Can INS or Homeland Security remove or take away someone status like Green card (permanent) after divorce?
Answer:
IF THEY CAN PROVE THAT U ONLY GOT MARRIED TO OBTAIN A GREEN CARD
Maybe..he should check www.uscis.gov
And also if they can prove that they got married so that he can obtain the green card. Should quickly look into it..
They can possibly it depends on if his spouse is going to inform uscis. They ahven't been married the full 3 years. And my guess is he is probably under I-140 status currently, which isn't a full g.c. yet. He will be eligible for his g.c. after the completetion of 3 yrs of marriage. If his ex is cool maybe she'll cont. to support him and maybe he will be able to stay but I doubt he will be able to ally for his perm b/c he didn't make they 3 yr. mark.
Only if the ex opens an investigation claim the he/she was used for green card purposes. Just make sure your cousin has proof that it was a happy marriage at some point.
Not very likely!
They can and do on a regular basis.
It is very important that he contact an immigration attorney about this ASAP! (Maybe the one he used for his green card.)
Often INS will try to show that the marriage was solely for the green card. If he is unable to prove otherwise, he may very well be striped of his legal status and deported.
If this divorce was nasty and the "ex" is bitter he has little recourse.
I wish him the best of luck and I would suggest he try to reconcile.
He will lose his green card. The sole basis for his immigration status was his marriage to a citizen. Take away the marriage and there is no supporting document to justify his continued presence within the borders.
If it is permanent (no longer conditional) they won't take it away for that. Unless there was fraud in getting it to begin with.
