i have a friend who is going through a terrrible time with here husband and she always cries on me on fone everyday , she has been married for like three years but all of a sudden her husband attitude has changed and she said that she will rather go back to her country instead of living in bitterness, she want to go back home and give her self some break and hopefully see what can happen between them, she did not really give me the real details, my question is that she has a 10 year green card granted some time last year , if she goes back to her country , will she be able to use the green card to visit here after she has been divorced from here husband or will she need to apply for a visa again

If she has a 10 year greencard the she can leave and return when she wants... but she is still ment to have her residence in the US and she should not be out of the States for more than a year with out first getting a re-entry permit... being divorced has no barring on it...

here is the link that tell you about maintaning your status....

If she has been a resident (green card holder) for 3 years then she can file for citizenship (its available to married residents) else she will have to wait another 2 years to file for citizenship. After citizenship she is free to come and go as she 'really' pleases, before then they can say she has abandoned her residency if she is out of USA for a long time and deny her re-entry. But why does she want to come here if she is intending to go back? Does she have any other ties to USA? Good Luck
