Possible? -- Spouse still sponsors after divorce

[WaitingInDallas]

Hi guys,

I come to ask help for a friend of mine who married to a USC about a year ago and current under a conditional GC.

There are some problems in their marriage that they couldn't work out. They are separated and discuss divorce on a daily basis right now. But they are still friends. The wife is very nice. She agreed to still sponsor his GC and will file with him to remove the condition even after the divorce. They do have joint account, 401K and insurance together and stuff like that. She agreed to keep all the document the way it is. Without marriage certificate, even with other proofs, can she still sponsor his GC?

Thanks for any info.

What do you mean without a marriage certificate? They were married at a point, and got one.

Technically, yes, she can sponsor him but depending on the evidence they submit they may be called for an interview to inquire about their life together and bona fide marriage... are they going to lie and say they are a happily married couple?

If they divorce, they wouldn't have that marriage license any more. That's what I meant. I know it's a bit confusing.
