Hello! I have 80 days left until my Green Card expires, therefore I must apply for the extension. However, we decided to get a divorce because things are getting very bad. I have read several somewhat similar topics here, but they were a little bit outdated, can anyone please tell me the steps I need to take?

This is hard for me, and reading about the process makes it even harder. I am not sure I am ready for the divorce, I would like to have some time to think about this, but I understand that I have no time, so can anyone please help me?

3/23/2012 (Day 0) - I-130, I-485 and I-765 sent
4/02/2012 (Day 11) - Hard Copy of NOA1 in the mail of I-130, I-485 and I-765
4/04/2012 (Day 13) - Received a letter for biometrics appointment for 4/20/2012.
4/20/2012 (Day 29) - Biometrics done
5/03/2012 (Day 42) - Status online changed to interview, scheduled for June 11
5/16/2012 (Day 55) - EAD Card Production, online status update
5/24/2012 (Day 63) - EAD Card in the mail
6/11/2012 (Day 83) - Interview, approved on the spot

Sorry to hear that.

First thing to decide is whether you want to stay in the US. It seems you do. Hopefully, you have also given consideration to how you would live here on your own (because you noted that you are not ready...no one ever is)

Also, hopefully, you and your husband are in amicable terms and there are no children involved. That takes some of the hardship out.

As you know, in most if not all states, filing for divorce can be under no fault, that is, you can't stop it

You still have about 2 1/2 months to file for ROC; but I wouldn't wait to the last minute. I would still prepare the filing and have it ready. It takes effort and time to prepare it, you don't want to do this at the last minute.

Here is a similar case. You would file on your own as divorced (even though you are not yet). The main difference between your case and the one below is that a divorce petition was filed already.
