Removing a TD Visa

I am I TN holder and my wife is a TD holder, just renewed. I am Canadian and she is Mexican. We are divorcing and as her TD is dependant on my TN, I would like to remove my sponsorship and responsibility. I have heard that a letter to USCIS can withdraw her TD, but I have not been able to find anything to that effect on line.

Any help is appreciated.
 
What "sponsorship" or "responsibility" are you referring to? How does whether she stays in the US or not affect you in any way?
 
Once you are divorced she is no longer your dependent and will automatically lose derivative status.

Besides letting it lapse due to a divorce? No other way? I have been told (by a friend) that a letter to USCIS will remove her status. Is there anything to this?
Any idea where I can read up on this?
 
I don’t understand why it’s an issue tbh. Write a letter if you want but I’m not sure “planning to divorce” is a reason to revoke an existing visa. Why are you so keen to get her out of status?

I am not sure why there are questions about my "Keenness", I have my reasons. I didn't feel the need to display them here.
I really was asking for guidance from members who know how the process works. If anyone can help with information it would be appreciated.
 
Like you've already been informed, planning to divorce is not enough ground to get a derivative's status revoked. Proceed with your divorce, your spouse, upon becoming an ex-spouse automatically looses their derivative status. That is how the process works.

Thank you. I saw the reply, I was asking if there is a fast route that can be taken, thats all.
Thank you again.
 
Once you are divorced, she is a stranger to you. Why is it your business whether she stays or goes? That's between her and the government.
 
it’s kind of cute to think anything fast happens with uscis, or that they will just take action that severe because of a letter without giving the person concerned a chance to respond to intent to revoke even if they think it’s grounds to revoke status. Otherwise anyone with a grudge could make up stuff and send it to uscis. At present there seems to be no evidence that the person is breaking the terms of their visa so no grounds to revoke anyway. But if you do decide to write a letter please keep us posted on developments.

Well, we agree there. It is an oxymoron, fast - government.
I do have grounds, I think, but as has been stated, if the requirements are a US Visa (in the passport) and being legally married. She does meet those requirements. We are legally separated, divorce has been filed, I thought that legally separated was enough. Maybe not. As a TD holder, she is not permitted to work, if she decides to work anyway and is caught, I don't want it to reflect on me as we no longer make decisions together. If she commits a crime, I do not want that to reflect on me.
I am pursuing a path to Green Card and citizenship, and I generally try to inform myself of the laws, requirements, benefits and consequences, but in this case I cannot find any literature that addresses this specific situation. A TN and TD that have split up. As government agencies love to create very large documents, I reached out to see if anyone else knew where I should look specifically for information that would help me understand.

Nothing she does “reflects” on you unless you are actively assisting in an illegal activity.
And the law, quite simply, is that you are married until you are divorced. The only instance i can think of where the ”degree” of marriage matters is when someone is filing for citizenship using the timing shortcut of being married to a US citizen.

Ok, thanks. That, in itself is a relief.
