Since you have had your green card since 2008, you do not have to inform immigration of your divorce and remarriage. Such should not affect your green card status.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
