Hi Friends. Any words or opinions would be great here! Long story short... I've been with my husband since 2018 and came to the USA with a k1 in 2020. Got married and got the first conditional green card in January 2022.
We applied jointly ROC on November 2023 and it has been pending since then. We separated in August of 2024 and have been living apart since, I moved out of the state as I found a new job. We are still in touch but we are no longer a couple, only married legally, although we do remain friends and have seen each other and I am still in contact with his family.
I know that we could get divorced and switch the petition from jointly to individual; however, since I'm Venezuelan, and with the current political climate, I'm not sure if that's the most prudent thing to do. We are in good terms and in no rush to divorce, but I'm afraid that us living in different states and pretty much having nothing else that ties us together, may be a reason to get the application and deported.
My fear is that the divorce could potentially sabotage this application. I am really unsure on how to proceed here and any advice or suggestions would be deeply appreciated, especially given the timeline as this november will be 2 years since filling... he has no problem going to the interview with me but I would want to be honest and say that we are separated.
If we get divorced, do I have to submit the package all over again and run again all of the timeline? Or could I let this current case take its own course?
