Q: If I submitted my I751 as married and then get divorced a few months after do I need to re submit the i751 as divorce?
I have submitted my I751 and it was recieved Sept 2019. I have recieved the I797 with the 18 month extension. I have caught my spouse cheating on me and do not wanna stay in the relationship due to her actions. Do I need to do anything regarding the I751?
Thank you !
A:
Yes, when your divorce is final, then you need to notify the USCIS. In addition, you should preserve all evidence of your relationship including maintaining good relations with your in laws, if possible. This can prove complicated, when you have irreconcilable differences with your wife. As a result, I strongly recommend that you hire a competent and experienced immigration attorney, before the situation gets more complicated.
The above is general information, not legal advice, and does not create an attorney client relationship.
Stephen Arnold Black agrees with this answer
A: You have a couple of options. You can wait and see if the I-751 is approved, or you can submit a copy of divorce petition. You don’t need to submit anything until the divorce is finalized. We recommend that you consult with an immigration attorney, however.
