Divorce after Issuance of Green Card

Divorce after Green Card

 

Waiver for Removal of Conditions – Divorce after green card

Are you anticipating or have already gone through a divorce after obtaining your green card? Although marriages are meant to be for life, it is not uncommon for conditional resident to have divorce after green card.  In an event of a divorce between you and your sponsoring spouse, you may believe that you are going to lose your green card status due to the divorce.  It is simply not true!

Waiver for Removal of Conditions Timeline

Removal of Conditions Waiver Lawyer Chicago

Once you received your conditional green card, you are required to file a separate petition called the Removal of Conditions (I-751).  You are required to file it at your two years anniversary of becoming a conditional resident. 

The effect of the removal of condition petition is to remove the conditional conditions on your permanent residency so that you will be eligible for citizenship in the near future.

Generally, a I-751 application should be filed jointly by you and your sponsoring spouse. If you are no longer in a marital relationship with your sponsoring spouse or in the process of a divorce proceeding, you may file the petition by yourself. 

Waiver for Joint filing of Removal of Conditions Requirements 

The general rule of joint filing for the removal of conditions can be waived, meaning an I-751 application can be filed by you only.  Also, you should provide prove of the following:

  • he/she entered into the marriage in “good faith” and not for immigration benefits;
  •  the termination of his/her CPR status will result in extreme hardship;
  • either the applicant or he/her child was battered or subjected to extreme hardship by the U.S.-citizen or permanent-resident spouse.
