I am not in USA and I am looking at options if I want to come back and start my life there , he applied for annulment and fraud bases an do left country after two weeks without fighting or responding to it . Now I am regretting , I should have fought . Is my green card invalid due to his accusations ?

If annulment has been filed and approved it would be like there was no marriage. Unlike a divorce it would show you were married at one time,and would have to prove that you entered marriage in good faith.but annulment wipes everything clean pretty much

Technically you are in breach of the conditions of the GC by not being married and would file ROC immediately after it was final. They would only revoke your GC if they were informed of it.

The problem is, you said you didn't fight or respond, which likely means the annulment was granted, and you said it was petitioned based on the grounds of FRAUD. Even though your GC is most likely still currently valid, you will need to file ROC and prove you entered the marriage in good faith. As the marriage was annuled, and on the grounds of fraud, I don't think your chances are high to get the 10 year card.

The moment your marriage doesn't exist anymore, the conditions that got you the "conditional" Green Card, being married to a US citizen, do not exist anymore. The law requires you to file for Removal of Conditions immediately. If your husband notifies the USCIS that the marriage is over, they will eventually come for you.

Now . . . since you left the United States two weeks (?) after getting your Green Card and have not returned since (?), you will have a hard time proving that your marriage was flourishing until things went sour. In addition, the Certificate of Annulment, if it states "fraud" as the reason, will stop you like a fist in the face. Immigration fraud, if signed off by a judge, means you will not becoming back to the United States in this lifetime.

Unfortunately it's not the living in the states for 6 months, or leaving right away... it's the not fighting the annulment based on fraud. Not only did it most likely get approved, but you left soon after he filed it which honestly, makes you look guilty. I understand why you left, i would have too, it just doesn't look good.
