Re: re-newing green card after divorce

Your friend has apparently received "conditional" residence. This means that during a 90 day period BEFORE the 2Year Anniversary from the DATE the spouse RECEIVED her GREEN CARD, the couple will have to petition to remove the "condition." If a spouse is going to get divorced, she can do by herself once she is divorced AFTER the 2Year period and after the 90 day period. This will require extensive documentation. It would also be beneficial to have the divorce finalized soon.

Our law firm is in Miami, Florida, and would be happy to assist your friend with her divorce and petition to remove the conditions on her residence. Please contact me through the link below.
