    Default Permanent Resident Card Replacement Pending, Getting Divorced.

    I have lived in Ohio for 9 years but I'm originally from Britain, I married a Citizen here and we started a family, I had my Permanent Resident card but needed to renew it, I'm in the process of doing that, now I'm getting divorced and I was wondering if
    1. My divorce is going to effect me going for citizenship or renewing my residency again in 5 years.

    2. if I decide to Divorce in court, rather than a no fault divorce, will the judge order me to work and get a drivers license within 90 days, even though I don't have work authorization till my paperwork goes through and my card arrives? (This is what my Estranged Husband is telling me will happen, I suspect scare tactics but I want to be educated before I agree to anything)

    Thank You.

    How long have you been a lawful Permanent Resident? When you married, did you file the I-751 to have your conditional status removed?

    Once you're an unconditional, lawful Permanent Resident, you're here to stay, unless you choose otherwise or commit a crime that causes you to be deported.
