My wife and I got married 3 months ago and we applied for my GC about a month ago. We’ve been together for years and living together for 2 years prior to our marriage. We had things in both of our names before and after we got married. Our marriage has been really rough lately and I suggested seeking marriage counseling. She told me she wants to divorce me.
My question is what will happen to my case if we get divorced? I haven’t received my biometrics letter yet.
What happens if she doesn’t want to go to the interview with me?

If she refuses to go to the interview with you then you’ll probably have to withdraw your petition. Get a lawyer though , if you have solid evidence that the marriage was entered in good faith maybe they can still help you .

Uh the marriage was in good faith. Like I said on my op, we’ve been together for years and living together for 2 years. We have loans and the lease in both of our names. Before we got married.

Bro.... marriage is hard. I'm sure you know that by now but it can work when the two people are committed to making it work. Money is actually the number reason majority of couples divorce. Keep pleading with her so you can both get the help you need. It will take a lot of humility on your part because if she is constantly resisting you human nature can kick in and make you resent her. Are there any family members or friends who are GENUINELY invested in seeing your marriage succeed? If there are it might be time to seek their help.... don't give up man. This has nothing to do with your papers; that'll only be a derivative of your marriage succeeding. If you believe in prayer pray for her heart to be open to doing what y'all need to do to reconcile your marriage. Wish you the best!

1) Capture and retain any and all evidence proving your relationship over the years 2) get a lawyer 3) Request her to stay married until the interview

If she doesn't go to the interview then I-130 will be denied as will I-485. Another reason not to go solo since you're delivering yourself for possible detention if ICE is in the same building.

If she does go and you're approved and you divorce afterwards you'll have to file I-751 for removal of conditions seeking a "good faith exemption", where you essentially need to document that the marriage was legit while it lasted.


Personally, I'd try to work it out with her at least to get her to come to the interview, even if that means that you'll give her an easy divorce if she does, and that's mainly because if they approve your I-485 you can still seek a waiver on removal of conditions and remain. If that never gets approved then you have nothing to fall back onto unless you have a case for VAWA.

Do you have DACA?

Are you illegal? I went through the same as you but I had DACA. I cannot help you unless you tell us your status.
