Divorce-Conditional Green Card

[AA100 19]

Hi VJ members,

I came to US last year. Me and my wife are having some problems and she wants to divorce me. Before coming to US I had a good job and was living a comfortable life. I was able to secure a good job as soon as I got to the US. So financially I am stable. I would like to know if there is anyway I could stay in US or I would have to leave the US once my conditional green card expires which is end of next year.

Thanks

When the divorce is complete, or in your 90 day window, file for your ROC (removal of conditions) checking the divorced block. You'll want to start gathering up all your evidence of a bonafide marriage now. Look over the ROC guide on here for types of evidence you will need. Many people have failed marriages and remove conditions after divorce.

If you can prove that you entered the marriage in good faith, you will be allowed to remove the conditions and get your 10-year green card. Divorcing after a short time may raise more doubt about your intentions, but it is by no means an absolute bar. You should collect the evidence (principally that you lived with your wife and combined your finances) in preparation for the removal of conditions. If you divorce, you will file with a divorce waiver. USCIS does understand that people with the best of intentions do not make the marriage work for even two years, but they will not just take your word for it - you have to prove it.
