If a Jamaican married an American and have filed the paperwork can they divorce after 5 months of marriage?
You can divorce at any time, however with the adjustment of status not complete the Jamaican immigrant will eventually have to return to the island. After a two year period, the petiitioner is required to sign to remove the conditions on residence (assuming the Jamaican came to the U.S. as the result of an I-129F Fiance Visa). It is only at that point that the immigrant is allowed a 10 year green card. If an affidavit of support was signed you are still responsible for the immigrant for 10 years from the date of entry. Divorce doesn't change that. Believe me, this is my second marriage to a Jamaican. I know.
