travel and work after divorce

[trees 0]

I read that if a marriage ends in divorce, the persons conditional permanent resident status terminates on the date the divorce becomes final. At that time, the person is no longer a permanent resident of the United States and they become ineligible to work or travel outside the United States, among other consequences. As such, it would be wise to immediately file the Form I-751 as a waiver. In this case the divorce was granted 9 months after the temp green card. So in reality there is a year window to apply to reach the 90 day prior to the 2 years with the temp green card.

If the waiver isn't filed for 9-12 months what consequences does the person face?

If they travel out of the US can they re-enter?

If they are working?

If their employer finds out?

What does USCIS do if they are aware of a divorce and it is at least 8 months since the divorce but still 4 months before the 90 day filing of the 2 years?

No, if someone has the greencard, and they divorce before they remove conditions, that person can file for their own removal of conditions.

Only if they lose the greencard, will they have to leave, and cannot work/travel outside the US.

As soon as the divorce is granted, they can file for removal. They do not have to wait for the 90 days before the expiration of the green card.

1. They should file as soon as the divorce is granted - not wait for the 90 day window.

2. If they have a valid green card, no problems with travel.

3. Same as number 2 - but can work.

4. No matter, valid greencard is good enough to work.

5. again, file now, you do not have to wait.

Thanks for your reply. I wrote about my ex-husband, I know that he will need to remove conditions on his own. I don't know if he plans to file or not - that is his problem to figure out. I just wanted to know if he is currently permitted to come and go as he pleases and continue to work without having filed yet.

Can you please tell us where you have read it?

Hi trees,

Looks like you are really obsessed with your Ex_husband, seeing your earlier post as well this one. Since you are no longer part of his life, don't bother what he does and doesn't it's not your problem. As far financial support is concerned, until unless he asks for it or asks for food stamps you don't need to worry about it. If he doesn't apply for I-751/removal of condition that's his problem and not yours.

After his 2-yr GC expires and he doesn't apply. He will be put in the deportation proceedings. Once he's out of the country he's not your problem at all.

Please don't get me wrong, sorry if I sounded rude, but you are thinking too much about it and not your life, which will affect your life and not his.

Also if he's threat, report in police, have a restraining order issued against him and you will be fine.

Wish you all the best.
