phoreal Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 My spouse filed for me as dependent, he was the principal, he got his gc (eb3) on October .2007 and mine I got in august 2010. Our files were separated and mine took almost 3 years after his. He got his gc around 2007 and we separated in 2009 (his idea). I got my gc in 2010 (when I still believed we were going to get back together). I filed for divorce on 2011. He agreed for the divorce in 2011. We were together since 2003. (married in 2006) Does it affect citizenship?. The divorce was final on 2011. (may). we meet 2003 lived together 2004-2009 married 2006 file gc 2007 separated 2009 divorce final 2011 Link to comment
t75 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 No. You are eligible to apply under the 5 year rule based on the date on your GC. Link to comment
phoreal Posted January 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Thank you. Our relationship span for circa 8 years. My only fear is the IO asking about the separation. We separated but thought we were going to reconcile but it was not the case. Our marriage was 5 years legally. Lived together for 2.5 years before marriage Link to comment
t75 Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Your separation is not a problem. The only complicating factor I can think of is proper tax filings when separated and due to the divorce. Make it easy on yourself and consult professionals to make sure your documents are correct and stop worrying. Link to comment
