Miami, FL immigration attorney Ruth Jean explains how getting a divorce can affect one’s green card. She explains that the answer to whether someone can lose their green card after a divorce is, quite simply, “maybe.” It depends on how the individual obtained their green card. If the person is a conditional resident and the marriage ends in divorce, there may be some risk of losing that status. However, she clarifies that divorcing a U.S. citizen spouse alone is not, by itself, a reason to lose one’s green card.
