons, no abuse or anything like that. My conditional green card runs out in Feb 2014.

Since I moved here I have built up a good life and don't want to move back. I have maintained a steady job (the only one I've had since I moved), started a small business and have generally been a good citizen. I don't have a lot of money or a job of real importance.

Do I have any options to stay here? What can I do?

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi,

You will require to read about the conditions of Green Card. If the USCIS immigration officer is kind enough you can explain to the immigration officer about your issue.

You need to file for removal of conditions, immediately after divorce is finalized, or within 90 days of the conditional GC expiring, whichever is earlier. On the I-751 form, for the basis of applying, you will check the box that says the marriage was terminated through divorce. You will need to provide lots of proof that the original marriage was bona fide.
