Divorce before filing citizenship

[Confusion 1]

I am married to a man I thought was the man of my dreams. Who cheated on me since day one of our married life. However, I wasn't able to prove it till on the day of our 3rd wedding anniversary. I thought I will surprise him with lots of scrumptious foods on the table and secretly inviting his close friends too. We waited till he showed up outside our door step kissing a woman. I was so embarrassed that all visitors saw it too and felt sorry for me.

And so after that I finally decided to call it quits after 4 years of his lies. I just don't understand why some people or a man would pursue you, made you chose between him and your career, made you move to a foreign land just to fool you and step on you over and over.

My question is this, since we're married for 4 years already and maybe next year I might file citizenship will the divorce affect my citizenship? Actually, I don't know really if I will file cause. I don't know what's the major importance of citizenship while I do have the 10 yr green card anyway and can just renew it or file citizenship within the next 5 years perhaps. But I'm wondering what would be the effect of a divorce on filing a citizenship?

Are those websites about do it yourself divorce forms legit? I wonder if someone can enlighten me more about it.

If you are divorced you can file for citizenship at 5 years ( minus 90 day ) or anytime after that

Hi Confusion - I'm so sorry to read about what's happened to you, I can't even begin to imagine how you feel. I'm sure that you'll be better off without him, although it may take time for you to feel that way.

NigeriaOrBust obviously answered your question for you, but I guess your point on taking citizenship as opposed to remaining an LPR is obviously down to yourself and whether you can or want to file the additional necessary paperwork required when you're coming up to your five year anniversary. Personally I'd say wait until you've dealt with your situation in regards to your divorce before you think about making that call so you have some clarity. Regardless I hope everything works out for you. Stay strong.
