Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

Permanent residence of a US citizen spouse remains valid even after divorce. You can file anytime after the divorce is final and before the two years expire. You can also file even before the divorce is final, though it's a little more complicated that way.

The above is not legal advice, it is general information and does not form an attorney client relationship.

Your green card will not expire after divorce. You can file after divorce becomes final. In any case, you must file to remove conditions prior to expiration of your conditional green card, otherwise, your status will be terminated and you placed into removal proceedings.

Applying after divorce, you have a higher burden of proof, as you will be asking for a waiver of a joint filing requirement (jointly with your US citizen spouse).
