Capri thank you for explaining me so well!.. I'm still on the house but can't get any documents because she even took the toilet paper with her.... I'm so embarrassed for this.. I will get all documents from my lawyer he has them all..

She wants to keep the house so to make this divorce go faster I will grant her the house and all furnitures.. Even my dog :( my poor Mickey golden retriever .. I don't want him locked in an apartment that's why I'm leaving him too. :(

The only thing that will affect you getting/keeping a GC is domestic violence.

Youre free to handle your divorce any way you wish. If you want to give your wife everything, then go ahead. But I really do suggest you take some time and evaluate things. Do not let your spouse 'bully' you into giving up everything that youve spent that last X amount of years building together because you 'fear for your status' when in reality there is NO THREAT to your status.

Once a divorce is final thats it. Theres no going back and altering it. If you agree to pay her X amount a month for X number of years in alimony- you cant change it. If you agree to give her the house and certain possessions, they are hers forever. If you sign off that you committed adultery (which means you had an extra marital affair -ie sexual relations outside of the marriage- much more then a lunch date-) That will follow you around forever. (If you get remarried they will want to see proof youre divorced, sure the clerk wont care, but your new fiance might be like ####### you were divorced because of adultery?)

I don't want to get into the little details of your relationship with your wife as it really doesn't matter why your marriage ultimately failed.

What matters is that you can file for Removal of Conditions on your own. You do this once your divorce is final or once the expiration of your Green Card comes darn close, I'd say not later than 10 days before it expires is good policy.

The USCIS will accept your I-751 with a waiver, but it can't be adjudicated until your divorce is final.

In order to get your 10-year Green Card, you will have to show that you entered the marriage in good faith. That's pretty much what you would have to do even if you were not aiming for divorce, so in plain English you'll have to show that you lived together with your wife like a normal married couple until things went sour. If that's the case, you should be able to prove this.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

You should change your address. Government mail is not supposed to be forwarded or held (but sometimes they do anyway)

^agreed.

Youre saying conflicting things here.

First you say USPS (the post office) is holding your mail and if you should continue to go pick it up every few weeks. The answer to that is no. You can only have the post office hold the mail for 30 days.

Then you say the manager is a friend and neighbor and has agreed to get your mail from your mail box for the next 2-3 months. Absolutely not. Although you can give somebody permission to retrieve your mail, your treading on shaky legal grounds. Removing someones mail from their mailbox is a crime. Because of the fact that youre going through a divorce and there are other issues, theres no reason to create more problems and involve your neighbor/manager in this. (if your spouse or someone else sees her removing the mail they can report her and then what? you just created a mess when theres no need to)

So have the mail held at the post office for 30 days if you need it and then officially change your address with the post office. You also need to send in the form to change your address with immigration.
