Divorce can be an extremely complex process for immigrants living abroad and navigating legal systems in multiple countries. This article covers various aspects of divorce among immigrant couples, such as their rights and impact on immigration status as well as why our firm is the ideal solution in immigrant divorce cases.
What Happens if You Divorce an Immigrant?
Divorcing an immigrant requires special consideration, which must be understood. Legal issues and potential challenges should be carefully evaluated prior to embarking on this process, from immigration status issues to asset division issues – among many other considerations.
Can an Immigrant File for Divorce in the US?
Yes! Immigrants have every right to file for divorce in the US regardless of their immigration status, as laws governing divorce apply equally to both immigrants and citizens alike. However, it’s essential that one familiarizes oneself with state regulations and requirements before beginning the process for filing divorce in America.
How Can I Notify Immigration of My Divorce?
Divorcing an immigrant requires notifying the appropriate immigration authorities of any changes in marital status, whether through filing Form I-751 for conditional green card holders or updating status with USCIS for those who already possess permanent green cards.
Will a Divorce Impact Your Immigration Status?
Divorce can have serious ramifications on an immigrant spouse’s immigration status. If he or she obtained conditional green cards through marriage and the relationship ends within two years of obtaining them, this may result in their conditional green cards becoming invalid; whereas if it occurs post two year period then his or her permanent green cards should remain valid; to fully understand its impact it is wise to consult with an immigration attorney prior to finalizing any agreements regarding immigration status.
