Q: My husband is Canadian we received his green card in 2010. It expires next year and we are about to get divorced.
Will he have an issue getting it renewed? Should he renew it before we divorce so it's good for another 10 years or if he files for it's renewal now would anybody give him an issue and deny the renewal?
A:
The divorce is unlikely to be an issue for simple lawful permanent resident card renewal. However, the USCIS may try review other factors, like his criminal record, if any, among other issues considered on the form due to the long delay. He should consider an appointment with a competent and experienced immigration attorney to discuss some of the factors and consider whether to file for naturalization.
The above is general information, not legal advice, and does not create an attorney client relationship.
