[Meenakshi Dogra]

Hello
I have just got my conditional green card its been only a year to our marriage and i have been with my husband and his family for roughly 3 months all together.
But i have already starting hating them all and i just cant stand a look of my husband. It was an arrange marriage i knew him only for 2 3 days before we go married he is 8 years older than me he is 32 i never liked him but my family decided that we should get married, even we have not consummated our marriage yet he had no idea how to i have been trying to make him understand it but he is ignorant and he is an Idiot
I just want to get out of this marriage or i would go crazzy i have been having crazy thoughts of doing things that r wrong. Is there some way that i can get divorce and still stay in USA i cant go back to India Ill die of shame and all the questions that i will never be able to answer.
Is there some cheap lawyer whose help i can take i don't have money i have not got job yet

You stated that you entered into an arranged marriage, and based on that you will not be able to remove conditions on your residence and you may be permanently barred from obtaining a green card as well as criminally prosecuted. Contact an immigration attorney.

Meenakashi,
I am sorry that you are in this situation. But in your situation it would be very difficult for you to get permanent green card. If you divorce now, you will waste thousands of dollars on Lawyers and many many years of pain and suffering. My friend who came here in 2008 and was divorced after few months is stilling waiting for his green card. He has a well paying job. He applied to remove GC condition in 2010. But after two years it was rejected and he was asked to leave the country. He filed an appeal with BOA and waiting for hearing. He has a very strong case because his father-in-law and other relatives gave him notarized affidavit regarding good faith marriage. Besides all this he has given up all the hopes on getting green card through previous wife and now he is going to marry a canadian citizen.
If you are very unhappy with your marriage and do not want to go back, then you have to wait till you get permanent GC.

euro26 Arranged marriage is not what you think. It is a common practice in India where parents and other relatives arrange for the couple to meet and get married.

Unfortunately, Meenakshi, you will not be able to maintain the green card unless you have the conditions removed. Consult an experienced attorney for more information.

Card Marriage

So, to sum it up, it is very obvious that the marriage took place with her consent in the first place (perhaps with the "Dream America" vision)
I'm an Indian so I know how Indian marriages work and nowadays they donot happen without girl's consent, ofcourse excluding some extremely backward areas in some states.

So now that she has landed to US, she wants to end the marriage> Fine and Understood as they are her personal reasons.
But at the same time wants to stay in the United States and retain the Green Card as well> Why?

There are bad stories about Foreign Grooms and rarely Foreign Brides.
But Desi Brides/Grooms are equally effectively tarnishing the Image and Reputation as a whole and as a result others suffer because of the stricter policies that are introduced by USCIS later.

she can still remove the condition from her green card but she has to prove that the marriage was in bona fide, which is going to be hard since there is going to be a divorce
