Hello my Dear Friends!

In my current situation I really need Help!!!

Little bit about my self. I am Ukrainian. In 2000 I met my husband and then we got married . Came to America in 2001, we lived here for 4 years and then we moved to Ukraine, in 2012 we decided to go back to US, my husband came first and now we (me and our daughter) came here too.

After we arrived in September 2014 a few days later, I find out that my husband has another woman and it looks like he is not going to try to save our family, even though he knows her only a few months. Big SHOCK for me!!! :crying::crying::cry::cry:

He is willing to help us with everything right now.

You will probably ask, then why did he bring us here. Well, I had same question too. In Ukraine we have a war right now and we lived in a region where is mostly danger. So he said that it is safe here and we have a better future in America (because my first thought was to go back, I don't know what is actually better at this point, stay here and go through this pain or go back..........) So this is a reason why we are here.

My questions are: Can I divorce him or we have to stay married for two years ? What is my rights and what can I do if anything ?

Thank you for any advice !!!

Do U love im & want him...have U had a hearth to hearth with him

on getting some counseling, he should be told the grass can

look greener on the other side and its not, also think about

his daughter....If he wants out yes U can divorce him, ask for

half, full custody and good child support.He will do it to her

too, move on

Never deny him access to his daughter or badmouth him to her

and get U a job new friends, meet other parents at your daughters

school, stay positive and vibrant for your daughter and be very aware

who is the next person U bring in both of you loves it will work out.

.Yes its safer here now due to te war

Do you have a conditional green card or the 10-year?

You should have the 10-year. You were married more than two years before issuance of your green card.

Therefore, you should not have any issues.

What is your daughter's status? Did she get her green card along with you? Was she perhaps born while you were in the USA initially, and thereby is a citizen? Perhaps she is a citizen because her father is one (I don't know anything about that stuff).

I'd check with USCIS or with an immigration lawyer, but I wouldn't be sweating bullets for right now. If you have the conditional green card, I guess I'd want to know why. I don't think you should.

Thank you so much for your reply!!!!

We should get green card for 10 years any days now. As soon our daughter will get her green card, she can become a US citizen.

Yes, I am willing to work it out, I am willing to go to the family counseling, but he doesn't have time (because of his work) nor money for it.
