Dear Members,
I have read a lot of conditional GC cases on the forums and my case is similar, but has unique situations. Hope to get good responses and guidance. Thanks in Advance.
I was married to US Citizen (She is from my country) in 2007 in US at church and followed by reception. Her and my family, relatives and friends were present for the marriage as well as for reception. I was on my company H1B till 2009 and she had asked to apply for status change. Got my conditional GC in Oct 2009. The expiration date is Oct 2011 on the card. Things are started changing from her and her family side. Not in a position to take it any more. She doesn't want children even. I do not see any future with her. We do not own any joint property. Their family is trying to take undue advantage of my state (because of this conditional GC) and want to squeeze benefits from me. But there is no material evidence to prove the same.
I have gone through various forums and found that it is very difficult to apply for wavier of joint filing for men. But somewhere I have read that It all depends on the attorney on my side. Kindly advice on the following situations:
1) Kindly suggest what is the best way to waive the condition? As I don't see the future in this relation, Is it good idea to initiate divorce from my side or wait till she initiates the process?
2) In case of divorce, Do I need to leave the country right away after the divorce or can wait till USCIS decision?
3) I do agree that each case is different and has different ending depending upon their luck. But being a human, we need to put out best. What are the qualities we need to look before hiring an attorney for these type of cases?
4) If I lost the case, can I come on my new H1B in future and apply employee based green card ? Will the past case impact my future prospects?
Once again thank you so much for taking your time in reading my case and hope to get some guidance.
Thanks!
Sunny
