My husband in Oklahoma and I are going to divorce. We have been married for 2 years and 3 months. We don't have any properties and kids. We turned in our marriage paper in Japan, and I got a green card three months ago. I am currently in Japan for my job and we have never lived together since we got married.

My questions are, we are going to turn in our divorce paper in Japan. Will it be considered as we are offically divorced in the United States as well?? Or we still have to see a lawyer and finish the process at the court in the U.S.? I learned from the consulate website that in America, there is no divorce by agreement, but since we married in Japan and will divorce in Japan, I don't know if the case applys to us.

My husband talked to a laywer and sent me a paper to get it notarized so I don't have to be in the U.S. when he files for a divorce. Marrying in Japan is considered as we are officially married in the U.S., so I don't see the reason why we have to go through the court to divorce when we are officially divorced in Japan...

I have been reasearching for those but can't find any answers. Anyone knows about this well? Please give me some advice.

Thank you.

I was 17 months in a marriage with my ex husband, no kids, no properties. We got divorce in Europe, place that we got married too. I was doing divorce by myself with his authorization while he was in US. Nobody asked me for my divorce untill I start new application with my husband now. Never see a lawyer in US. Dont worry you are fine.

Thank you for your reply.

What will happen to my green card? Will I lose the right to keep it?? I am planning to get a student visa and go back to the States to finish school, and I heard that it won't be easy to get a student visa after divorcing a U.S. citizen. I am wondering if I still have the right to keep it...

Thank you.
