More details to this question:
Hello. Thank you for answering my question. This is my situation. My wife was granted an asylum ( a derivative asylum for me) in 2010. We both applied for and received permanent resident status in 2012. Now we are talking about to divorce. Will a divorce affect my permanent residence and possible naturalization? Thank you
