Green cards and citizenship can be revoked at any time if the government finds that fraud was committed during their procurement. If the OP feels comfortable that they did not commit fraud, then they should not worry about the divorce.

i just received my unconditional (10 year) GC yesterday and this is also my first GC since i was stuck in fbi name check for over a year. anyway, i want to get a divorce from my wife (US citizen), we've been married for 2 and a half years but haven't really lived together for almost 8 months now. i prefer our experiences but in the end it just did not work out but we stayed married for all the GC paperwork to go through. about a month ago she drove and took absolutely everything i had, furniture, car, tv, everything i have bought in the last year and the reason i stayed quiet was because of the pending AOS. Well now i just want to get a divorce asap and wanted to see if this would affect my immigration status at all? also, could she revoke my GC status by contacting USCIS? the married was definitely entered in good faith, we went to college together and lived together through most of it.

thank you

If you have a permanenet G.C, I don't think she is able to get your G.C revoked but if its unconditional I really don't know . If you got married for G.C, in that case people like you give our country men and women bad rep all over the world. I hope and pray that things between you and your wife patch up again. Good luck.

the marriage was NOT a fraud, we loved each other very much when we got married, met in college and lived together for 2 years before deciding to tie the knot. i've already been in the US for almost 10 years now, as a student, went here for my undergrad and grad work. the marriage just did not work out, we had our differences and the only thing left to do is get a divorce. i know it will be an ugly divorce, which is why i wanted to make sure that she couldn't do anything to get my unconditional GC revoked.

Why have you waited for divorce until you have your 10-year GC? Technically no one can do anything when you have an unconditional GC, but your wife, as a petitioner can make it messy and if she reports to USCIS, you might be in trouble.

I-130 Timeline with USCIS:

It took 92 days for I-130 to get approved from the filing date

NVC Process of I-130:

It took 78 days to complete the NVC process

Interview Process at The U.S. Embassy

Interview took 223 days from the I-130 filing date. Immigrant Visa was issued right after the interview

In that case I retract my previous statement. Every body here will give you different answers bro! you probably should consult this with a lawyer just to be on the safe side. Good luck.
