Hello,
I got married to a USC in 2011 in Pakistan, I continued living with my parents afterwards and my ex-husband lived in the US.
In 2015, my green card application was filed and I was required to appear for an interview at the embassy. During the interview I was asked questions about my marriage and how I maintained contact with my ex-husband. After all queries were satisfied I was assigned a visa. After coming to the US, I received a GC with a 10 year validity.
After living together for almost 19 months things didn't really work out between me and my ex-husband and I decided to separate and filed for a divorce in 2017. Considering my situation I have the following questions. All suggestions and help is appreciated.
1) Am I still on a permanent resident status? Does the divorce affect my status in anyways?
2) Will I have to complete 5 years on my GC before applying for a citizenship?
3) What future measures should I consider to maintain a valid status?
