Concerning a visa cancellation?

[sf1973 0]

Hello all.

First, I would like to thank the people at VJ for providing a good source of information and help to the great many of us out there. Thanks to all who remain here to offer some guidance to those of us who choose this route.

Now getting back on topic, I have a question. My wife and I chose to take the CR-1 route, which was completed. Unfortunately, we've had myriad problems in our marriage and relationship which can't really be resolved. I've given the situation a lot of thought and as much as it pains me to take the step, divorce is the best option for us at this point. She states that she doesn't care if it happens, but since she has her visa, I'm curious how a divorce would affect that.

When I file for divorce, should I contact one of the immigration offices or embassy? If we divorce, is the visa still valid since the only thing preventing her from coming is a plane ticket? I'm assuming that when I file for divorce it will be invalid? Essentially what it boils down to is that I would not like it for her to come here and reside with me after the divorce is completed.

Any advice would be very appreciated other than suggesting we work things out since I've tried to resolve things over and over. Thank you for reading.

How long have you been married?

Is your wife already in the US? It is not clear from your post (that and I need more coffee)

No, Len, she isn't yet here in the U.S. Apologies for any haziness in my post.

No worries.

The visa has indeed been granted and it is hers. However, I am not sure what would happen if you guys divorce before she activates it. If she used it and came over, she would have a hell of a time trying to remove conditions later on I would think.

I hope someone else chips in wiser advise. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

The only thing that stands between her and heading to the U.S. is a plane ticket. She'd have no trouble at the POE unless you alert immigration, I'm guessing. Is this parting of ways amicable? Have you filed for divorce already? Or are you planning to? How long have you guys been married? If you don't want her living with you and she doesn't have close friends/family either, then there is no practical sense in her entering the U.S., is there? Where would she live? So is she still planning on using the conditional GC to enter the States? What do you want to happen? What does she want?

Sorry if my questions seem nosy.
