I have been married for almost 4 years now. I have just realized in a
way that I have been hoodwinked. My spouse got a conditional green
card based on marriage. I want to divorce now and I know s/he has an
application pending with the INS for REMOVAL of the CONDITION BASED ON
MARRIAGE, but it has not been approved yet. Will a divorce adversely
affect or halt them getting a green card? Can they be sent back to
their home country?

When did they file the I-751? It is possible that the I-751 could be
approved before the divorce is final. Getting divorced is not going to
automatically force them back to their home country.

Hi:

Your question is quite strangely worded. I have no idea exactly what you are asking about. Do you have multiple "spouses"? Or is your spouse a trans-sexual undergoing the "change". Or perhaps "multiple personalities"?

The use of gender neutral and plural is weird when talking about a particular inividual situation.

Thanks Mr. F ... you beat me to it. I, too, wondered by the OP said spouse and then switched to "they" and "them".

As for his spouse's application for I-751, it will either be approved out of hand (without interview) or if the divorce is finalized before adjudication she can refile for a waiver of removal. As long as she can prove she had a bona fide marriage, she will be approved for removal. At least that is the way it has happened for other posters in the same situation, i.e. divorced.

I tried to word it to prevent easy identification. Sorry for the
confusion.
My spouse filed the i-751 in June 2003 and I signed it without paying
attention to what I was signing. If I file for a quick divorce will it
affect the approval of the I-751?

affect the approval of the i-751?

I know you don't want to hear this, but it is possible to get
conditional status removed even if divorced. After all, since you have
been married 4 years, it shouldn't be difficult for the immigrant to
have evidence of a valid marriage. Unless you have some hard evidence
showing fraud on your spouse's part, forget about it...
