Hi, I couldn’t find an answer to my question anywhere!

I’ve been married to my husband since 2012 I got green card then in later in 2017 I became a US Citizen!

we have been having marriage problems and he has been verbally abusive!

I was wondering if I can just get a divorce and move on but then I thought what if my husband doesn’t want a divorce but instead an annulment!!! What would happen to my US Citizenship!???

I read somewhere that annulment can affect people that have green card status!

but I know I’m a US Citizen now!

its just made me a little worried and I thought to ask you that if my husband decided to get an annulment! What would happen to my US Citizenship?

thank you all!

It doesn't matter if he wants an annulment. You divorce him because YOU do not want to be with him anymore. When you file, he can contest it or not. But either way, your divorce is going to move forward.

An annulment would be very difficult after 6 years of marriage. Divorce is easier and won’t affect your status. 

Timeline in brief:

Married: September 27, 2014

I-130 filed: February 5, 2016

NOA1: February 8, 2016 Nebraska

NOA2: July 21, 2016

Interview: December 6, 2016 London

POE: December 19, 2016 Las Vegas

N-400 filed: September 30, 2019

Interview: March 22, 2021 Seattle

Oath: March 22, 2021 COVID-style same-day oath

 

Now a US citizen!

So Citizenship won’t be affected right?

No, it won’t. You can’t lose your citizenship now unless:

 

- you lied to get it in the first place

- you are involved in terrorism against the USA

Married: September 27, 2014

I-130 filed: February 5, 2016

NOA1: February 8, 2016 Nebraska

NOA2: July 21, 2016

On what basis could he file an annulment?

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

I think I was too worried! But I feel a little better after the answers that I’ve gotten here
