Hello everybody, I have two years green card conditional based on marriage of us citizen cr1, my question is now I travelled back to my home country and I divorced her there and got my divorce certificate with me, my green card still valid for one more year, I do understand that after the year pass I can not renew it based on the fact that I divorced her, but my question is now I have been away in my country for a month and plan to get back to the us to take care of some property, when I return to the us will they stop me in the in the airport and not let me in cause we got divorced? or as long as my green card still valid that doesn't matter? does the divorce stop the two years conditional green card and wont allow u in at the airport? I got the divorce stamped in the us embassy to be used in the us for her.

I would appreciate your help letting me know very much. thank you very much

Hi,

Do you realize that you can only file for divorce where you claim residency? If you were granted a divorce in India without your wife's involvement, then you created a mess for yourself.

You should have no problem in getting into the US. You MUST file for ROC upon divorce. The 2 years validity on your green card is conditional on your marriage.

Best of luck.
