    Post Options Before Removing Conditions from a Spouse's Green Card

    My wife has been here for almost 2 years her conditional green card will be expired in 3 month. We have some serious marital problems. I think she just wanted to get her green card and then split! I did not abuse her a d took care of her always. She is 42 and I'm 65. Before I send the form to remove the conditions I like to know what I can do at this point I don't want to continue living with her. She constantly asking me for money that I don't have ! She wants a divorce and I know I'm not going to be able to afford that. Is there any way to prove that she is in this just to get the green card? Please help.

    If you're not happy in your marriage, you can seek a divorce.

    Note, divorce does not guarantee that your wife won't be able to remove the conditions from her permanent residency, nor does it let you off the hook for your I-864 promise to support her.

    You have not indicated that you have any evidence that she entered the marriage for an improper reason. If you don't know of any evidence, then there's certainly no way that we're going to know of any.

    You cannot afford NOT to get a divorce. Do it quickly before you lose anything more.

    Dear Know it all, I have treated my wife the best I can, but she has told all my good friends and her family that I beat her up and prisoned her at the house! There is no evidence of any violence or physical contact at all! She left me for 2 weeks say in I'm very dangerous but she came back home asking me to forgive her! She has promised me many time like this also, she has said to my good friends many times that she has no idea why she has married this old man with no money or cheap old man! I'm a retired s I hence teacher with a few old rental houses! I am not rich but live comfortably, she thinks I hide my money and has no clue that those bit up houses have expended and taxes! If I divorce her now I have to spend lots of money to support her for 10 years! She is working part time and she says she spends her money on my house and me! She gets paid $10 an hour a d we know that is not that much money! I can divorce her now but isn't that I have to support her for 10 years? Please someone e respond.

    Dear sinor member, what else can I lose, the alimony that goes to her for almost a year is only 250.00/month calculated by a good lawyer, I have nothing else to give her, my houses were bought before I married her! If you know something else that I don't know please let me know!

    You need to discuss your situation with a family law attorney with knowledge of immigration issues. You have an obligation to support her to 125% of the poverty level because of the affidavit of support you signed to bring her to the US. However, she may have financial obligations to you as part of a divorce settlement. GET AN ATTORNEY AND DO IT QUICKLY.

    It appears she has set you up and will claim you abused her, to get her Green Card. You will then be obligation by the Federal affidavit of support you signed to make up the difference between what she earns if anything and 125% of the poverty level. Get to an immigration lawyer fast.

    Is it better to divorce her after she gets her conditions removed for her green card?

    It is better to leave and divorce her now and pray to your God she does not invoke VAWA as a means to obtain a permanent green card and your support for the balance of 10 years.

    Dear disagreeable, she has called the local police a few times with no results at all, the town police has told her that there is no crime here and that please don't call us anymore unless there is a violent act! She has no evidence of violence or abuse as I said before I treated her with anything that she has desired in our marriage! She wanted a big wedding even though we were married three years ago in a different country, I did xped $25000.00 to have a big wedding back in last May of this year! I bought her nice jeweleries all along. She wants more every day and if I don't give her what she wants she would make me measurable for that day! What kind of laws are there to support me? I'm in a big puzzle and I can't understand it!
