Hi everyone, I'm having a really difficult time and would really appreciate any help. Long story short, my husband and I have been separated for about a year and a half now. We got married 2015 (met in 2014), and he sponsored my green card. I got approved for a 2 year conditional green card in April 2016, we were having problems shortly after we officially got married (financials, struggling to pay for our apartment, he was working for my uncle and they did not get along, etc, was just a lot going on). Then his mom who lives in NY got sick, he went home to take care of her. He told me he was staying in NY for a week. 1 week, 2 weeks went by I started freaking out. We talked on the phone, he said he had to stay a bit longer, his mom was really sick. I understood. But then he never came home. I came to find out he had an affair with someone in NY who he used to work with. I was devastated. I begged him to work things out, I was willing to forgive him for cheating on me, if he was willing to come back home to me. He'd make promises to me, but he wouldn't keep any. But then fast forward to a couple months later, I met someone. He's kind, loving, supportive, understanding of my situation. I gave him the option to leave, just because my situation is complicated. He wanted to stay. We fell in love. Recently, my husband reached out and wanted to file for a divorce. He wants to get married to his mistress. I only have a couple months left on my 2 year conditional green card. My question is, do I file for divorce? Can I re apply for a green card getting married to my boyfriend now after I divorce my husband? I didn't want to have to do it this way, but luck isn't exactly on my side when my husband wants to divorce me. The marriage is real and we did love each other, we just fell out of love. The only thing is, when he moved away from NY, I moved back to my aunt's because I couldn't afford living on my own and we have been living apart then so no proof that we live together other than the expired lease.
What should i do? I'm desperate for advice. Thanks so much!
