Hello everyone. I have a question, but first let me give you some background. My boyfriend is a green card holder. He obtained his permanent residency roughly 1.5 ago through marriage. Unfortunately, his wife turned out to be very abusive (long story, but she was probably every men’s biggest nightmare. Controlling, violent, terrible). He managed to divorced her few months ago and now we live together in peace.
Now. I am an international student. My program ends next year (I’m still eligible for OPT). We want to get married one day and start a family. We don’t really care where we live as long as we are together BUT he owns a business in the United States and, as long as he doesn’t have his citizenship, can’t really move out. Therefore, my question is:
Will the fact that he obtained his GC through marriage and later divorced affect my possible future GC application when we get married? We want to marry next year, but we can also wait some time. He will become US Citizen in four years. Should we wait until he becomes citizen? Or do you think we can start the process sooner?
Thank you
