Any immigration lawyers please help! Which is to my best interest?
A year ago I met 2 men (Steve and Brian) via the internet and they both came to visit me in my home country (Japan). I finally came to the United States and married Steve because he promised me he would try to look for jobs in Japan. Steve turned out to be a drug user and a porn addict and didn’t give me any respect as I am totally dependent on him financially after moving here. Now I have decided to leave him for my own good. Brian learned of my situation all along told me he still loves me and still wants me to be his wife. I knew I had made a mistake by not choosing Brian. A long story short, Brian and I have decided we want to get marry. My question is as I am still a conditional permanent resident here, so after the divorce, should I go back to Japan and come again to be with Brian or should I stay here to petition to remove the conditional term by myself? Is it possible that I can petition for myself and be successful? Thank in advance for your input.
The time for filing a joint petition to remove your conditional status is during the 90 days before the second anniversary of the granting of your conditional permanent residence status – no sooner than 90 days before, and no later than the second anniversary. Under certain circumstances, it is possible to remove conditional status even when filing a joint petition is not an option. However, given the brief information you have provided, it seems unlikely that you would prevail. Sometimes the more difficult path is the more correct path to take; returning to Japan may be your best option – this is simply a casual opinion expressed in a public forum and should not be misconstrued as legal advice.
