Q: How long does it take for a person who married a Us Citizen to get permanent Green Card?
I heard this could take 2 to 3 years. I am married to someone and it is not working out. I want a divorce but my partner does not speak about immigration status so I do not know where my partner is in the process, except that we got married on 22nd of August, 2012. My partner has a top lawyer handling her immigration but I cannot speak to the lawyer. I want to divorce, but I also want to know where the immigration status is. I went to the first interview a couple of months after marriage and it went well. Am I putting my partner at risk of being sent to original country if we divorce?
A:
The stated facts create a complex case.
Seek opinions from an experienced immigration attorney. Good luck. www.aba-us.com
