    Hi, I got married with my husband for 2 and a half year. We wasn’t happy to live together. So, we just divorce. I have a 10 years green card. By the time my divorced final, my valuable time in US( the day show on green card) is 2 years and 9 months. Can I apply for US citizenship? If not, how long do I have to wait to apply for it?

      Wait for 3 years to complete and later you can file for US Citizenship, and it can be done only if conditional residence card is removed while you both were married together.

    Hi Paul, need your enthusiastic advise/thought. My friend is a F1 resident alien who has studied, worked and lived in US for a long period of time. He earned two degrees. Unfortunately, his previous employments could not lead him with a permanent resident card. Now, he is back to school for change of field. Hope the new field can lead him somewhere. Meanwhile, he would like to open an eBay store to sell items from overseas. Eventually, he wants to own his business and apply a green card on his own. He is a tax payer and will continue to pay tax for the business. Can he open it? Will he get in trouble with tax return when he files I-485 later on? In addition, does he need to register his eBay store with County and State? If yes, should he register his eBay store name with LLC? He has SSN. Does he need to get an EIN for LLC and register the LLC with IRS?

      While in F-1 visa, he can’t make any income.

      If he wants to open a business in US, he can obtain green card based on EB-5 category, but the investment should be $500000 amount and create at least 5 jobs. Since its small investment, I doubt he will fall in this category.
