First, I'd like to say this site is an amazing place. It was so incredibly helpful to me when I was trying to get my foreign fiance over to the states, and I really could not have done it without the help from perfect strangers on this site.
Unfortuntely things go south, as has my relationship with my wife. I am a USC, she had PR status but we moved to her country before Adjustment, so the status is likely void. She cheated, left me for a friend, and I moved back to the States.
We've been split for two years, I am in the US, she is in her home country with no intention of trying to retain or regain any sort of immigration status. I'm assuming the divorce process should be quite simple, but I've put it off for so long because, after a year or so of trying to rectify the marriage, I just would rather not think about her, or it. But now's the time.
I've read a lot on this sub-forum, but MY GOD it is so sad and I just can't do it anymore. Any chance someone could help me out once again and let me know what to do about this? Can I just file papers in my county and it's done, or does she have to come here? I'd really rather not see her again.
I cannot afford a lawyer, and even the divorce fee in my county is troublesome (Wisconsin).
What to do, what to do?
Thank you all again so much! There is good in this world, and I found it on this site many years ago.
