18. If she did get married

Sat Aug 6, 2016, 03:01 PM

Aug 2016

If I am not mistaken, they have to be married 5 years to be able to become a citizen. They can get their green card, but have to stay married for the 5 year period to apply for citizenship. If she married Trump four years after she claimed the marriage, then what happened to the husband? If they divorced any time during that 5 year period, she should have lost the green card.

Things may have changed, but I had an ex-sister in law that married a guy from England so he could become a citizen. He paid her a lot of money, and she stayed married for 5 years, even though they did not live together, and she had another boyfriend. That was back in the 70's, so maybe it has changed, but this brings up a lot of questions.
