During i751 If you file for divorce and move out, are you allowed to have a relationship with someone else?

I filed joint i751 with my ex. He was cheating on me and I filed for divorce and moved out. I met someone else who I want to be in a relationship with. Would that affect my application?

Did you inform USCIS of the divorce?

Did you file change of address (AR-11)?  This must be done within 10 days of moving.

You're free to date other people, nobody can stop you. Quick switch to a new partner can hurt your case, of course. There may be a question whether your marriage was bonafide.

 

How long did you marriage last?

How much evidence of comingling finances and living together in marital union do you have?

Ok, but you gotta make sure your I-751 is not approved on the wrong premise of adjudicator thinking you're still married. This will lead to complications during naturalization.

 

When is your divorce going to be finalized?
