I would seek legal help, I am in a similar situation. From my consultations with lawyers, divorce soon after green card raises red flags with USCIS (as it should), but it's not necessarily a deal breaker. But, if you have valid reasons and you can show that you made genuine efforts to maintain the relationship (with evidence such as shared leases, joint travels, etc), then you should be fine. The point is, USCIS can accuse you of marriage fraud and potentially revoke your green card, but the burden of proof lies with them. Unlike a green card application where you must prove the legitimacy of your marriage, in an accusation of marriage fraud, they must establish beyond a reasonable doubt that you engaged in fraudulent marriage -- a serious accusation with significant consequences. But again, I would seek legal help and even have your lawyer with you during the interview.

Congratulations! What evidence did you upload?

@Clovoar Updates on your case?

I would apply next year, so under the 5-year rule.

Thank you all. It really was a bonafide marriage. We both decided for the same city, searched for apartments together, signed leases together, but ultimately it was not meant to be.

Hi, Here is my timeline: - We married January 2018 after 5 years dating. - Applied for ten-year green card in early 2020, interviewed in mid 2020, got green card in November 2020. - I got a job offer in another state, moved January 2021. We searched for apartments together, signed the lease together. - We lived apart most of 2021 and 2022, as our jobs were in different states. But we were still married, with pictures from travels we did together, joint lease, etc. - In early 2023, we decided to file for a divorce. She did not want to move to the new city, and I did not want to move back. I am planning on applying for citizenship in 2025. Should I be worried? Does my case raise any red flags? Thank you
