Separation Date on a Divorce decree

[gpayton 0]

I got married in March of 2007 and got divorced in April 2011, looks like the date entered for separation on the divorce decree is June 1 of 2009 ( my ex wife must have entered it incorrectly at the time) The real approximate separation date should have been June 1 2010 . I applied to remove conditions on my green card on September 2009, so on paper it looks like i applied after separation with all the documents showing we are still together. Now I am applying for citizenship and concerned about getting questions about this date issue. Should i go back to the court and request an amendment for the date, would that be possible ? or should i just go through with the citizenship application and respond to them if they do ask questions ? (my ex wife agrees date should be 2010)

What matters is when you got divorced. And in order to prove, you only have your documents to submit and Uscis relies on them. And yes, the dates affect your citizenship case. Also, you are Inelligible to apply based on marriage, if you are already divorced or got divorced while your naturalization is pending.

My application will be on a 5 yr rule, my question is, since the separation date on the divorce decree is earlier than the date i applied to remove conditions on my green card, would i have issues with that on the interview? we don't have a problem with divorce date since it is well after all those dates.

Technically you were together when you filed and got separated during the ROC process. Since ROC's usually don't have interviews, your case got approved based on your initial application and then came the divorce. My common sense says, you should be OK. You never know, it may not even come up during the interview since you are applying under the marriage rule. At this point, they want to see if you are eligible under the five year rule and have a spouse or children who would benefit from your citizenship. Good luck!
