Divorce - Green card Renewal
Hi everyone, I have a question regarding divorce - me and my American husband are getting a divorce. I received my 10-year green card. When it’s time for me to renew my permanent residency, do I need to tell USCIS that I am divorced? Also, if I would apply for citizenship, would there be any issues after the the divorce?

since you already received a 10 years green card there’s no need for renewal of you permanent residence card (green card) after divorce you just have to be a PR for 5 years and then apply for your N400( citizenship)

you don’t need to renew just file for citizenship in 4 years 9 months

@Sandra Deriphonse The 3 yr rule no longer applies to someone who has divorced. They now have to apply for citizenship with the 5yr rule!

@Sandra Deriphonse to have the divorce decree is less than 2 months... Since she already got her 10 years, she can just wait for 5 years and then apply for Citizenship.

you don't need to inform USCIS now you're a lawful permanent resident you need to apply for citizenship.

thank you for all the responses :) I am not planning to become a citizen as I rather renew my permanent resident. So, do I need to inform USCIS when I file for an additional 10 years later on? (renewing green card).
