CR-1, if issued, will provide you with a greencard (usually temp, you get the permanent one once in the states). However, if you get a divorce prior to the issuance of the visa, that probably will cancel the visa (since you need to be married)

Perhaps you can work it out with your wife when you get to the states?

Or, if you believe divorce is the only answer, you may want to consider to stay in your country.

My Advice is usually based on "Worst Case Scenario" and what is written in the rules/laws/instructions. That is the way I roll... -Protect your Status - file before your I-94 expires.

If you get divorced, what's the point of coming to the US? You won't have a wife or a home waiting for you here.

I can understand when someone has spent some time here with their US citizen spouse, and they've built a life for themselves here. When the marriage breaks up they don't want to throw away that life and start over again in their home country.

I DON'T understand when someone hasn't even come to the US yet, and their relationship is falling apart, and they seem more concerned with how it will affect their chances to come and stay in the US. I can't help but feel that immigration to the US was the primary motive for the relationship.

I hope you can understand this, ken. Your question makes it sound like you scammed your wife for a visa and a green card, and now you're afraid you aren't going to get it. Most people would think you'd only be concerned about your marriage falling apart.

go get that visa, then you can figure out what is going on between you and your wife.

if you enter usa before 12/12/09 you will have a conditional GC. If your marriage does not last, you may likely lose this conditional GC 2 years later.

CR-1 Timeline

March'07 NOA1 date, case transferred to CSC

June'07 NOA2 per USCIS website!

Waiver I-751 timeline

July'09 Check cashed.

Jan'10 10 year GC received.
