Q: I got my 10 year green card end of November 2020, if I get divorced now can it cause immigration issues?

A: This type of case requires you to retain one of the few attorneys who is experienced in both matrimonial and immigration law. By doing so you have (presuming your facts are accurate) both getting divorced and not having your green card revoked. During this pandemic, you have a choice of either seeing your attorney in person or by way of a secure state of the art Zoom Video Conference. So you don’t have to be restricted by geography anymore in terms of choosing an attorney. You can “Meet” your attorney online for an initial strategy session from the comfort of your own home. Through mail, e-mail and electronic filing almost everything can be done without leaving your home, for most types of cases. Pick the best attorney you can find and remember one rule: a good attorney is generally never cheap, and a cheap attorney is generally never good so don't choose based on price.

A: The answer to your question may come down to the extent to which each party is acting in good faith or bad faith. While it is impossible for an attorney to give you a fully confident answer based on the limited facts, if you have behaved in an honest fashion with respect to this marriage, and your husband has, for example, been abusive or has otherwise created a hardship for you, then you should be on solid legal footing. Of course, your husband may spitefully lie to authorities as far as your motives go. However, if you can successfully overcome those lies, then his tactics could actually backfire against him and give you a significant advantage in the divorce process. Again, it would be irresponsible to give you an answer here without more context regarding your green card, the marriage, the circumstances leading up to the divorce, etc. But if you have been acting as sincere, honest, and upstanding individual all this time, then there's little reason to believe that you would run into trouble with USCIS authorities who are appropriately applying agency rules and guidelines. Character goes a long way in these matters.
