This can not be serious. Your husband isn't a puppy from the pound "Since I don't want him anymore why don't he go back?".
You said you wany a divorce, get out the room sleep on couch and find a new place. He said okay. Ummmm sounds like a level headed man to me. You seem to be the one doing nothing to help the situation or marriage.

He is not something you bought at the mall. You made him a permanent resident and now he has the same right to live in the US as all others.
Must be a troll.

Or maybe he's being logical and planning ahead. If you suffer from anxiety and depression you need to get help not just abandon your family life because the two clearly don't mix. Have you thought your husband might also be working so much because he also doesn't know how to cope with or manage your anxiety and depression either?
EDIT: Why should he 'go back'? He's built a life here the past three years. Sounds like you're the one who's changed.

Oh wow how entitled are you?! The man works his fingers to the bone and because you don't like how he's supporting his family you not only threw divorce in his face you want him shipped away from where he's clearly worked hard to build a life.
You can't have him deported and hopefully he moves on without you.

Our package arrived in Vermont on Friday and the check cleared through the bank tuesday evening. Now we are waiting on the letter.

You're in the wrong area but I'll answer your question. You need to file no earlier than 90 days before your greencard expires. Your date of marriage doesn't matter.

Checks got debited from account.. Waiting for NOA..

I was wrong calculating 90 days. I thought before 3months of GC anniversary . I mailed my I-751 on 26th but my eligibility date is 29th July. Thanks to USPS for updating my scheduled delivery date to 30th July.
User this calendar if any one have issues with eligibility date

Several years ago my husband (then fiance) came on a K1 visa. The adjustment was super difficult. He went through severe culture shock, there was a struggle with my parents, planning a wedding and some financial issues. I felt 100% responsible for everyone's unhappiness and it put a real strain on our relationship. Ultimately, he decided to go back to his country and we would continue our relationship leading to marriage. I can't say it was the smartest decision we made when we look back on it, AOS and his ability to work would have changed the situation, and just waiting it out. We ended up marrying in his country several months later, and I decided to go live with him. We had a son and later filed for an IR-1 and recently came back to the states. When he came he was able to get a job almost immediately, nothing very lucrative, but it contributes wonderfully as a joint income and it makes him happy and he feels more productive. We are MUCH happier, I think a huge part is for us was spending that time married together in his country and putting everything else to the side ! I know this isn't ideal for everyone, but it worked for us. Good luck to you.

I'm in Minnesota, too! It's a wonderful place to live It's completely normal to feel stressed and a little unsure after moving to a whole new country with all new people and not being able to work or support yourself. You need to give it time - you only just arrived! Until you can file AOS and begin working, find other activities to take your mind off things. Minnesota is FULL of great things to do, and there are tons of ways to meet new people. As for your spouse, just sit down and have a conversation about how you are feeling. When I moved to Mexico to be with my husband we had a conversation about the adjustment process and how things were going... Not only did it bring us closer, but it helped us to make a plan to help in my adjustment process and strengthened our relationship.
Now, when my husband gets here from Mexico (CR-1 visa), perhaps we can all go out to celebrate
Keep your chin up! And make sure you have the conversation with your wife - while it may seem pretty clear that moving countries is a big challenge, it's not always the easiest to grasp, especially if it is new for the both of you and she is having struggles as well. Be sure to ask how she is feeling about things, too.

It takes time. When my husband got here, we had that same problem. We have decided to do marriage counseling which has helped immensely. It's a lot of change. Even for people who live in the same country, same state, and same town when you move in with somebody it's totally different. So now take in cultural changes, personality traits, moving away from your family, adjusting to a new life for both of you, the fears you both have, it's normal. You guys have to learn how to manage the fights and not let the fights manage you. It sucks, but you're not alone. You have your VJ family.
