If you are applying for naturalization based on marriage, your marriage needs to be healthy. If you are considering getting divorced, that is not the case. Filing an N-400 under such circumstances under the pretense everything is okay would be a clear-cut case of fraud, which is a felony.

If your the ex-wife at any time feels you are a son of a b*tch and notifies USCIS about what you did, your naturalization will be declared void and you'll be on an airplane to your old home country in no time unable to ever come back.

Is this really worth it to you?

Not even sure with a healthy marriage if applying for that marriage privilege was worth the huge extra effort. Wife still has to maintain her foreign passport to visit her mom, and they still screwed us out of another 1,500 bucks plus a lot of extra effort to get it. Bunch of chasing around in Bogota, wouldn't let us apply, forced us to go through notaries, what we call attorneys here to process the paper work we already had the originals of. They really robbed up blind. Then more chasing around all over Chicago to get the passport.

RFE's are most common with marriage applications, friend waited an extra 15 months because of a lack of a joint utility bill, don't even need that for the five year.

Doesn't take your ex to report you, divorce cases are open court records, one only need to get on the internet to learn all about that. Read recently, over 5,000 citizenship cases are going to court with deportation as the penalty. Do you really want to risk this to save a couple of years that really don't make that much difference? Do you have a fairly fresh ten year green card? Only responsibility is to keep track of your moving, can do that with the AR-11 on line now. Only takes a couple of minutes.

Would avoid marrying somebody from your home country.
