Massachusetts Immigration and Divorce Lawyers
When a relationship falls apart, the emotional toll can be significant. However, if one of the parties in the relationship is a foreign national, his or her immigration status may be in jeopardy. If you are considering separation or divorce after you have received conditional status, it is important to consult with an immigration and divorce lawyer.
At the REID & GAUDET Law Group, LLP, in Massachusetts, we provide understanding and compassionate counsel for individuals and families facing immigration and residency challenges following separation and divorce. Contact us to protect your rights and your status. Se Habla Español Se Fala Português
When a foreign national marries a United States citizen or a green card holder, he or she is eligible to obtain conditional status. After two years in a successful, viable marriage, the foreign national spouse may file a petition to remove the condition. However, many relationships do not last for two years following the marriage.
Protecting Your Status After Divorce
Should a foreign national marriage end prior to the two-year anniversary, a foreign national has the option to file a sole petition rather than a joint petition to remove his or her conditional status. If the marriage relationship deteriorated due to abuse, the foreign national may be eligible to file for immigration benefits under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA).
If your marriage is in jeopardy, you must take action to protect against removal proceedings. When you call our offices, our immigration and family law attorneys will work with you to file the appropriate paperwork and to proceed with naturalization. Should you face deportation due to conditional residency issues, we can handle your case.
