Would it be possible for me to move out, get a divorce and not be sent away?

Answered by attorney David Nabow Soloway
Immigration lawyer at Kennedy, Nalepa & Soloway, P.C.
Sorry to hear about your heartbreak and the problems with your marriage. A Permanent Resident is not at risk of removal/deportation just because she separates (or becomes divorced) from her husband, and this is true regardless of whether permanent residency was achieved through a success marriage-based adjustment of status application. It would be wise, however, to save documents showing that you and your husband have been living together as a married couple: this might include, for example, evidence that you have paid household bills, evidence that your car is registered at your family address and that your car insurance shows your address there, copies of employment records showing your marital status and your home address, copies of joint bank account bills, credit card bills, utility bills, tax records, etc. If you seek marriage counseling to try to resuscitate your marriage, that may be helpful for you and documentary evidence of seeking marriage counseling also could be helpful to show that you and your husband lived together in a bona fide marriage notwithstanding that it ultimately ended in separation or divorce. These types of documents may be useful if you later decide to apply to become a naturalized citizen (they also could be important if you were granted only "conditional resident" status, requiring you to file a Petition to Remove Conditions during the 90-day period prior to the end of the two year period following approval of Conditional Resident status). Issues relating to a Petition to Remove Conditions and relating to naturalization can be more complex than they appear. It would be wise for you to consult with an immigration attorney who, after learning all of the relevant information, could advise about eligibilities, options and strategies to attain your goals, and who then could offer legal representation in the often complex application process.

Will my husband be denied his green card if I apply for federal aid if we have a joint sponsor?

Answered by attorney David Nabow Soloway
Immigration lawyer at Kennedy, Nalepa & Soloway, P.C.
The fact that a U.S. citizen petitioner (and/or her children) apply for and receive public assistance will not interfere with the citizen's ability to petition for her husband. Of course, with insufficient documentable income, it may be necessary to have a joint sponsor as you indicated you already have. Some immigration law firms, including mine, offer legal services on a "flat fee" basis so that a client will know the total expense from the very beginning, and a few immigration law firms, including mine, offer an initial consultation free of charge.

What is the best way to adjust my husband's status?

Answered by attorney David Nabow Soloway
Immigration lawyer at Kennedy, Nalepa & Soloway, P.C.
In order to enter the U.S. with a B1/B2 visitor's visa, one must have a genuine intention to enter the U.S. to stay only temporarily. If one enters the U.S. with a B1/B2 visa and then promptly applies for adjustment of status, the USCIS may conclude that the foreign national was dishonest in stating his "nonimmigrant intent," and the USCIS may deem that the foreign national committed visa fraud with potentially very harsh consequences. Of course, one may enter the U.S. with the genuine intention of staying only temporarily, and then that person could change his/her mind and decide to apply to become a Permanent Resident. When an application to adjust status is filed more than 60 days after an entry, the USCIS generally does not question the "nonimmigrant intent" at the time of entry. Note also that if a Form I-130 Petition for Alien Relative were to be filed before the foreign national entered the U.S., this too could be viewed as an expression of "immigrant intent." If the foreign national spouse has decided to immigrate to the U.S., the couple may go through "consular processing" abroad. It would be wise to consult with an immigration attorney before taking any further immigration-related steps. Some immigration law firms, including mine, offer legal services on a "flat fee" basis so that a client will know the total expense from the very beginning, and a few immigration law firms, including mine, offer an initial consultation free of charge.
