If you marry a US citizen and you get a divorce is your green card still valid?

Answer 1

Your Green Card is valid even if you get the divorce. However, you cannot apply for citizenship within three years of obtaining the Green Card, but you have to wait for five years. You can also call 1 800 375 5283 and speak with a customer service represetntative about this.

Answer 2

No. Generally a marriage between a US citizen and a foreign national illegal or not would be considered valid. However, in situations where the foreign national has been deported and reentered against US Immigration laws a marriage to a citizen would not be legal. The non citizen spouse is unlawfully present in the US and is now subject to incarceration as well as permanent deportation. If the marriage was one fraudulently entered into both parties have committed a violation of federal law and both can be charged with a criminal felony. *The marriage was not fradulent by no means. And I was told that as long as we have a valid license and it is recorded by the state we married in then all is GOOD. And even Mexico acknowledges marriages that have taken place in the United States. So where is the problem? Illegal immigrants get married everyday in the Unites States. They did not ask us when we were getting married if he was illegal or not or if he had been deported. Yes, but you will need to get a lawyer to help you file, since with the deportation you case is a little complicated. you will need to file a "waiver" to excuse your re entry, and this is the complicated part. that is why you will need a lawyer to walk you through it, good luck

Answer 3

Yes you can keep the green card. For any name change you should use the Form I-90 and get a replacement with new name.

Answer 4

yes, if there is a divorce before the removal of condition, then the petition you entered on would be denied- meaning that you would have to leave the country or stay and risk deportation.
