Conditional Permanent Residency

[Bambi 0]

Needs help!

Can I stay in the US if I leave my husband or file a divorce even I am still a conditional resident? I can not take his attitude, the way he treated me, I can not access money as in I am just a helper to him not a wife? No decisions coming from me and the worst is the picture of his Ex wife still hanging on the wall - and he says violent words! Thanks

Yes. You will need to get a divorce before you can remove conditions. (I am assuming that you have your greencard based on AOS already, since your post is in Removal of Conditions). Do a search in this forum - you will see lots of posts about this and what people did. Good Luck

You do not have to wait until within 90 days of card expiration to file the I-751, you can do it as soon as your divorce is final and you have divorce decree.

Filing after Divorce or Annulment

A conditional permanent resident with a marriage that was terminated due to divorce or annulment must file for a waiver of the requirement of the joint filing of Form I-751. To obtain an approval of the I-751 and be granted unconditional lawful permanent resident status, the conditional permanent resident spouse must be able to show that s/he entered into the marriage in good faith.

The person seeking permanent resident status should expect to undergo an interview at the USCIS about the marriage. The USCIS will closely scrutinize whether the marriage was bona fide at its inception. The USCIS will review the divorce decree and complaint for matters that may be reflective of whether the marriage was entered into purely for immigration purposes or to perpetrate fraud against the United States citizen spouse or the USCIS.
