Hi all,

 

My husband and I got married about 4 years ago (after being in a relationship for 10 years) in our home country. Husband got transfered for work (L1) and I came with him (L2). His company sponosred his Green Card about two years ago and I went through process with him, so we both have our 10 year GCs now. Unfortunately we separated last year and we're getting a divorce. I don't anticipate any drama / issues with divorce (it's amicable and no fault). We are getting the divorce in our home country (faster, less complicated, cheaper than in US). 

 

I was wondering what do I need to do regarding my immigration status... send USCIS the (translated) divorce decree? Anything else? Is there any possibility that even though I have my 10 year GC I'm still somehow bound to my husband? Are there any other reprocussions?

 

Thanks!

Except for updating your address Ar-11 on USCIS.gov if you moved there's nothing else for you to do.

Agreed. There's no requirement to tell USCIS when you marry or divorce....your current status is not bound by a marriage. If you ever go for citizenship, you just need to disclose the information at that time.
