Re: Immigration and diorce

Generally speaking if permanent residency is without conditions then there is no need to fill out a form notifying the immigration authorities upon grant of divorce or remarriage, but the length of the marriage may become relevant during naturalization proceedings and it should be reported then, particularly if permanent residency was obtained on the basis of a now terminated marriage.

Any change of address of course must still be reported.

This is general information and not legal advice, there is no right to rely upon it, and no attorney-client relationship is created.

Good luck.
