hi ,

I have some general question regarding US Citizenship.

I got two years of green card through marriage then i got 10 year of green card after two years of marriage, now me and my wife are not having good relationship we have fight everyday. like she is giving me very hard time her family involvement is too much , now its hard for me to tolerate. i loved her too much but now she is listen only her parents and she don't let me work properly always asking me for the money , her parents trying to hit me once also . i did everything to save our wedding but now its too hard for me to live with her. she is always asking me the money and she is not working as well .

i am thinking to file divorce so i have some questions which i want to clear :

1) is there is any possibility of my green card got canceled ?

2)during neutralization will USCIS give me hard time during my citizenship interview.

thanks

You can get divorced and it won't affect your application based on 5 years of permanent residency.

Whether you are divorced or not, since you got your green card through marriage, they may ask questions to make sure that you got your green card based on a legitimate relationship. You don't need to be married to naturalize after 5 years, but you should be able to prove that you didn't marry just for the green card (similar to what you did during removal of conditions).

Wait. What? Her parents trying to hit you? Get that documented. Or at least have names of witnesses if you ever need this later.

I took it as hit as in get money.

I doubt he meant the colloquial "hit up". This sounds like domestic violence.

Please see my answer and the other answers above, but in short:

Will you lose your green card?

No, you won't lose your green card because of the divorce. You can lose your green card if you commit a serious crime.

Will the divorce affect your citizenship?

No, as long as you can demonstrate (if asked) that you didn't get married just to get a green card.
