Can I get divorced after the removal of conditions and keep my green card?

It is normal to have doubts about how personal changes can influence your immigration status. When the conditions on your Green Card, issued under the EB-5 investment program, are removed, you become a full permanent resident. Generally, if the divorce occurs after the condition is removed, it does not automatically cancel or revoke your right to remain in the United States.

After the removal of conditions, you have already completed a rigorous verification process of the information provided, and your permanent resident status has been granted definitively. This means that, under usual circumstances, the end of a marriage will not affect the validity of your Green Card. However, it is important to be mindful that if you apply for citizenship in the future, you must provide all necessary clarifications about the circumstances of your divorce, demonstrating that the marriage was legitimate and not a means to obtain immigration benefits.

It is worth emphasizing the importance of keeping up with updates in immigration laws and regulations, always maintaining an informed and conscious stance. In case of doubts about your specific case, seeking guidance from specialized professionals can help avoid misunderstandings and risks, such as exposure to scams or misleading information in marketing campaigns. Following the laws and relying on accurate information is essential to ensure you are always in compliance with the requirements of the United States immigration system.
