I'm looking to possible file for divorce. We have been married for two years. Living together since April 2017, separated since Oct 2017. We have no joint accounts, lease no nothing. Does this affect his citizenship when he goes for his green card interview? I'm not sure what to do

If you aren't living together anymore, do you think he was just trying to use you for immigration purposes?

Don't stress yourself unnecessarily please. A lot of people are experts at deceiving others for immigration purposes. Some aren't and are good people, but there are many who know how to play the game. Follow your gut check instincts as it will never lead you wrong.

Women can have a tendency to reason away things right in front of their eyes as they are more emotional creatures than men. Follow your instincts.

I guess I would worry more with the divorce than on your husband’s future immigration activities.  If you have material evidence that he was using you for immigration purposes, then I think you can notify USCIS, but other than that, the rest is up to him.

 

Sorry about the marriage dissolving.

Your still finally responsibly responsible for him for 10 years or until he becomes a US Citizen which will take 5 years if separated and he goes through with that Process. It sounds like your trying to figure out what your still responsible. He can also most likely remove conditions without which would be the next step if he is still here and u both are separated/divorced.

She can report him if she wants. The two years are there before conditions are removed to see how the relationship goes. He's not definitively here to stay.

This is the part I'm worried about. I don't want to be financially responsible for him. I'm not sure how he can keep his GC if we have no joint accounts, lease or anything together

When he files for ROC he can also complete a divorce waiver.  Joint evidence will not be required because he will show you divorced.  He will tell them the marriage didn't work out and he now is divorced with separate accounts, lease, etc.

 

Use the advance search tool.  There are all kinds of prior posts about this:

If you can both agree a dissolution of marriage may be an option

Either way you're going to be financially on the hook for a very long time.  That's the consequences of marrying a foreigner and sponsoring them.
