A green card is for living in the US. If you move back to India you have no need for a green card. To obtain the green card she must cooperate with the process. If she pulls the affidavit of support or refuses to attend the interview (if you have one) your green card will not be approved. To maintain the green card, should you get one, you must live in the US (at least more than 6 months out of the year), pay US taxes on all worldwide income, and maintain ties to the US. You could obtain a re-entry permit which will allow you to remain out of the US for up to two years with good reason.

Again, a green card is for living in the US.

What process? Divorce

All you need to do is jump on a plane and go home. She can take care of the divorce with or without you......

Buy a ticket and go, presumably you could file in India if she does not do so in the US.

Please be clear about what process you are talking about.

Separating requires packing a bag and leaving. Divorce without kids is going to be a matter of months. The adjustment of status sounds like it is imminent, but if you want to live in India instead of the USA you don't need it.

If you just want to go back to India, and no interest in USA, buy an airline ticket and go back!

But you would have a hard time returning..,.,.,.

Best of luck in your travels!

We have no Kids together, she has a son from her first marriage but I want to go through the whole legal process of divorce, can this is done from India or do I have to be here in the US.

Next time be clear about what you're asking, your original post didn't mention divorce just the AOS process and left us all scratching our heads. Go home if that's what you want, you don't need to be here for the divorce. No one can tell you how long it will take as there are many determining factors
