What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MD and CA

Hi All,

Me and my wife from Sri Lanka and we came to the USA with our Green cards about a year ago. After we received our Green card Visa, we could get our Divorce decision from Sri Lankan courts, then we came USA as divorced couple in Sri Lanka separetly. Now She’s in CA and I'm in MD and we lives as singles. To USA government, we are still married because we didn’t inform US authorities about we have got our divorce (papers issued with late). As we received our Sri Lankan court documents recently, now we can inform about that.

So my questions are

1. Do we have to file a divorce case in the US again?
2. If not, to where should we provide those Sri Lankan court decision documents?
3. Will this case effect to our Green Cards?
4. What kind of things will occur if we both want to marry again(separately)

I hope somebody might be in here would have any knowledge about this area will be able to give some advices. Even rough and logical possibilities , predictions are also appreciate.

Thanks in advance.

How did you first obtain your greencards?

ETA: Post hx is relevant here.

OP, you need to speak to an immigration attorney. Seriously. You need an attorney.
