If you have divorced after obtaining conditional residence, it can be challenging to proceed with the process of removing conditions. However, there are steps you can take to file a petition and obtain permanent residence in this situation. You can apply if you are divorced but the marriage was entered into in good faith, you were a victim of abuse or cruelty, or if it would cause extreme hardship to return to your home country. The application is filed as follows:
Document the valid marriage: Despite the divorce, gather all the evidence that demonstrates your marriage was genuine and valid during the time you were together. Include shared financial records, photographs, travel documents, correspondence, and third-party testimonies.
Prepare a detailed statement: Our group of attorneys will assist you in detailing a statement if there was abuse or similar circumstances.
Submit a well-founded petition: Carefully prepare the petition to remove the conditions and ensure that you include all the required documents. Our group of attorneys specializes in advising you on the specific documents you need.
Conclusion: Although divorce can complicate the process of removing residence conditions, it is not impossible to obtain permanent residence. Contact Villar & Garcia at 915-314-2363 to evaluate your case free of charge.
