Change Of Address Problem

[adamk 0]

So i have been married for just over 2 years. I am from England and she (my sponsor) is American.

We split around 6 months ago and now live seperatly.

My problem -

We will be getting divorced in a month or two (i did not see sense in rushing it) she ended but it should be a streight forward divorce on the grounds of irreconcilable differences but i have a few problems.

I never did any of the paperwork for the process, she did it all including our change of addresses. I moved out of our apartment in Oct 07 to a new place on my own and then moved again on may 1st. so i have 2 changes of address but i never knew that i had to file with immigration for change of address. I feel so stupid as its an obvious thing i should have known but i just never thought of it. So now i am stuck. i have to change my address but i am afraid of what will happen if they find out that i never changed it the first time.

I know that my marriage is over but i do not want to leave. I have made a life and a career for myself over the last few years and i want to keep that going.

I just dont know what to do next?

I know i have to tell them my new address but i also cant have her fill in the I-865 as she no longer supports me and she does not live with me!!!!

Any help out there????????????????????

Thanks

What is your current status? 2 year greencard? what? You need to fil out an AR11 for address change each time you move but at least do it for the last move. If you are making enough money - you could self-sponsor - and remove conditions on your own (you would need the divorce decree to do this). Good Luck

Even after your divorce is final, USCIS will still consider your wife as your sponsor as far as the I-864 is concerned. The only way your wife will be "free" of any of the I-864 responsibilities is if you, the immigrant spouse:

1. leaves the US for good;

2. becomes a US citizen; or

3. dies

As to your AR11, just go ahead and send it in for your current address. Not sure if there is a need to send in one for the previous address you moved it but I would say don't send that old one anymore as it might just confuse the system. I hope someone more knowledgeable would chime in.

You need to straight up some issues:

1. Do you have a conditional green card? I assumed you do.

2. File first for your change of address..your current one.

3. You still are able to remove the conditions by yourself...but you must demostrate that you marry in good faith...this is the part that I don't understand how people let others do the entire paperwork...is YOUR paperwork not hers. So I don't know, you will have to go to talk to her and let her know that you need to get those papers, bills and all kind of things...if you need to call your bill companies you will have to do it and see if they can give previous statements or if you can get them online. Remember you need proof and evidence, and that is in papers not in words.

4. Get your previous tax returns or tax transcriptions.

5. Do you own property? house, condo, boat, car?

6. Remember that ALL that takes time, and your divorce EVEN if its straight forward will take at least 2 months in court.

7. Once your divorce is final and you get your divorce decree you don't have to wait to file 90 days before your expiration date of your conditional card, you can file (and should) at any time.

It does not matter who started the divorce...the important thing is that you are the one who must demostrate that you entered that marriage in good faith and not to skip the immigration laws, regarless how good resident you are.

Good luck!
