Divorse and Citizenship question

[qwertyuiop2010 0]

Hi, everyone, Let me first say that this site has being a tremendous help. Big thanks

to all of you that contribute.

Anyway, my question is, I am eligible for citizenship in February(through marriage).

However i recently filed for divorce, as of last month, my wife and i

decided to work things out. I withdrew the petition for divorce.

So my question is can i still apply for citizenship in February, given that i

filled for divorce.

Again the divorce never went through, i withdrew the petition before the court date.

thanks for any input

Yes, if you plan on shooting someone but then decide not to shoot someone after all, you did not shoot someone.

If you didn't get divorced and still live together with your petitioning spouse when the time comes to file for naturalization, you are good to go.

The divorce was withdrawn. Never happened.

As long as you were in marital union for the three years then that is ok

What is marital union ? - if one goes on a 6 months visit to another country are you still in the relationship that the law requires ?

I would say yes.

The law likes to leave it all grey and mushy to make money for the lawyers as most legislators are lawyers

I would say marital union exists unless you have a court order for separation or a divorce or even a court order saying that one cannot see the other because of domestic violence

In your case where you simply fell out and filed divorce and then withdrew it, I would say that is ok and no termination of the marital union took place

Some people do that on a monthly basis !
