"It doesn't affect your path to citizenship at all".

Can I get annulment? 

What I mean is that being divorced doesn't affect your path to citizenship-----being annuled isn't going to make any difference.  Why get an annulment if you are already legally divorced?

If it's a "divorced woman" stigma issue you are concerned about---in the US there is not the same stigma over a woman being divorced as there would be in India.

Hi Everyone,

 

First of all please apologize me if my English grammar is bad. Thank You!

 

I am Indian and I was married to USA citizen(Indian) and he sponsored me Green Card. We were married in Feb 2012 and I came to USA Dec2012. Within few months everything went wrong and he and his parents started complaining that I was not good enough. We didn't have any intimate relationship. He threatened me and my family about Divorce and sent me back to India and started Divorce process.I don't know what to do and I came running back to USA to save my marriage. After I came, he never let me inside the house and I have to stay in neighbor's house. Luckily his Uncle and Aunt lives in Detroit, Michigan they requested my husband to send me to their place and they said they will resolve the issue. So my husband booked flight ticket to Detroit and send me to Michigan. I went to Michigan and started living in his Uncle and Aunt's house. They tried to resolve the issue but he(Husband) and my In-Laws were stubborn and filed for divorce. I was so innocent and I don't know what to do. His Aunt is really nice, she tried to solve the problem and helped to reconcile the relationship but it didn't work. He threatened me that I should sign the divorce papers or else there is a law that if I don't sign the papers there is voluntarily divorce that he can be approved. So I signed the papers in front of his Uncle and Aunt. After that I stayed little while with his uncle and Aunt and they helped me build my life.They encouraged me to apply school and start education so that I can stand on myself and lead my life. I joined school and started working in small store. So after 2 years I applied for Removing conditions for Green Card and I am successfully approved. Now I am near to apply US Citizenship so I have few questions so please help me. I never got married afterwards the divorce and was busy structuring my life. He married another girl with in a year. My question is he filed for Divorce and I didn't know anything about it much when I was signing papers. We never had intimate relationship(no sex (Indian Marriage)) - He came to marry me to India and everything happened in 20days and he left for USA afterwards. I came to USA after 10months(visa approval) and after coming here the fights started for silly things. His parents used to live with us and they always involve in small issues too. Whatever it is, happened is happened!!! Now I want to apply USA citizenship but before I want to get rid of this stupid thing from my life. Can I apply annulment because the marriage was never consumed? does it affect the USA citizenship? Please help me. I don't like to be called a Divorcee!!!! What did I do in Life? being nice made me call Divorcee. I want annulment so that I want to stay single and not married. Please help me.

Any questions further please reply me.

Not sure if you can change a divorce into an annulment, I doubt it but I would perhaps look online for free legal advice if that is what you feel you need to do. I understand it is probably a stigma, not here but in India and perhaps it affects your relationships with friends and relatives in India, or prospective future husbands. Only you know the reason for why you wish to have one.  Secondly there is no reason why you can't go for citizenship divorced, annulled etc, as long as you have waited five years from the start of your conditional green card date. It's three years from that date when you're married and five years if you are divorced.  Good luck with whatever you choose to do and I'm sure things will get better for you, you just have to believe they will.

As a matter of law I don't think you can file for an annulment after already getting divorced. 

 

The time to do that would have been before agreeing to the divorce, not after. 

 

Move on with your life. It sounds like you're better off anyway.
