DialNoises

They are, well, have been currently staying with family, their stay isnt guaranteed permanent and I am not quite sure of their housing plans at the moment, chance they may keep staying where they are at the moment, but theres no telling if they are coming back to our residence or not and I cant get a clear answer from them as they are still figuring out what they want. They want to be the one working on the divorce papers so I will let them (and review before signing) but it seems like they are taking a good bit. My concern is, should I update the USCIS that we're separated until the divorce is complete? and should I if im uncertain of whats going on?

Thank you for the assurance, And yes this is what I usually do, obsessively, I research pretty hard here at times when I have the battle against the immigration. It was hard then, I've grown older since and it be harder now, but it is what it is!

Considering the circumstances, I will have to step into this without an attorney, I know how important it is to have one, but especially at a time like this and for the future ahead it wont be possible financially. Thats why its important for me to learn how to deal with this myself 😞

Of course new policies showed up at a time like this, I may only fall under 3 or 4 of these criteria, but surely the divorce doesnt help 😞 Thank you for informing me of this, I had no idea, that would be something to be expecting then. Our divorce will be filed at no fault (partner lost romantic interest over the year) so I hope thats one positive I suppose.. So as of right now, before filing for n-400 when the time is ripe, I dont have to inform the USCIS of my martial status once the divorce is complete? (except for possible address change)

From what I understand, they may ask about it whichever I am filing under 5yr (so I understand I can now?) or filing after the 5 year rule, they are still going to ask questions in both times? And what should I be expected to bring just in case? leases? joint accounts? photos? conversations? bank statements? etc?

I should have used my terms correctly, going to edit the main post for this, thanks! And this is terrifying to know, preparing for the first one was a nightmare to go through, making this even more difficult considering theres so much to gather over the past 9 years involving our very involved relationship, after the LPR I started feeling more confident not to keep "documenting" our marriage, after my permanent residency was approved It was freeing to finally be ourselves and be doing this genuinely without the feel that our experiences are needed to be presented in front of the immigration office again to prove we are in a genuine relationship. I just hope I can retrieve some of our documentation like our renting lease from a place weve moved two a few years back (and moved back from.) Or the time I have been saving $31k to purchase them a brand new car with my own money, unfortunately we were only able to put their name under the title because I havent retrieved my full driving license yet. On top of losing someone so important, having to deal with USCIS this way is just something edit: it appears I can no longer edit my post so I will have to let it be

It is unfortunate, I still love them too much and I still look fondly of all of our memories and I cant bear imagining a life where we are no longer together. We have fought extreme battles with the USCIS just to be together and be married and the expenses spent over it werent cheap considering I wasn't exactly well off from the begin with, so that also means I had to go through it without a lawyer as helpful as it would have been. It is sad it had to end this way, almost like a terrible dream I am yet to wake up from. I doubt my spouse will do anything to make my immigration any difficult, but there are always surprises. Most of our intimate and difficult conversations are done in person so that would be a bit difficult to have on record, and we have if not hundred thousand of conversation on messenger that I would hope not going through again to make a collection of screenshot highlights to present to the USCIS as the last time was extremely difficult to go through, suppose thats not very much the perk of being very communicative with your partner, haha.. But thank you for the advice! Things with moving out at the moment are dicey because I've curated my whole lifestyle here in the US around my spouse thinking we'd have a long future ahead of us, and things falling apart just so suddenly puts me in the spot, If im lucky I get to stay in the same place I am at, at the moment. however it is seems as my spouse is staying separated at a different household, unsure of if temporarily or not at the moment. Now that I will be facing the 5yr rule filing, do I now have to face more difficulties during the interview like proving my relationship was bona fide? do I have to bring more than just my divorce decree? should I expect to be looked down on now that I've been gotten divorced under my 5 year residency? Makes things so much difficult because we've been very happy together and I've abandoned everything behind me going forward to the US and I've built everything I have around living here, this is and has been my home now and I have everything here, getting sent back would be absolutely devastating on top of having no where to go anymore (no family) I have to fight to stay here now that things are getting this dicey 😞

Yeah that would be 2026

Why 2028? isnt it 5 years from the day my unconditional card was issued? The issue here on top of it all is that while I can apply for citizenship 3 years after my GC under my marriage, I still havent and I am getting divorced before my 5 years are complete.

Timeline: May 2017 - applied for I-129F Late 2018 - I-129F petition approved, came to the US, got married within the 90days Early 2019 - applied for permanent visa End of 2019 - application got denied (due to incomplete sponsorship documentation) January 2020 - applied for permanent visa January 2021 - Approved (married for 2 years at the time and received a conditional card) Late 2023 - Receive a 10yr permanent residence card (after battle with the US to correct our card and having the governor to step in and have them work on it, no second interview was needed) Speaking as the immigrant. Hi, so in the past year my relationship with my spouse started getting rocky and things gone pretty bad in between us and my spouse finally reached out to me and said they want to end things between us, I havent filed for citizenship yet because this just happened unexpectedly and comfortably still seen a future ahead of us, unfortunately I have to respect my spouse choices and follow through. their decision is final. The question is, what do I do now? Must I notify the USCIS of the divorce? and how? And how does this affect my eligibility to apply for N-400 and what do I have to be worried about? Are there anything else I should be doing or worrying of immigration wise now that the divorce is happening? Thanks for the help!
