Leaving USA on conditional green card

[unknownuser 13]

Some may call me stupid for doing it. But after my wife cheating on me for 8 months since we even before we were married I decided to divorce her and leave the country 3 months ago when I lost my job in the U.S..

Staying and just accepting the situation until receiving the permanent green card is just not worth it. Specially when she started revenge spending all our money.

Even finding a job as a conditional green card holder was a pain. I spent two weeks looking without luck as a software engineer with multiple awards.

This is in sharp contrast with Europe where I can find a job in one day with excellent benefits and 32 paid vacation days per year.
The U.S. work culture is severely outdated..

 

Now I am left with the following questions:

• Are there still P2P investments like LendingClub or Prosper I can invest in from Europe? Since I have a SSN. LendingClub doesn't accept non-U.S. residents, so I was wondering if there was an alternative.
• My U.S. company refuses to send my pay slips and W-2 right now. But apparently I needed to file a 1040-C when leaving the country.
• Are there banks with cashback credit cards I can continue to use as a non-resident? (Even if just for online transactions in USD and getting some cashback)

Sorry to hear your marriage ended and you had difficulty finding work.  

 

W-2 be sent earlier in 2018, so make sure you update your mailing address with that employer.  Honestly, the hassle of reporting future income from Lending club to the IRS in future years, and to pay American credit cards from abroad,  would not be worth it to me.
