Need Help: GC condition removal

[psk23]

I need help. My conditional GC is expiring in 2 months which I got after marriage 2 yrs back. Since then he keep demanding something or other. Now he is threatening me that unless I will join him in my Indian bank accounts & my father's house, he will not file to remove condition of green card. He knows as my conditional GC will expire, I will leave have to US & he can divorce me & remarry. He is a very angry person & says that if I dare to complain to any one or police, he will prove that I married him through fraud & will send me to jail & then deportation. I am well aware that he can actually do that because he knows very well how to play with laws & has money to hire good lawyers, so never gathered courage to tell anyone & accepted as my destiny. I have no family except my widow mother who lives in India

I am completely dependent on him & he keeps a strict watch on me & my emails since his first wife ran away due to his paranoid suspecting nature without informing & managed to get divorce from him after 8 yrs though she was independent GC holder. I never knew all this & married him. After his first divorce experience, he never leave any evidence of this demands & behaviour except that I have secretly taken few pictures of my injuries & bruises when he abused me.
I don't mind leaving US but since he married me for dowry & never had good intentions, I want to ensure that he should not be allowed to trap next girl to remarry & get dowry again for processing her green card. I feel that I won't be able to do anything against him once I leave USA since he is US citizen & employed here.
Please can some one advise what shall I do? Shall I give in to his demands, get GC and continue tolerating him OR quitely leave him & go back to India. In either case, my future is completely dark. Please help me.

I'm sorry that you're in this situation. It depends on what you want in the future. If you don't mind living in India and give up on your American dream, by all means, divorce him. You don't have to be trapped in a violent relationship. On the other hand you can still pursue that American dream even without this man that you married. Divorce him, then maybe you'll find another love, or go to the US by another means like employment-based petition. Have you ever been employed? What's your degree ?

I suggest you to do followings:

0. DO NOT THINK about going back to INDIA. I know that if would be very difficult to have a good life for a divorced girl in INDIA.
1. DON'T include him on your or your parents property in INDIA. This leach will kick you out after getting control of property and you will be left with nothing.
2. If he abuses you, Call police and file a complaint against him. This will help you to remove condition under ABUSED SPOUSES.
3. Record his abusive conversation as a proof.
4. Be brave. He can not sent you to Jail. I hope that you did not marry him for green card.
5. Collect proofs (police reports in case he tortures you / Abusive Recordings) against him in case you end up going to immigration court.
6. Try to find a job and learn to live independently. Be aware of the Wolf's.

If you never called 911 nor went to the police, you're in a tough spot. It will be hard for you to prove those injuries weren't self inflicted. That's why we have that thing called police.

In any case - and quoting from the USCIS page:

There are three situations when the law allows conditional residents the option to request a waiver of the requirement that you and your spouse file jointly to request removal of the conditions. 1) The removal of a conditional resident from the U.S. would result in extreme hardship; OR 2) The marriage was legally terminated, other than by death, and the applicant was not at fault for failing to file a timely application to remove the conditional residency; OR 3) During the marriage the U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse subjected the conditional resident to battery or extreme cruelty. All three waivers are filed on Form I-751 and require you to prove your marriage was in “good faith” and not fraudulent.

Do a Google search for "Information on the Legal Rights Available to Immigrant Victims of Domestic Violence in the United States and Facts about Immigrating on a Marriage-Based Visa Fact Sheet". Considering the kind of situation you're in, it may be a good idea to do such a search on a public library computer - or at least, using the "private browsing mode" available in browsers like Firefox/Chrome.

Good luck.
