divorce while waiting for conditional gc

[philipo 5]

Hey guys .

What if I have my work authorization social sec card and I'm waiting for my conditional green card and right at that point in time I get divorced of my wife ( I'm the beneficiary ) what happens ? Do I still get my greencard and later on my 10 year gc or no ?

Please help

It will all depend on a number of factors, say for example, wether your spouse successfully filed i864 on your behalf and never pulled it before you're approved of the green card (conditional). Also assuming your interview was waived otherwise, you might find it difficult to progress... Wishing you the very best!

Nono assume the i864 is fine and everything is already in the uscis office and I have my work authorization card and ssc and even my state id. So basically I'm just waiting for my conditional green card. In this case would it be OK ? So if there would be a divorce right now would there still be a chance I would not get my papers ? It's just informative

Assuming that before your green card is approved your wife successfully pulled the affidavit of support, that will cause a denial per say... Assuming she did not pull the affidavit of support but you are invited for interview and she refused to attend then denial will result... Otherwise, you should be approved...

You're on shaky ground if considering divorce before your green card is issued; as stated above, if your wife pulls her I-864 before the I-485 is adjudicated then your green card will be denied.

You may get your green card, if the I-864 is not pulled and you have no interview. Then the issue is going to come back up when you apply to remove conditions and get your 10 year green card. This can be done even if you're divorced, but explaining away the divorced before the original green card was issued might be a little hard. You intent towards establishing a bonafide marriage is what matters, not her's. But what evidence will you have to show this intent?

It'll be a hard case to prove if you divorce in such a short time. If your marriage is over, you're better off going back home and resuming your life there. Sign the divorce papers, get home and move on.

That's an incredibly short time after marriage to have your marriage dissolve in divorce. It's going to be really hard for you to convince them that this was anything other than a marriage to get a green card. And if your marriage is over, why would you want to stay anyway?

Hey philipo. What happened?

BTW: You live in California? Divorce in CA takes a minimum of 6 months (there's a required 6 month cool-off period).

If you've been involved in this journey you'll understand that so much is involved in moving out of your home country to move here... You may have given up your well paid job and what have you to start your new life here... Also you may not comprehend the emotional and financial involvement while loving and with the intent for an everlasting relationship... You may put yourself in the shoes of the OP and see how it feels...
