Sometimes a divorce will have immigration consequences. If you are an immigrant considering divorce, it's important to understand any impact to your pending green card application, your current green card or eligibility to file for US citizenship.
Here are some common situations where divorce can impact your green card (also called lawful permanent residence)
- You have a pending green card application based upon marriage to your spouse
- You have a pending green card application based upon your spouse's employment
- You have conditional permanent resident status (sometimes called a 2-year green card or temporary green card) based upon marriage
- Your family member is sponsoring your green card in a visa category where marital status is relevant to your visa eligibility and/or backlog
