Divorce before removal of conditional GC

[Greg123 0]

Just asking if anyone can give me advice here;

Married to a USC wife over a year now, AOS interview approved, received conditional GC last Sept this year and my card expires on 2009.

Wife unfaithful, confessed having an affair with another guy, marriage is no longer working....

Divorce is on its way.. Am I still legal to stay and work here after divorce?

If yes, can I just keep the divorce decree and file a petition with waiver when my card expires on 2009?

or file a petition with waiver after I received the divorce decree?

I heard different advices, so please somebody tell what is the best thing to do.

Thanks!

I'm sort of on the other side of that coin at the moment - I sponsored someone who got here and won't work or help to support his son or the home...you sound like a nice guy - funny how we end up with people that hurt us.

From what I researched, the easiest way to stay is if someone else sponsors you while you are still in conditional status. At least that is what my attorney advised we suggest to my ex if he wants to stay in the States because despite everything, if we can find a way to at least be friends, I would like for him to be able to stay in the States and be a father to our son. I just cannot handle being responsible for him as well as supporting our son and home by myself...financially, I am about at my wits' end...

I hope this helps.

I think you can remove conditions on your own if you divorce before the conditional card expires.

Yes, you have legal status until your conditional green card expires, or until the date provided on the receipt you will receive once you apply to remove conditions. There's no requirement to file the waiver immediately upon divorce, but an alien who has recently divorced and has already a decree in hand cannot acquire more evidences of a bona fide marriage once the marriage has terminated and therefore there's no point in delaying the application until 90 days prior to the greencard expiry date.

From what I researched, the easiest way to stay is if someone else sponsors you while you are still in conditional status.

This is entirely incorrect for the specific circumstance that Greg123 is querying.

I'm too on the other side, this is a good place for really good advice. I spoke with an immugration interviwer and she stated that the only way the immugrant could remove conditions sucessfully was to prove you were in it for real and it was the non-immugrant that messed up. I suggest you get evidence, that is what they told me. Not just wom but concrete evidence. Good luck
