I was 99.99% sure that you both had already adjusted status.
When you apply for removal (I-751) your daughter is included in your petition. Her conditional status is derived from your status as is her removal.
To make you feel more comfortable with what to do, spend the money required for a consultation with an immigration attorney, even if it is a telephone consultation. Getting the correct information from a person who can confirm the law will help you to sleep better at night.
Good luck to your daughter in getting the <bad language adjective> husband out of her life. Get an order of protection, file for divorce and/or annulment if applicable, and don't be afraid to report any infractions of the order to the police.

Of course he will not do such a thing,He said he will not let her go and she will have a long wait if he has to do anything.
It is Maryland law the she has to be married for a year before she can file for divorce!!!!

A weird thing which the attorney may or may not have mentioned -- The Soldier & Sailors Relief Act of 1940. It makes it hard to get default judgements.

Again, the removal of conditions has nothing to do with her marital status.

I ran this past Capt. Wilson ;0-)
They have had this problem in the Guard and he says, yes it is true. However, it does not apply in cases where violence is the cause of the divorce. If the daughter has called the police and filed charges, then that the basis needed for the divorce to proceed without having to wait the year under the Relief Act. Perhaps you might want to check that out with the attorney.

It wasn't until she moved back home did she manage to get the one year restraining order on him of which he appeared in court and admitted to abuse.
so now you can see what she is up against.

Well the blank blank comes anywhere near her and does anything I hope she calls the police quickly and files charges. Although if it were to happen, my prayers are that she is not hurt.
