Marriage-based AOS, now wanting to divorce
Hi all,
I need your help and advice on my case.
My spouse (a USC) and I (petitioner) have been married since May 2018 and filed the AOS I-485 and our interview is ready to be in Los Angeles office on Aug 26. However, 3 months ago, I found out that my spouse has changed and is now a drug user and we have started fighting since then. I have been stressed and abused and cried a lot. Now that I think I have made a mistake marrying the wrong person, I want to divorce my spouse and not to proceed to the interview as I won’t be able to live with drugs.
During the months of stress, my best friend has been spending time with me and we fall for each other. I am sure this should be the correct person I should marry to.
Now I have a few questions:
1. Shall I send the request to withdraw my AOS application and divorce my current spouse? By doing that, I will be out of status immediately while the divorcing process may take up to 6 months in LA.
2. I want to re-marry with my best friend. How can I avoid being out of status and deportation as I will have 30 days to leave the country; while waiting for the divorce process to complete to start the re-marriage and submit the new AOS application?
3. Do you know any good immigration attorney in Los Angeles whom I can consult? Please let help me so I can make the right steps.
Thanks a ton to y’all. Your wisdom is of great help at this time to me.
Cheers,
