She got 10 years to stay here in US its because she married a US Citzen, and now shes planning to divorce him?
Answer:
if everything is legal, then she can't be deported. as simple as that.
She received a 10 yr GC. That means that she will not be deported in the case of divorce.
She might be deported if investigation will find that marriage was fraud, but its very rare, and only if she is a criminal/terrorist.
Not enough info. Marrying a US citizen does not make her a legal resident! Her husband would have to petition immigration to change her status. (I am assuming she was an illegal alien before the marriage). If approved, she would get legal alien status. If the husband wants he can contact immigration and tell them she only married for a green card and start the proceedure. By the time immigration pulls it's head out she will be somewhere else and they won't be able to find her so why bother? Let it go!! She can't become a citizen if fraud was reported!! She will probably use someone else's SS# to work or find another sucker.
When a foreigner marries a US citizen, and then applies for Permanent Residence (Green Card), she must be SPONSORED. Generally, this is by the SPOUSE. In this case, the HUSBAND.
Part of sponsorship requires the sponsor to sign a form called an
"Affadavit of Support Under Section 213A of the Act". Under this Act, the Sponsor's obligations are listed as follows: (and I quote)
"The person completing this affadavit is the sponsor. A sponsor's obligation continues until the sponsored immigrant becomes a [US CITIZEN, CAN BE CREDITED WITH 40 QUALIFYING QUARTERS OF WORK, DEPARTS THE UNITED STATES PERMANENTLY, OR DIES. DIVORCE DOES NOT TERMINATE THE OBLIGATION] "
and there is more....but first let me explain that 40 Quarters of work is 10 YEARS,
Here's the "more" and again I quote from the ACT
"By signing this form, you the sponsor, agree to support the intending immigrant...and to reimburse [ANY] government agency or private entity that provides [the] sponsored immigrant with Federal, State or local means-tested public benefits.
Looks like she's got him over a barrel. Always think twice before doing these things.
NO. She was married for ten years to an American that means that she was eligible to be a resident alien and minimum to be 4 years living in the U.S. Now after ten years she has plan to divorce him and they can't send her home or be deported. After ten years she is eligible to get the citizenship and she can have it without any problem married or divorced.
I don't think she can be deported, because she married the person. Even if she divorces, it is still legal.
Thats what I have said all along, and I see this on a weekly basis, way too marriages only for a green card. Yea some love you, give you babies, and then its see ya, and tanks fo rthe green card or for making me an American.....Good Luck, she now has rights to defend herself????
If she entered on a fiance visa and filed all the appropriate forms and has already received her 10 year green card, then she can divorce her husband without it having any affect on her status. She can't be deported if she already has her 10yr card.
She can also file to bring her family to the US, but as a greencard holder it would take years. If she becomes a US citizen first before applying for her family, the process is much, much faster for US citizens.
Normally spouses of US citizens are eligible to apply for citizenship after 3 years of Permanent resident status, but in case of a divorce, I'm not sure if she would qualify, she may have to wait the 5 years instead.
