this is wrong, he can absolutely apply to remove conditions on his own with a divorce waiver. He cannot lie and stay married until it's time to remove conditions with his wife for the sake of getting the green card, it would be visa fraud to do so. There is a divorce waiver for a reason and exactly for situations like this.
As Teddy said this is the most screwed up thread, ever. So many people guessing and giving wrong answers. If people don't know the answer, then just shut up. Seriously.
OP you can 100% file for divorce now and remove conditions now with a divorce waiver. Make sure you gather as much evidence as you can to prove you married in good faith and evidence proving you were indeed living together as a married couple. Do not listen to the advice of people here who are telling you to stay married to your wife and wait until after the 10 year GC is received. Lying to immigration in order to get a green card is what will get you deported. The minute they find out you stayed married just so you can get a green card, game over. Hire a divorce attorney and take care of the divorce FIRST, then you can deal with removing conditions with a waiver. As long as you do things by the book and don;t lie you will not lose your green card. Good luck
