Hi I entered the US in 2000 and got a temporary permanent residency. Then I got issued a permanent residency card in february 2003. Just after that my husband decided to divorce me. I did not tell the INS about the divorce, kept my married name and moved. I did notify them of the address change. Now I am remarried and want to get my citizenship, but I am nervous as I am worried that when I got divorced I should have either informed the INS, or my visa should have been revoked due to the divorce? I would also like to change my name to reflect my new married name, but again if I do that they are going to know I am divorced. Does anyone know how this works? Am I ok? Is my visa still valid? My card has an A# on it, dont know if this matters. Also if my visa is ok, can I apply for my citizenship? How many years after entering the country can you apply? And does it count from when you originally entered or from the date os issuance of the permanent residency card? Thank you so much for any help.
