I moved from Serbia to Kentucky about two years ago on a family-based green card through my spouse. Things have gone well, but recently my marriage has been struggling, and I’m worried about how this could affect my immigration status. I already have my conditional green card, which is set to expire in a few months. If we separate or divorce before applying to remove conditions, what options do I realistically have to keep my green card and stay in the U.S.?

If you divorce before filing to remove conditions, you can still apply on your own by requesting a waiver. You’ll need to show the marriage was entered in good faith, not just for immigration.


That usually requires evidence like joint financial records, photos, and affidavits. It’s possible, but the evidence is critical.

You may still file to remove conditions after a divorce if you can prove your marriage was genuine. The evidence you submit becomes very important.

The conditional green card can still be converted even if you separate, but you’ll need to file with a waiver instead of a joint petition. USCIS looks carefully at whether your marriage was real.

If you have proof of your shared life together, that helps your case. Without that, it’s much harder to succeed.
