Hello!

My husband is an american citizen and after 2 years of a long distance relationship he decided to bring me here and get married.
We have been married for 2 and half years where he has been very rude and verbal abusive. We are going for couple counseling and the doctor said he is not ok. But I told her about my immigration situation, where I have a temporal GC for 2 years and I have to apply again in October 2007.
This morning, my husband told me that our relationship is not working, that he doesn't love at all and I should leave.
I called to the USCIS office to ask about my status but they told me I have to send my paperwork again for the Permanent GC, because in the consulate of my country they can not take my temporal GC in exchange for a tourist visa.
What can I do?

One option is that you can submit the I-751 for removal of conditions (in order to receive your 10-year green card) once your divorce is final.

Best Wishes,

I'll tell you the exact same thing I told you on October 21 when you first asked this question:

Divorce him... and do it right now. Your status right now is "permanent resident", but you must still apply to have the conditions removed on your green card. You can do this by yourself... you don't need him for that - but you must be divorced first. Leave the bastard and start doing things for yourself.

I agree with, Ian.

Download the I-751 (http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-751.pdf) and read the
instructions. They quite clearly states that you should submit evidence that
you entered into the marriage in good faith. The fact that the instructions
for the I-751 also tell you to submit a copy of the divorce decree is a good
indication that you will not be the first, or last to file for removal of
conditions due to divorce. If what you say is true (and I have no reason to
doubt what you say), then submit evidence to show you married in good faith
and why the marriage failed.I understand that what you are going through is
very stressful, but the reality is if you want to stay in the USA then you
need to divorce and file the I-751. The sooner the better.

I really appreciate your advices, it is very very scary right now, I alone here and I got married for the rest of my life!!! anyway...life is like that and I should better protect myself from this guy.

Thank you so much!

Hi lublu,

Immigration laws can force you to make some tough decisions and the truth
may not be what you want to hear, but people here want to help. If you have
questions then please (after some reasonable research :-) ask and we will
try to help.

All the best,

Austinman
