Hi everybody. I really, really need your help and expertise. My (ex) wife is an U.S. citizen and I am a conditional GC holder. I recerived my Temporary GC on Feb. 14th, 2007 through a real, legitimate marriage. I have a lot of evidences (joint checking account, house deed, health insurance, etc..) that we entered the marriage without the will to fraud the Immigration. But eventually things between us worsened and worsened to the final point. How many chances do I have to finally get approved and become a Permanent Resident without condition? The deadline for my permanent GC will be Feb.14th, 2009, so there is still a long time to go. Did anybody find himself/herself in such a situation? And if so, how did end like? I am just terrorized to the idea of going through the removal process.. Any advice will be immensely appreciated!! Thank- you .
 
It could be complicated, but that is not always the case.

I suggest you read the instructions for the form I-751 as it states that you can file to remove the conditions of your residency by yourself if you divorced. You can do this at any time.

If you do not mind me asking, when was the divorce final (legal)? because if it was too close to Feb 2007, then I would say it would be harder.

Again, read those instructions and research this forum. I would think you should be OK with that. :cool:
 
Praetorian XI, as I write, I still have to sign the paperwork, so I am technically still married. I do not know how long it will take to make it official in a Court, but I guess just a few days. So, basically, I will be divorced sfter a little more than four months since I have gotten my GC. Do you think is it just too less time ?
Tomorrow afternoon I will see a lawyer.
 
I would not know if it is too short of a time.

But if the marriage was brief (less than 1 year) I would find it hard get proof that it was entered in good faith. :p
 
We have gotten married on April 28, 2006, so it is definetely more than one year. By the time the divorce paperwork will be filed, it will have been almost 14 months
