I am a wife of an illegal resident, he had been here 10 years illegally before marriage. We married and I sponsored his GC, he was approved for 2 year conditional GC.
He has now been arrested for domestic violence misdemeanor (state of California)
I did not press for a restraining order, I don't think he will harm me. He has an emotional problem.
Anyways I'm about to pop out our first kid, so if I file for divorce now, and/or restraining order and divorce, will he be deported?
Will he lose GC status immediately or only after 2 years when they review it? In that case I'd be happy to testify that we did indeed enter the marriage on good faith since I am/was madly in love with him, but abuse is unacceptable and this is the third time (second time cops came out, first time they arrested him)
So I'm trying to figure out.. should I file for divorce? I don't want him to be deported and never see his kid, on the other hand, he will have no rights beyond when and where I am/agree to.
Should I not file a restraining order?
I am confused now, I dont want to ruin babies chances of seeing her father. I don't mind staying married but separated on the contingency he does only supervised appearances to the kid. I'd almost be willing to stay wiht him to see if he can get mood stabilizers but anger management and counseling didn't work well enough, so it's unlikely that will.
