Re: Immigration Divorce & Remarrage

Your "loving special lady" would likely be well advised to hold off on the divorce at least until after

she has her interview with USCIS next June. (If USCIS comes to the conclusion that her marriage to her current husband was not genuinely entered into for the right reasons, she

might not succeeed in getting her lawful permanent residency visa(green card) and a divorce initiated by her before this happens will almost guarantee the withdrawal of her husband's sponsorship of her application for green card status and further complicate matters for her.
