Dear Inquirer:

If you are divorced before your I-485 is approved, the USCIS will revoke the I-130 approval. You may be able to seek a "self-petition," if the reason for the divorce was physical abuse or extreme mental cruelty.

Please email [email protected] or visit www.hanlonlawgroup.com if you would like to explore this matter further in a confidential consultation.

You really should consult an Immigration Attorney. Please send me an email if in Southern California with your contact information and we can discuss your particular facts. There is no fee for consultation.
