Hi
i have a F1 visa, my boyfriend got his GC in winter/spring 2010. he got his political asylum and GC through his wife(they got married after her political asylum application, so it took him years and couple of interviews to get his asylum first and then a GC....he had his joint husband/wife GC interview in December 2009). months after receiving his GC(winter/sprind 2010), summer same year he filed for divorce in NY on the ground of not being together for a year and more. questions:
1-will his rushed divorce(especially on such ground) affect his GC status and future application for a citizenship? can he lose his GC or be denied in citizenship?
2-can he marry me, F1 holder, and apply for my GC documents right after his divorce or should he wait?
thank you so much for your help.
He got his GC through marriage so he cant sponsor a new spouse for 5 years from the date he became a permanent resident.

That restriction doesnt apply here. This case was derivative asylum, not a family-based petition based on marriage to a USC or LPR.
Edit: on the other hand, its not so clear whether his GC was thru asylum or family 2A. IrinaV: Please clarify whether his GC was derivative asylum, or whether his wife filed I-130 for him.
F1 marrying GC( additional complications)...help please!
