Hello everyone,
I’m seeking advice on my current situation regarding my immigration status and personal life. Here are the key details:
1. Current Immigration Status:
• I’m currently on a conditional green card, which I obtained through my marriage.
• I’ll be filing the I-751 to remove the conditions on my green card by the end of January. My case will be based on my marriage, which is ending in divorce.
2. Divorce Process:
• My husband and I have been separated for a while now.
• We signed an informal written agreement of separation via email in mid-October, but it’s not legal or notarized.
• Our divorce is expected to be finalized by the end of January.
3. Living Situation:
• I’m considering moving in with my boyfriend and signing a lease with him while waiting for my divorce to be finalized.
4. Questions/Concerns:
• Will moving in with my boyfriend or signing a lease together negatively impact my I-751 application to remove conditions on my green card?
• Does the email agreement of separation hold any weight if USCIS requests proof of separation before the divorce is finalized?
• Should I take additional steps to document my separation from my husband before moving in with my boyfriend?
• Are there risks to my immigration status if I proceed with this plan?
I’d appreciate any insights, advice, or similar experiences you can share. I want to ensure I handle this transition properly while staying within the boundaries of immigration law.
Thank you in advance for your help!

This revision includes the mention of the I-751 while keeping everything else intact.
I haven’t moved yet but that’s a good point about filing the AR-11 I didn’t know that! I’ve known this bf for around 8 months. He was in my friends group and I knew him 2 years after being married. I’ve been married for 3 years, we were living apart for one year before I finally moved to the states. and yes I have sufficient evidence. I’m on the house deed, we had health insurance together, investment beneficiaries, family photos etc
