Citizenship Process for Green Card holder after Divorce.

[HelpBostonian]

Hi,

I was married to a US Citizen but our marriage fall apart soon after my arrival ( to be precise in 5 months ) here in USA. I received my permanent green card valid till 2015 without any conditions immediately upon my arrival here in USA. Since then I have stayed here for 5 years and have satisfied all the requirements to be a Citizen.

My question is will my divorce from my US Citizen spouse will have any bearing or adverse effect on my case. I read somewhere that if I am divorced from my US Citizen spouse, I won’t be eligible to file for Citizenship. Please advise. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

If you are divorced from USC, you can't file after 3 years, but you can certainly file after 5 years.
