The important part is that I didn't come back on my OWN, just because I wanted to, he ASKED me to come back in 2 months' time to try to live together and to give it another start.

Except for his being cold we still went to amusement parks, caving, played games and watched movies, etc together. I thought we were going to work at our relationship.

Now I realize that I am the one who was trying to work at it, he hasn't. I have no idea what he has been doing since I came last time and what has been going in his mind. Maybe it was convenient to him that he had a free housekeeper/cooker, a game partner, etc, maybe he was a coward to say he didn't want another start and was hoping it would just go somwhere by itself, but was afraid of spoiling any relationship with me and never see me again, all I can say is that right now it's over because as soon as his siters knew I am here they obviously had a talk with him and he started dating other women with me being here.

I knew that I could file another petition by myself after divorce, the point was not to start a life here by myself, I was hoping we would get married again within 2 years'GC time.

I understand that it's time to move on now. I just wanted to figure out which way to go.

Thank you for your responses , guys.

I understand he asked you to, and it sucks because I agree, he got all the benefit and owes you nothing.

Doesn't matter if you got re-married in the 2 year greencard time. They would still have required you to file with a waiver because the ORIGINAL relationship doesn't exist anymore. If you had got re-married to him you wouldn't have been approved on a joint petition because you divorced, meaning your relationship wasn't viable and they're more likely to suspect he re-married you to help you out (rather than out of love) OR even worse, that the original relationship was false and revoke your GC all together (which I doubt but is still possible).

You must file ROC immediately.

Part of a divorce is the issue of spousal support. You are entitled to whatever the judge or you and your husband agreed on. I hope you have that in writing.

And depending on the state you are. Some states are community property which means that assets acquired during marriage are 50-50 split between spouses, regardless of who actually paid for it; but same for debts (that is, each spouse is responsible 50-50 unless a separation agreement was written and filed at time of applying for divorce).

Part of a divorce proceeding is the inclusion of an agreement that spells who gets what and spousal support, etc. This agreement is commonly done when the spouses are parting amicable; which doesn't seem your case, in which the judge will decide based on the merits of the petitions for each party. Seems that you should secure an attorney if you have not yet. It does seem that funds are not available for that, however, in almost every major city, there are advocacy groups that help immigrants, women, etc on a pro-bono basis (meaning you would not pay). I would advice to contact one of those if you do not have an attorney.

Hope this helps.

The OP is already divorced. This is moot for her but may help someone else.
