hi everyone,

I just joined this site and happy i found it. I was hoping to get some support/suggestions about my situation. I am the USC and here's the timeline:

6/2005 - filed for K-1
10/2005 -fiance arrived to USA
1/2006 - Married
3/2006 - problems started to arise; not his fault, but I'm not happy and start thinking about divorce
6/2006 - LPR approved, GC received

So now, we've been married 7 months and he just received his greencard a little less than 2 months ago. I have a trunk filled with our wedding memorabilia, not to mention the thousands of dollars we spent. He loves me, but I am not in love with him anymore and I want a divorce. However, I want to help him and support him in any way possible. I am afraid if I start proceedings so soon, he'll get denied because it's too close to when he received the conditional greencard. I would not only be willing to help him file to lift conditions after the divorce, but would attend any interviews etc. Again, this is not his fault per se, just for me didn't work out but I don't want to hurt him any more by him possibly getting deported.

Any advice? I really appreciate anyone listening and your opinions. Thank you in advance for your help.

He can get LPR as long as he proves that the marriage was entered in "good faith", i.e. that you didn't just get married so he could get a green card. Obviously if you get divorced and you attest to the USCIS that it was purely your decision (as the USC) then this will look better than if it was his decision.

However, either way, getting divorced after 7 months of marriage looks suspicious, so you have to be very careful. It sounds like you just rushed in to quickly, but you have to look at your case with the eyes of a USCIS officer who sees Green Card fraud every day.
 
Thank you dr_lha. That confirms what I was thinking already.

Maybe I did rush into it - but I really think its more that we didn't have the time to live together or I should say near and the 90-day window isn't much time. Either way, it's my choice, not his to move forward with the divorce, I just want to get as much info as possible so I know how to help him.

Thank you again for the advice.
