Thank you for the feedback!

She is working and capable of supporting herself. Do I have additional financial responsibility even after a divorce? We have no kids.

This will be an uncontested divorce so hopefully 3 months to settle everything. The deadline is at the end of this December.

I am the American citizen, my wife is the petitioner. Our marriage started with genuine intentions but it looks like there is no disney ending for us and we are likely to file a no fault, irreconcilable differences divorce. Her two year green card expires at the end of this December and we had started preparing the 751 paperwork. However, with this potential divorce wrinkle, I want to get some feedback on whether to file jointly still as married or for her to file single with divorce pending. My understanding is we have two choices. Option 1 – file joint i751 and start divorce. Send a waiver after divorce is finalized. Is this a messy process? Option 2 – start divorce in immediately and file for waiver i751 as divorced. Would my wife need to send in proof of a pending or finalized divorce? I imagine we would not be able to obtain the finalized paperwork until after her expiration date. I still want to help her obtain her 10 year green card. Any advice would be appreciated.

My wife's mother passed away when my wife was 12 years old. Her grandmother (mother's mother) took legal custody of her. When my wife becomes a US Citizen, is there any chance that she can petition for her grandmother who was legally her parent?
