My friend is getting his final divorce papers in a few weeks but sponsored his wife immigration application, she got a conditional green card. He says he's done and has moved on, he lives with his girlfriend and have a baby, He works for a government agency and he says that he doesn't want anything to do with the ex-wife. Would it hurt her application?|||She absolutely can file the I-751 as soon as her divorce is final; she can file it under the waiver provision of the joint filing requirement.
Since the husband is your friend, this info may not get to her, but the others here answering should know. Please reference the USCIS article How Do I Remove the Conditions On Permanent Residence Based On Marriage?|||Yes, she'll be unable to get a permanent green card and will have to leave the United States.|||Yes. It will. A conditional green card is given on condition of marriage. That condition no longer exists. If they did not have the conditions removed, a divorce will invalidate her green card upon the expiration date. She will not be allowed to renew it.|||Pretty much so.
If they'd been married for more than 2 years she could petition for the conditional status be removed. But divorce pretty much severes her chances of applying for permanent residency.
Suggest she consult a lawyer, she may still have options.
