Hello everyone,
I'm reaching out because my conditional green card is set to expire at the end of November.
Unfortunately, my wife and I have made the mutual decision to separate. Since we both reside in Florida and don't have any children together, we've decided to handle the divorce process ourselves to save on expenses.
While our marriage didn't quite reach the two-year mark, we do have a history of four years together. Throughout our relationship, we've built a life that includes:
Shared memories: We have numerous photos from trips we've taken together to various countries with our families and friends.
Financial ties: We share joint bank accounts.
Joint insurance: We are both covered under the same health and car insurance policies.
Continued support: Even recently, after our separation, I accompanied her to an important family event, and we have photos from that occasion as well.
We plan to file for divorce this week, and I understand the process in Florida can take up to five months to finalize. This leads to a couple of important questions I'm hoping you can shed some light on:
Green Card Conditions Removal: If the divorce is not finalized by the time my conditional green card expires, am I still able to proceed with the removal of conditions?
International Travel: Can I travel internationally while my divorce case is still in progress? (for example, I am planing to travel to Uruguay next month to visit family, will I have issues entering back ?)
I'd appreciate any insights or perspectives you might have on my situation.
