Divorce while waiting for oath ceremony

[latina 0]

Hi everyone, I had my combo interview and was approved but still have not had a date scheduled for my oath ceremony yet. My wife and I married in good faith but may be getting divorced. How would getting divorced while still waiting for my oath ceremony affect my citizenship process? Thank you.

Did you file under 3 year rule or 5 year rule?  When was your combo interview?

If you filed for N-400 under 3 year rule, based on marriage you won't be able to naturalize with divorce. You need to withdraw the N-400, also convert I-751 to divorce waiver.

 

If filed under 5 year rule, you may be able to continue, but you'd have to convert I-751 petition to divorce waiver and get it approved first.

And don’t forget breakups /divorces get messy and USC wife may take emotional actions..especially if she perceives in the short few weeks between interview and oath ..she was discarded. 
 

As @Crazy Cat linked , questions are very specific , cannot be dodged . Assuming you meet the 3 year marital union test ..you can overcome pushback

So did you received the NOA approval for the I751?  I assume so since you are in line for an oath.  I agree with the others, you won’t be able to naturalize.

Didn't realize OP already had interview and approval. Cannot naturalize under 3 year rule.
