Separating before removing the conditions on GC

[derrickrose1989]

Hello everyone. Me and my American citizen wife have been together for four years and we have been married for one and half years. I had my Green Card permanent resident card on March 2014 and we are waiting for applying to 10 years Green Card after two years is up. The only problem so far is , our marriage is not going very well recently. She wants to have a baby with me but I think we are not ready for a baby yet because our financial situations (we are both students). Other day, she told me she wants to be separated because of our problems but she said since I'm in the Green Card process, she will wait for divorcing till I have my second green card. We haven't separated yet because we both know it would be so hard for both of us because we really love each other. my questions are :

1) The issues we have been going through in our marriage right now would be the problem for removing my conditions on my green card next year ?

2) Even though we possible might be separated, living in the same house would be a good idea for next interview ?

3) Also even if i get my ten years green card and then divorce, would i lose my chance to apply for a citizenship ?

I'm in very stressful situation at the moment. I want to stay in USA and I love my wife. I just don't feel that it is the right time to have a baby. I need all of your advises for my situation. Thank you very much.

Let's not sugarcoat this - the truth is that you're a CONDITIONAL permanent resident, and you only qualify for UNRESTRICTED/FULL residency if you apply for that in March/2016 - and if you're still married to your wife. If you divorce her, you don't qualify anymore for your current CONDITIONAL status, and you certainly don't qualify for a non-conditional status later.

So, bottom line is: what you're planning to do is illegal, and if you get caught, you will be removed from the US - and your wife will be an accomplice in a federal crime (lying to obtain immigration benefits for you).

Get her pregnant. Have a kid. Live your life. Try to avoid lying and becoming a criminal.
