Lifting of Conditions

[reach449 2]

Hello Everyone,

I have read a lot of threads concerning this subject but I thought I would write my own story to explain a little more.

Most all of the threads say that if the non U.S. citizen needs to lift conditions after a divorce, the that main thing is to proove that the marraige was bonefide. Is this an accurate statement?

My wife's best friend has her two year green card and will need to lift conditions in one year. However she has legitimate concerns she might be facing a divorce before then. I will not get into the reasons, except to say that her husband seems to have all of his priorities wrong and puts his wife on the bottom of the "list". This is keeping my wife's best friend it tears and she is worried about her future with her U.S. citizen husband.

She has a good part-time job and has been employed there since she has been in the U.S. They have no joint accounts of any kind, even a utility bill; as her husband refuses to add her to any accounts. I know for sure the marraige was a bonefide marraige and they truly loved each other, however things are going on in the marraige now, that makes her feel very, very insecure in the marraige and she is very concerned about her future with her husband. She loves him dearly, but she feels she is not getting it in return.

If it does come to her divorcing before she has to lift conditions, what can she do to prepare, if anything? What will be the process to lift conditions if she is divorced?

My wife and I want her marraige to work out, but we also want to be there for her if it doesn't. What advice can my wife and I give her in case of the worst?

Any advice would greatly be appreciated..

Thanks Guys and Gals,

The best thing she could do right now to prepare is to document the fact that they share a residence, and commingle funds. Having one's name on accounts is the best way, but it isn't the only way. Have her subscribe toi magazines that are delivered to the marital home, have her get a driver's license with that address. She can ask that she is added to the auto insurance. She could also ask for any bills or correspondence to be sent to her attention at the marital home. She could also pay utility bills with her cheque (even if not a joint account) with the address of service matching the address on her checque....as I said there is more than one way to skin a cat.

Just wanted to add. She would also have to show comigling of social life. So, she should have copies of pictures. Keep invitations/tickets/letters. She can get a document from her doctor where her husband is an emergency contact. If they rent, she can talk to a landloard. So, better to read I-751 forum on VJ.
