Citizenship oath and waiting time for divorce

[lifegoeson123 3]

Dear everyone,

 

I got my Citizenship Oath today. My husband wants to file for a divorce since we have unsolvable discrepancies and different life purposes  It is very sad for us but he realized he just wants to be single for the rest of his life, no children, just travel and date multiple women but never remarry. We entered marriage with a good faith. We used to love each other and he is only 5 years older than I am. We both have good jobs and no language barrier.

 

How long should we wait before he files for our divorce ? He thinks it may affect my citizenship because it might look suspicious that I just wait for my citizenship to divorce. I also want to sponsor for my mom and my brother 's family to come to the US right away and live with me because my dad already passed away . The government is going to look at our income tax and documents together.

 

Thanks so much for your advice.

It won't affect anything. You are a citizen. You can file this minute if you want to.

 

There is no right away with immigration. You mom will take about a year or more and your brother will take about 15+ years. Also, keep in mind that in 15+ years if his children are to old (over 21) they may not be able to immigrate because they will be considered adults.

 

Since you are divorcing your husband, they will not look at you and your husband's income together. They will only look at your so you will need to make the requirements to petition for them.

 

Good luck and sorry to hear about your marriage.

Thank you so much ! I am looking for opening a case for my mom (born in 1964) and my brother (born in 1992). He got married and they have a daughter (born in 2018) . I want to sponsor all of them to the US. I start to read the documents now. It is form I-130 only for everyone ?

 

Thanks.

Thanks for your help. I am researching on I-130 for sponsoring them. I filed tax jointly with my husband since 2015 up to now. Hmm, I wonder how the financial sponsor is calculated and submitted.

 

I don't see how much I should make or pay tax to be a sponsor for 4 of them or any information regarding tax return.

I need to make above: 20,000 x 4 people = 80,000/year ? 

 

From I-130: Item Number 10. Total Value of Assets. In order to qualify based on the value of your assets, the total value of your assets must equal at least five times the difference between your total household income and the current Federal Poverty Guidelines for your household size. However, if you are a U.S. citizen and you are sponsoring your spouse or child age 18 years of age or older, the total value of your assets must only be equal to at least three times the difference. If the intending immigrant is a foreign national orphan who will be adopted in the United States after he or she acquires legal permanent residence, and who will, as a result, acquire citizenship under section 320 of the INA, the total value of your assets need only equal the difference.

 

Example of How to Use Assets: If you are petitioning for a parent and the poverty line for your household size is $22,062 and your current income is $18,062, the difference between your current income and the poverty line is $4,000. In order for assets to help you qualify, the combination of your assets, plus the assets of any household member who is signing Form I-864A, plus any available assets of the sponsored immigrant, would have to equal five times this difference (5 x $4,000). In this case, you would meet the income requirements if the net value of the assets equaled at least $20,000.
