Legal Question in Immigration Law in New York

annulment question

one of my friends was married to us citizen for 4 years and the marriage took place abroad. and it took almost 4 years for him to get here, but then when finally he got here his wife couldn't get along with him because she was seeing someone else by that time, anyways long story short he was told to move out while his GC was in process. Later on he was given the option of signing an annulment document and get his GC or else get deported. he took the first option but now he is not sure what his legal status is after the marriage is dissolved and will he be able to apply for citizenship ever? and what happens if he marries to another us citizen?

Re: annulment question

Hi. We need to clarify some facts before I can give you constructive input. Did he actually get his green card? If so was it a permanent green card or conditional green card? Has it expired or is it good for 10 years (the permanent one if he has it)? I have too many questions to properly advise you on the information you've given but all said and done if it was a legit marriage and he actually received some type of green card (conditional or permanent) then we should be able to help him out. Also, he should not just marry another US citizen to get status. If it is a legit marriage then we can definitely discuss that option. Feel free to call me for an appointment.
