Immigration Forum / USA Marriage Base / June 2006Marriage probs/question
I just got married june 2nd to a us citizen. we are about to go sign the papers to the lawyer on friday. but we are having some troubles. i'd like to know what are my chances of being able to stay here in the states if 1) he does come to sign the papers but decides to separate after 2) if he refuses to sign them. I understand afer 2 weeks you worry more about your greencard than your marriage. That would make me a rather die-hard cynic. Susie, "the papers" ?

I tried to work something out to make it better but he is no longer the person he used to be. By papers I meat the petition he had to file. We just have to go in and sign so that the lawyer can send it out. If he doesn't sign the petition, you can remain in the US as long as your current status remains valid. If he signs the petition, you can remain in the US as long as the I-485 is pending. If he doesn't show up at the final interview, you will have to leave that same day (unless you are placed in jail waiting deportation). My guess is that either he he just freaking out about being married - which is normal and shouldn't last. Or you didn't know him in the first place (did you marry him within 6 months of meeting him?). > > Susie, > > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > By papers I meat the petition he had to file.

If we do get divorced(because I prefered that then waiting for it to turn into something ugly) can my lawyer still help me somehow? If you divorce before the final interview, you will have to leave the US. If you divorce after you got your green card (for that you'll have to convince the officer that your marriage was genuine), you can remain. > > If he doesn't sign the petition, you can remain in the US as long as > > your current status remains valid.

And is that the only paper to be signed and filed? You're leaving an awful lot of important information out of your tale. Let's start with how you came to be in the USA. And don't stop there.

I came to the us as a student 3 years ago. what we did so far was give in all our documents(marriage licence,birth certificates,visas..etc) to the lawyer. I beleive it is the I-130 that we have to go and sign on friday. he agreed to do that. Susie, I would think that you'd be submitting an I-485 application to adjust status along with that I-130 petition? Submitting the I-130 alone does not allow you to remain in the USA.
