Removal of conditions
I have a quessie, and I don't find it has been answered anywhere, or I didn't find it.
If your conditional status is about to expire, but you are only now starting divorce proceedings, and the OH won't file jointly, what is the recourse? Do you have to wait for removal proceedings so you can explain it to an IJ or what is the way from here?

If you are getting divorced, you are *not* permitted to file to remove conditions jointly. You have to get divorced first and then file for a waiver to remove conditions on your own.
I think a consultation with an immigration attorney might be a good idea.
btw, this has been covered here a few times - if you do a search you should come up with a few threads relating to people who have been through this.
Sorry about your bad news...

Now, while you have the opportunity, gather together all the documentation you can to demonstrate that you did enter the marriage in good faith. You may not have an opportunity to get this stuff later on.
