Hi,
I have been married for 10yrs now and we did not get to process my citizenship papers mainly because of meager finances as we had three children to cater for from my wifes previous marriage. I have been in the country since 1999 and came in on an F-1 Visa. I still have to complete my college as I have about one and a half years to go. I got married in 2005.
1) What are the legal implications of this situation on employment opportunities as I had been working for the same person for over 7yrs and the business closed recently and now I have to go out and apply formally if I can use that word?
2) We are currently separated with my wife and might be heading for divorce. What implications again is this going to have on me if I attempted to file for citizenship after the divorce? Is it even a viable option?
3)What steps do I take from here to iron this out?
I do know this one is going to be a a tough one and I sure do appreciate any information or direction in this matter. Should I require a lawyer then I know where to come.
