divorcing after temp green card
- Thread starter Lunatic
- Start date
I too am unfortunately in a similar situation and have no idea what happens in case of divorce. Most answers I have received are about where the citizen sponsor is abusing the spouse. In my case, there is no abuse. We just cant seem to adjust to each other but are on fairly good terms otherwise. So we might get a garden variety divorce, but I dont know what happens after that. If you find something please do let me know.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Immigration rule is now tougher than ever.
Conditional green card holder may loose the GC & deported from USA.
"Conditional" means , Immigration wants to know that really they are married , or just married for GC.
If it seems that marriage is for GC, it will be terminated.
It is wise to consult with a good lawyer

Re: terminate
Maria,
that is true.. but if the beneficiary is able to prove that he / she was married in good faith and it didn't work out .. there is a waiver you can file along with the I751 (petitions to remove conditions)

HI All,
While VAWA laws are helping some truly battered spouses out there, some people (unfortunately) are exploiting those laws.
A very trying and awkward situation for one of my friends...
Feb 2002 - He applied for his I-485 AOS in CA
Jan 2000 thru June 2002 - she was on H1B - but never worked , no W2 (her friend sponsored her H1b); financially broke
July 2002 - They were both on H1B & Got Married
Aug 2002 - He applies for her I -130
Sept thru Jan 2003 - (for 4months) she leaves him to see her folks for some family reasons in India
Feb 2003 - She starts threatening him that she would divroce him -also mentioning that she doesn't need him as her I-130 was already filed
Feb 2003 thru May - She BEGINS to meet social workers, meets people around town to FALSELY show that she is being battered (no evidence what so ever)
May 2003 - She calls 911 with UNPROVEN threats to her life & Physical Abuse (COPS leave home without any charges & recommend her to go to Marriage counseling);
May 2003 - Leaves him & lives with a "social worker" - who gives her Evaluation as a "clinical social worker" TRYING to show evidence of (ALLEGED) mental cruelty (they are colluding)
- Files WRONGFUL/FALSE Complaints with POLICE about Physical Abuse - case not proven & closed
June 2003 - After trying invain to trace her, & to reconcile and After having had enough of her MANIPULATIVE ways, he filed for "no Fault" divorce; She responded (albeit falsely) with mental & physical cruelty under tort case (she is aiming for big money).
Aug 2003 - He is ALMOST there with I-485 (GC) approval
Her AOS will come through (in normal situation) by Nov 2003
NOW, WHAT are his options? OBVIOUSLY, she USED him to get GC. She is even searching for her next husband (just 20days after separation). Will she be able to file I-751 (removal of conditions) and/or I-360? 751/360 only works against citizens and Lawful Permanent Resident at the time of filing of 130?? what if he is not LPR before the separation?
Any Advice regarding this matter is GREATLY appreciated.
Thank you,

refer to our previous posting
CG holder got a divorce notice while I was abroad
After we got married I got a conditional greencard after my US citizen husband. Lived together 6 month in thhe States. We went through some really tough times and because of family affairs I had to go back to my home country (unfortunately my father got sick and passed away) I was working and studying at home and went back to the US after 9 month I reentered the country, had a tough time at customs...but after I left for xmas vacation and to finish school I got a divorce notice. (I haven't signed it yet) We had some problems but never realized it got out of hand so much, I want to talk to my husband in person.
Can I enter the States again if my CG is still valid? Is there any possibility that I can appply to remove conditions from my greencard??
I was not working or studying in the US before, we got married after 2 years in my home country in good faith, but I dont really know how to prove it.

Yes you can enter the US again if your green card is not expired and you left the US less than 1 year ago.
Divorce with Temporary Green Card
Hi All
I am in the process of getting divorce it will be finalized within a month. I married my husband September 2011. I got my green card January 2012. It will be expired January 2014. He had a court case pending which I had no idea the extend of what it was for. I found out it was a Sexual Misconduct case against a minor and he now have to be registered as a sex offender. However, he lied and brought me here under different circumstances. On top of all of this he was cheating and i have proof of emails, phone calls. What do I do next? I sold everything at home and move here. Also is family steal from me went as far as stealing our wedding rings and pawning it. I have proof of this as well.
