[rocky1 0]

Hi guys, I am new here. I am ready to file for citizenship after 5 years of being a resident. I got my green card through my ex-wife, we were married from December 2005, divorced September 2010, removal of conditions Oct 2009. My question is as follows after reading another post, Should I expect more excrutiny than normal because of our marriage ending about a year after I got the 10 years card? If so what should I prepare for? Thanks in advance, Jr

I think as long as you've been a steady tax-paying, law abiding resident of moral of 5 years you'll be find. You are filing on the basis of the 5 years, no?

Since you are applying based on the five-year rule you will be 'judged' on your own doings. Make sure there is nothing wrong or missing with your tax returns. The interviewer may bring up the subject of your divorce, but that should have no impact on the final decision. The divorce rate in the US is 50% so your situation is not all that unique.

Good luck!
