Conditional Residence to Permanenant Resident to Citizen

[jndamd 0]

I am asking this question as I am going through the tough time of my marriage life. Entered in marriage with good faith in 2005 came to US on Conditional Resident in 2006. Applied to remove condition in Feb 2008 and now waiting to get that file processed which filed jointly.

Meanwhile my career is not on good track and also some problems in marriage life and family has disrupted our marriage life; I am trying hard to save my marriage, pursuading spouse to get counselor help for us as i am not earning; but it is not working out. There are not physical relationships between us since 6 months. My spouse cant stand against me, no romance, no healthty talk, nothing. If this is going to remain the same then I want to quit after giving final trial to work this out.

But again, I entered in marriage in good faith, so I still expect that I become permanent resident and then Citizen when I am eligible after 5 years. But I have heard that if you get divorced after you get your permanent resident card (filed jointly) and apply for citizen at 5 years and you will be asked questions regarding how did you get PR card and there might be revokation of your current PR and eventual deportation if u dont have documentation of good faith marriage.

What would you recommend for this?

This does not come up if you wait the 5 years from becoming a permanent resident, (The date your first 2 year green card was approved). Marital relationship evidence comes up only if you apply for citizenship at 3 years of residence based on being married to a US citizen for 3 years. Edited December 22, 2008 by YuAndDan
