![Default](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Hello everyone,
I'm hoping someone might be able to give me a little info on the situation i'm in at the moment.
I'm from the UK and my Wife is from the US. We've been married approx 2 years now and i currently have a Green card with Conditional Status, and my interview for Conditional status removal is this coming July.
Unfortunately to cut a long story short, we can't live together anymore, so we're getting a divorce. Also there are no hard feeling between us, if that would make a difference.
I have a good job here and i would like to stay. But im not sure where i stand now if i get a divorce before my conditional status removal.
I've read a post that had a link before hand that would kind of explain, but i
cant really make any sense of it
and im afraid i'll lose everything i've worked for to get this green card( not that thats why i got married) but ive started to worry now.
If anyone can give me some kind of good news it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

You mentioned your interview for removal of conditions is coming up in July. Just to let you know, if you file jointly, there *usually* is no interview in involved in this step. Filing on your own after a divorce might raise your chances of an interview, though. But it's not a big deal, just go to the interview and answer their questions honestly. Much like the AOS interview was.
Best Wishes,
Rene

Thanks for the reply Rene!
in your last last paragraph are you basically saying if we file for a divorce together, i.e. using the same Attorney we've been using, it would be better?
Once again Thank you.

It doesn't really matter how you get the divorce as far as immigration is concerned. What does matter is that you get it over and done with so you can file to remove the conditions. There are two circumstance where you can file for this: married and living together OR divorced. Anywhere in between and you're in limbo.

I have 2 questions on this....
1. How do you know this far in advance that you have an interview in July next year!
2. I was under the impression that when you use a lawyer the divorcing partys have to use separate attorneys as it is a conflict of interest!!
Just curious

Anyone else reading this - please disregard and read the instructions for I-751.

Things that might trigger an interview include: officer is confused about something and needs verbal clarification, officer has doubts about the relationship and conducts a joint interview, you are chosen for an interview for quality control purposes, or you file the I-751 with the waiver after having been divorced.
So in a normal, jointly-filed I-751 scenario, there most likely would not be an interview.

Your premise is flawed. There is absolutely no way to know if or when you will have an interview when you file the I-751. Even if you proceed from the position that you will have an interview, there is absolutely no way to know when it will be. It could be a month or a year or more *after* you submit the I-751.
