Legal Question in Immigration Law in Texas
My wife is not a US citizen. She was sponsored in the US at the time by her husband and received her green card. She divorced him, and later we were married. I am a citizen, but have not filed any paperwork with ICE regarding any change of sponsorship, etc. My wife and I may divorce. What will happen to her status?
1 Answer from Attorneys
You didn't explain what her status is? Is she a permanent resident or conditional?
There is no need to file paperwork with ICE because this organization is not in charge of applications for adjustment of status. The USCIS is the organization in charge of this type of applications.
If she has a permanent green card valid for 10 years, she is free to stay and apply for US citizenship whenever eligible.
If she had only a conditional green card with her ex-husband (valid for 2 years), and didn;t apply to remove conditions, then there could be a problem, and she should consult a knowledgeable immigration attorney.
