Green card problem

[salesemurin27]

I hope you can give me answer to my question.

I been searching about green card. my green card is good for 10years but my husband and I were in divorce processing. I seen many answers said green card it will effect my status so I'm so worried and don't know what to do. my husband is US citizen we been married more than four years now but as soon i got here in US we fought most of the time so I runaway to him and asked a help to my friend. I filed divorce then he filed divorce too 2days after I filed divorce. is my immigrant status will affect cause of my divorce? do I need to surrender my green card and just go back to my country before immigration deport me?

Re: Green card problem

If you both never attended your 2 year hearing and were re-approved then, your green card has been revoked and you are subject to deportation with a ban.

Re: Green card problem

Then you failed to legitimize your temporary green card granted through marriage and you are out of status, subject to deportation and a return ban.

Since you were granted your green card you were granted permanent status. Green cards are usually granted after a marriage of two years. You got yours.

You do not need to surrender your green card. You are a permanent resident and only have to renew it before it expires.

Yours is not an uncommon situation. Marriages fail at a rate of almost 50% nowadays. I know firsthand of several couples who divorced after in one case, three years, another after four, and in my own family, after three years. The green card holder did not have to surrender their green cards and are still in the U.S. A green card means permanent resident.

WRONG! A green card grants permanent status. Once it is issued a divorce alone does not invalidate it.

Care to reconsider the logic of your statement? She never passed the 2 year interview because she immediately move out and they were not living as husband and wife. The two year interview would have required she and hubby appear testifying they live together in a valid marriage or her legal status is revoked.

Bingo!!! Your green card is worthless and if you are in the US, you are out of status.

I'm glad I went to see a immigration attorney and I'm not worried anymore because my status is safe.


Friend in Court was right about to my green card.

Exactly,because you married in 2011 (more than 2 years),you are good.
