Gay marriage - USC spouse pregnant with another man. How to proceed?

[Darnell 8,478]

1,. how long does it take for a divorce to be finalized?

2. what is the fastest way to get divorced?

1. the only human that can answer this is the clerk of the court in which the divorce petition is filed.

2. uscitizen spouse file a petition for divorce, uncontested, with that state's equivalent form of 'waiver to appear' on the respondent.

Remember - this is a 'Immigrate to USA' web portal, with a focus on DIY stuff - Federal Law applies as it's universal across all 50 states.

DIVORCE is a state matter, so that's 50 different states with 50 different sets of laws. INTAKE is done best face to face at the county courthouse, divorce petition, waiver to appear doc, and the fee. That's it.

Divorce and move on like any couple, it does look questionable but uscis is

not going to be aware of the pregnancy unless told

I don't see how this is any different then any other couple who divorced.

They have been married over a year, she has her 2 yr gc and can file with a divorce waiver like any other couple.

Seems quite different to me.

Two women marry because that is supposedly their sexual orientation.

But now it turns out that one woman (at least) was just testing the waters.

Any review officer is going to seriously think that the same sex marriage was not real and was done to help the immigrant, possibly even for money.

Yes, yes . . . I know they might be thinking something like this for male - female marriages that end in divorce; but double the suspicion in this case.

No not different at all.

They were married one cheated.

Now they are divorcing. That is all that will be looked at.

A person being bisexual is a real thing. Whether she cheated with a man or woman really doesn't matter.

GC is not a consolation prize. SO your friend cannot "help" someone to get a GC.

If the relationship is bona fide, then get the right documents.

Your friend can get divorce and the foreign spouse can file ROC on her own but as to whether this whole story seems fishy is up to USCIS.

This is way better TV than "just any other couple who divorced".

With that out of the way there should be no reason that the beneficiary cannot pursue the divorce and file ROC on her own.

The process to do ROC divorced is the same as any other couple, even if the other couple is straight, doesn't have a baby daddy, etc! Doesn't matter they are in a same sex marriage. USCIS can't discriminate because of sexual orientation, gay, straight, bisexual, they treat it all the same.
