Can I get divorced and still keep the Green Card as the primary holder?

It is important to understand that, in the United States immigration system, the green card obtained through the EB-3 visa has a different nature than the one granted in marriage-based immigration processes.

In the case of the EB-3, the green card is granted based on your professional qualifications and a job offer, which means that your status does not depend on your marital status. If you are the principal beneficiary of the EB-3 visa and decide to get divorced, this decision alone does not automatically cancel or invalidate your green card.

In other words, getting divorced does not directly affect your permanent resident status, since the basis for granting your green card is related to your professional qualifications and the job offer.

However, it is always prudent to remember that significant changes in your personal life can, in some cases, have implications in other aspects of your immigration process, especially if you are involved in parallel processes or cases where eligibility may be assessed jointly. Therefore, it is important to keep all documentation in order and strictly comply with the country’s immigration laws.

If you have doubts about how personal changes can impact your situation, it is recommended to seek information from reliable sources or immigration professionals, always carefully evaluating the risks of falling for scams or miraculous promises of guaranteed results.

Finally, we emphasize the importance of getting informed from serious sources and avoiding marketing campaigns that promise results without any secure legal basis. Every case has its nuances, and although divorce does not compromise your green card when it was obtained through EB-3, it is essential to stay attentive to all details and obligations imposed by United States immigration laws.
