Free Health Clinic Change Notification
Starting January 2011 Our FREE MONTHLY HEALTH Clinic will be held Every Fourth Saturday Between 11:00 am to 1:00 pm At Hindu Temple of Minnesota 10530 Troy Lane North Maple Grove, MN
If you are a CPR you do not have to remain married to your abusive spouse. You can still become a LPR even if you are divorced or separated from your spouse. If you still live with your abusive spouse, you do not need his cooperation to obtain LPR status.
To obtain LPR status you must file a petition, Form I-751, with the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) ninety days prior to the expiration of your two-year card. If you have divorced your spouse, you may file Form I-751 as soon as you are divorced.
If you are filing Form I-751 without the help of the abuser, you must file under one of the following categories:
- The marriage was entered into in good faith, but was terminated for good cause,
- The marriage was entered into in good faith, but you have been the victim of domestic violence or extreme mental cruelty.
- It would be an extreme hardship for you to return to your native country.
