The legal dissolution of a marriage following the attainment of permanent resident status in the United States, specifically through a 10-year green card, does not automatically jeopardize that status. Permanent residents, including those holding a 10-year green card, are generally entitled to reside in the United States indefinitely, provided they comply with immigration laws.
Maintaining permanent residency is contingent upon adherence to US laws and regulations. Divorce, in itself, does not inherently trigger deportation or loss of residency. The historical context demonstrates that immigration laws primarily focus on factors such as criminal activity, abandonment of residency, or fraud in obtaining the green card as grounds for revocation. Divorce, while a significant life event, falls outside of these primary concerns.
