What about the people who filed for removal and they were not divorced yet?what if he doesn`t want to file for her? i did read some examples here but i can`t find them right now...

what does she need to do? she`s pretty desperate, she has kids and no income....i don`t know what to tell her?

It is problematic. Has she filed for divorce? Is he willing to file removal of conditions with her? Not sure what he doesn't want her to file I would still recommend that she seek legal counsel. Many cities have legal aid that could assist her.

Yes, of course there are people that have separated before, and ended marriages. The issue is normally quite simple. The alien should consult with a family law specialist to enquire of the laws concerning divorce in their area. Normally, the alien can either file for divorce imeediately so that the divorce is over prior to the deadline for submission to remove conditions, or she waits until that petition has been jointly-filed and then proceeds with the divorce. As far as I can see, if she is resident in Virginia, there may be a mandatory one-year separation prior to both a no-fault or a fault divorce being granted. So, if she is not able to get that one year of separation in and the divorce underway so that it will be final prior to the submission deadline, then she has little else but to keep her intentions private; hope that her husband will file with her, and then replace the jointly-filed petition witha waiver, once the divorce is completed. Either way you look at it, she had better either get separated right away if there is time to complete it and the divorce prior to the filing deadline, or stay put and hope that her husband will co-operate.

The alternative involves terminating the marriage for cause (adultery being the ground) and hope that she will not be placed in removal proceedings before she can get this marriage over with. She must consult an attorney to check the alws specific to her area, and remember that separation requires that one of the parties resides elsewhere (no conjugal visits).

Thank you all for answering!

Unfortunately she can`t rely on her husband for filling for her to remove condition...he already told he that she has to leave when her green card expires....she doesn`t have time to wait for divorce because in couple of months she has to apply for remove conditions....she has no income and small kids...she went to a lawyer that asked an enormous price...where she can find help with a lawyer?she can go on welfare? they help her with a place to stay? who she has to contact for that, or where to go?

Tell her to look up the local chapter of Catholic Human Charities, as they can provide her with resources for pro bono legal assistance
