Hello all,

After only a little over a year of marriage, I'm sad to report that we are filing for divorce. We entered the marriage in good faith, and things just didn't work out. I will be moving overseas for a new job opportunity next year and I am okay with surrendering my green card at the embassy when I'm there. Do I need to do anything else in the meantime with the USCIS?

Thanks

Ok that's the surrendering part -- will be happy to do so when it's time. Do I need to notify the USCIS once the divorce is final if I'm still in the US but within my 2-year conditional residency?

You can read through some of this. But I think the answer is no. You were approved before the divorce was finalized. If you were planning on removing conditions, you would have to jump through some hoops. But, read through some of this to get a handle on it for yourself.

Good luck...
