God's Blessings On All,

Well sometimes things don't turn out as you expect. Shely and I are on the brink of divorce. Who would have guessed. We've been married since Nov. 09 2006 and already calling an end possibly to it. With God All Things Are Possible so perhaps it won't happen. Pray for us. Shely has gotten her green card, new car, job so what can be wrong. Ah! somethings are just too personal to talk about. Well, is there anyone who can advise us about what we need to do concerning the USCIS if anything. How long can Shely stand in USA after divorce? What papers need to be filed other than divorce papers? Any advice will be deeply by both of us. We still wish the very best for each other in this world. Wish I could share our problem with you but some things are just too personal. God's Blessings On All!!!

Joyful and Thankful,

Shely and Carmine

p.s. Jim, sometimes it's hard to understand God's Plan

Divorce should not interfere with her ability to remain in the USA, if the marriage was genuine. She'll need bona fides to present with her waiver I-751 if you do divorce. Make sure she has copies of joint bank accounts, tax returns, insurance, bills for the time youbare residing together.

Sorry to hear that, Carmine. I too would strongly recommend counseling if she is willing to. Even if she isn't, I'd recommend going by yourself. It's obvious that you sincerely wanted to have a lasting marriage. Hang in there. With God, there is a purpose and reason for everything.

Peace,

Steven

Hope you get things worked out...

Sometimes adjusting to a new life can be difficult. Talk a lot and try to sort problems out... If there is love, then there is still a chance...

Good luck...

Have you considered couple's therapy? Less than one year marriage ending in divorce... there must be another solution... or at least an attempt to solve it...

Why would she want to stay in the US after the divorce? If Idivorced my husband the first thing I would do would be to go home to my family, my country, my people.

What is the point of staying here on one's own?

The others have offered some very good advice, if you can get couple counciling and try to work it out. The first year of marriage is very rough, not like we all dream of sometimes but if you can get past this hopefully you can make your marriage even stronger. Plus the immigration process sure can be hard on us vs. normal couples who had enough to deal with. I am praying for you that you two can work it out and come out of this with a better marriage. But if you can't get your wife to work on the marriage make sure you look out for yourself and do what is best for you so you can get on with your life.

Best of Luck and God Bless you,

Paula

Good luck, but I have a feeling I know what's going on here after reading your story, seeing your age, and reading your original post. Sounds like she got what she wanted, and it's time for her to move one. If she has any love for you, and given how much you say you love her, maybe there's a chance to work things out. Sorry to hear about your problems.

Good luck...

These are words of wisdom...adjustment is a difficult process for both parties and may seem like there is no way out and separation is the only remedy....but I believe that with God's help and open communication...where love is present things can be salvaged and a marriage can be saved...best of luck...

P.S. Jim, sometimes it's hard to understand God's plan.

The only immigration related matter you need to worry about after the divorce is the I-864 (Affidavit of Support) you filed.

She needs to worry about everything else.

Well, typical MOB......I tell you, everyone has to be careful about the women from high fraud nations..I'm sure she won't want to go back to her country...she has her GC now, what more would she want? I'm sorry this happened to you, dude..really am...no one deserves that..
