Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

you need to check with the local authorities as to for how long the marriage has to sustain in order to retain the green card status. in case you already have got your greencard, to my mind, you may seek divorce.

You may have the conditions on your status removed, however since you are so close to the expiration of your green card, it's important to act before your status expires.Removal of conditions takes place in the three months prior to the two year expiration of your status jointly with your spouse, or on your own when divorced. The recent guidance from the government relates to those who are separated.

Sincerely,

It sounds like you have a conditional 2 year green card, and you typically would need to remove the conditions on your green card to obtain the permanent green card. Generally speaking, conditions of a temporary green card may be removed by filing a joint petition with the spouse to show that you were in a good faith marriage. Since you are now separated, it is possible to obtain a waiver of the joint filing, but you would still need to act affirmatively in filing the petition to remove the conditions, and it s be donhould be done rather quickly, prior to the expiration of your green card.
