Having a permanent resident

[Nae2020 0]

Me and husband are getting a divorce after 3 1/2 years of marriage. He also just received his permanent resident card. Do you think there would be any issue at court during the divorce? Will he get deported or anything due to this? Will this effect him for applying for citizenship?

Should not cause any issues in divorce court.  As to eventual naturalization, it only impacts him relative to when he can apply, he will have to wait for five years instead of three.  You did not clarify, did he receive a 2 year or 10 year Green Card?  If a 2 year, he will have to file for Removal of Conditions with a divorce waiver.

 

Sorry about your troubles in your relationship.

 

Good Luck!

The only effect I can think of is the fact that a divorce does not alter your I-864 obligations...and possibly when he can apply for citizenship.

No

 

And he can apply for citizenship on his own
