i can def do 401k i have been doing it...

Wow, had no clue about this! Thanks for letting me know. I signed up and it said this " You have 32 of 40 work credits you need to receive Retirement benefits." Okay so, I'm not there just yet, but....does that mean I cannot do my 401k?? Because for the first time in my job history I've started a 401k with my part time job earlier this year.

Yeah we've both worked. And still do now. Not sure what you mean by social security credits?

Thanks for everyone replying! I've one more question. I am currently with my new partner and we do want to marry shortly after getting divorced with m current spouse. Would that raise any suspicious or am I overthinking since I already have the ten year green card, can get citizenship and obviously my new marriage wouldn't benefit me in any way (just in case they get suspicious, idk? they must be other people that have done this) Also, would it be better to divorce, then get my citizenship and then re-marry, or it doesn't matter and i can divorce, re-marry and then get citizenship?

the i 864 is the one that makes him responsible for me financially? and once i get my citizenship, then thats waived yeah?

I don't really remember, where can I find this out? Because I am looking at my green card right now and it says "resident since 2016", and expires in 2029. So...that's more than ten years. So now I'm wondering if this is correct and that is when this permanent one was issued or if that's the date I intiially became a resident with the temporary GC

Thanks for your answers!! Regarding number 2, what happens if I get married to someone else shortly after divorce? Wouldn't the new spouse be responsible for me then, or would it at least wave my then ex spouse from being responsible for me financially?

Hi guys, I got married in 2014 to an American citizen. Almost two years ago I moved out and went to live to another state. I have a ten year green card, and I want to get divorced. I've got a couple of questions, and I really appreciate anyone answering or helping. 1) Since I've the ten year green card, will getting a divorce affect my immigration status at all? Or will I still be able to maintain the green card and apply for citizenship? 2) Will my current spouse have to still be responsible financially for me after we divorce? I've read somewhere that this is the case, but it just doesn't sound right? 3) He will be the one to file from the state he's in, IL, i am in California. I know there is no waiting period in the state of IL but would me being a green card holder as opposed to a US citizen affect any of this? Will it affect the simplicity and time frame of the divorce? We've no kids, no debts, no assets, no properties. Thank you.
