What is the name of your state? GA
I married an illegal in 2000, not for papers' purposes. We applied in 2000 or 2001 using if I recall, I-765 & he was granted a work authorization, then a green card. He remains a legal resident alien. We did well until some fluky things happened, we went baaad, & divorced in 2006. Since then we have 'reunited' & things are much better. By reunited I mean he moved back in; we haven't remarried.
My question is,
What can we expect if we remarry, from DHS? What's our responsibility if we do that? Do we need to do something now (like notify them) that we are no longer married?

If he has unconditional permanent residence, then it is no longer relevant whether or not you are married except if he may plan to apply for citizenship. Please clarify. He does need to notify the USCIS of any address changes as long as he is not a US citizen.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions or how I can be of further assistance to you in this matter.

I am not aware of any conditions upon his residency. He does plan to apply for citizenship. What impact does marital status have on that? I'd forgotten about the address update. Thank you for your info.

Well, depending on how long he has been married to the USC and whether he is still married at the time of applying for citizenship, he can either apply for citizenship after 3 years of being a permanent resident or after 5 years.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions or how I can be of further assistance to you in this matter.
