My husband is originally a citizen of another country and we were married in March 2007. He received his 2 year GC in Nov. 2007. We are having a lot of marital problems and I want to get a divorce but I need to make sure first that he will still be able to apply for his citizenship if we get a divorce within the next few months. We married for love and I have many documents that proove that we live together and share our lives together. I just need to clarify a few issues:
1. Can I get a divorce at any time or do I have to wait for some specified time period before doing so so as not to hinder my husband's chances of obtaining citizenship?
2. Is it true that once I get my decree of divorce my husband can submit the decree and an I-751 and apply for cititzenship even if it is before the 90 day window (Sept-Nov 2009) ?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
