Divorced with spouse visa

by **msorlando** » Fri Apr 24, 2009 2:19 pm

I have a 3 year spouse visa but divorced last year. My wife confirmed with immigration that my visa will still be good till the end of the term even though divorced. My question is this...I have 2 sons here with my ex wife. I wish to stay after my visa expires to be near them. Is there any visa I can get other than a work visa or spouse visa? I dont work for a company as I only teach all private English lessons so I cant get a work visa sponsored. Also if I decide to return to the US at the end of my stay do I need to go to the immigration office for anything? thanks

Really the only option to you is a self sponsored visa. There is a good explanation of this on this blog.

However, a disclaimer. Free advice on the internet is only as valuable as the money you have spent to get it.... consult an immigration lawyer ASAP. Usually consultations will only cost you \5,000 and they can tell you what your options are.

I think GomiGirl is right (unless you plan for some other status change like getting remarried or working for a company). That's a useful link. Be aware that when talking to Immigration, you still need to be applying for a specific type of visa. The list is here, and my guess is that you are shooting for a Specialist in Humanities / Internationlal Services Visa. It does sound like, under the right conditions, you can sponsor that kind of visa yourself. Good luck and don't forget to get a lawyer!

I know some places claim to be immigration lawyers yet, actually "Immigration lawyers" do not exist. They are simply Public Notaries.
Some of them specialize in immigration affairs and will write documents for immigration.
