i130 approve but divorced before adjusting status.
Hello everyone, hope y’all doing good or at least better than me today. I have an approved i130 but my wife has threatened to get a divorce and was getting ready to file for adjustment of status. Just wanna know if she goes ahead and file a divorce and we get divorced now, will I have to wait five years before someone else can file a petition for me? Been going through a lot and I mean a lot and I’m just done at this point. I’ve always been the one begging to not get divorced but I’m at the point where I don’t think it’s worth it anymore. We have a baby on the way and she has asked me to leave the house, I know I could go through vawa but I feel like it’ll be a lot of additional stress. I’m just done stressing cause the depression have been too much and I don’t like the thoughts I’m getting so I just wanna move out and focus on my mental health. I don’t know why to do. Don’t have a lot of people to talk to. will appreciate any advice. Thamks in advance!!!

Not at all. You don’t have to wait 5yrs . Ones you get the official divorce certificate from her and the i130 is withdrawn, anybody can file for you, so long as the new marriage was done after the divorce and not vice versal (I guess)

I’m so sorry for what you’re going through. I don’t really what to do in this kind of situation. I know it’s hard, but all I would recommend is just being patient. You’ve come this far, so just keep being patient the way you’ve been doing it since.

thank you all for the advice

@sal general thank you for your advice but the i130 has already this past May 12 so I guess it’s past the point where I can withdraw. I’m I right?

@AB thank you for your advise but at this point it’s getting out of hand and I’m worried cause she’s pregnant and I don’t want to keep insisting cause incase something happen she might wanna say I was the one stressing her. We already lost two pregnancies and this is the third one . The first was a miss carriage and the second was a still Birth so I don’t want to force it cause I don’t want anything happening to our baby. She’s been saying I’m street so I think it’s better if I move out

@hopeful Green Card or even Citizenship can be taken back from you even after your naturalization ceremony, let alone i130
So I will advice that you do a one day consultation with a lawyer (which might cost you like $100) and ask them of the procedure to notify USCIS for the cancellation or withdrawal of the i130 . It still can be done

bro I know your situation is very hard. but one thing life has taught me is that everything passes bad or good. this time will pass and you will eventually find someone who loves you for what you are. you will find peace eventually. just do the right thing and be a good man even when life tests you. and nature and this world will reward you for your strength and right things you do. I hope your situation improves faster

Brother, I’ve been in the same shoes as you before, I’ve been dealing with situation like this for over 3yrs,we have two kids together, i130 was approved 8months ago and whiles waiting for i485 to get approved, I was threatened with a divorce on several occasions for no Darm reason just so she can feel powered. I’ve hold myself together, and told myself, at this point in my life, I don’t own my life anymore, it is not mine, I give it all to her and she can do whatever she wants with it and when my time comes, we’ll see how things goes. And with God been on my side, my i485 finally got Approved and received my GC in the Mail. As soon as I know and she knows I received it, she knew that I have got my life back and that was literally the end of the fights, argument and misunderstanding. because she definitely know that there’s nothing she can do with me at this point now. so all I can really say is to hold on tight, things will definitely get better.

I’m sorry to hear that. What country are you from if I may ask? Cubans have the Cuban adjustment act. We have a decent immigration attorney as well I can recommend for you. Where are you located?
I would also suggest just taking a consultation with a divorce attorney as well to know what your rights will be for 1. If you stay in the country, 2. If you leave the country, and 3. what you’re entitled to. I am assuming she’s the main provider for the household since you haven’t gotten work permit? She may have to pay you $$.
I work for a real estate lawyer, and I’m divorced. Plus I’m also in the process for the I485 with my current husband. You have rights, and done be afraid to let her know that as well. It’s tough being pregnant also. But that’s not an excuse to make threats.
Good luck. If you need more help tell me how to contact you ans we can chat off this platform

@catie P, I can’t thank you enough for taking your time and offering this advice to me. It’s unbelievable the people on here and people like you are a blessing to us who have been and through so much pain. I am from west Africa, and I’ve heard your advice and will do exactly that plus consulting an immigration lawyer to find out what my options her. I told her this morning that o have rights too and will not let her violate me anymore. I’m a military spouse and she threatened to take my spouse military ID from me. This is the ID I show when I go to the hospital to get treatment, the ID to access base etc.. She already took both cars we have and I’ve been gone all day stranded couldn’t even go out to get food. She transferred all the money from our joint account, tore down our pictures hanging on the wall at home. Noe I have no car and no money to do anything. I’m just here stranded and hungry. She’s just trying to make me suffer now, and don’t know what o did to deserve this. I had to call friends which I don’t have much, just one person I know to help me out. And they have which I’m grateful for. 2years 7months of my life gone just like that. She’s trying to put me out the house just doing everything out of pure hate. Her mother who came from New York last Friday here helping her do all this. I feel like it was planned. Shes trying to kick me out of the country and put my child’s life. I don’t know what’s next, just can’t think straight. But I’m grateful for all the people on here like you @Catie, @AB, @onlydasrongsurvive, you’re all God sent and I’m forever grateful. Thank you for taking the time to read and respond to me, it means the world. Can’t put it in words. THANK YOU ALL!!!
