    Default Getting Divorce While Holding Conditional Green Card

    Hi,

    I need some advice. My husband (US citizen) and I (H-visa) started dating back in late 2007. In 2008, he moved to a different city to further his studies and I stayed due to my job. We managed to spend at least 5 days with each other per month. The relationship was in good standing. In mid 2009, we decided to get married and applied for my green card. We still tried to see each other as often as we can. However, it became less and less due to work and school.

    I decided to further my studies also while he will be graduating and working in a different city. However, we will not be able to move to the same city for another at least 3 years due to our field of works and we have also realized that we have grown apart. We still remain good friends.

    My question is how should we go about getting a divorce? I don't want my status to get affected. The marriage is still under 2 years but we entered the marriage in good faith.

    Should I hire an attorney? How much on average does that cost?

    Thank you so much

    Your status WILL be affected. It sounds like you never lived together at all, which does not go over well with immigration.

    Go here, scroll down to Removing Conditional Residence, and read all the links out. Absolutely, you should consult with an attorney. Fees vary, you would need to discuss those with the attorneys you interview.
