My Husband is a US Citizen. He filed divorce and I received summons and came to this country on a immigrant visa as I did not wanted divorce and I got divorce summons in my country and came here for hearing. My husband received my biometrics appointment letter on his address and he did not gave it to me. I have alien number on my passport with stamp. I hired a lawyer for my case and he is fighting for that. But Alternatively He filed VAWA for me as I went through domestic violence also. And I got my Prima facia. I consulted some other lawyer and he said that VAWA was not needed as I already had my temporary green card. My visa category is CR1. I have certain doubts , Please clear them:

1) Is my Alien number and Stamp on my passport serves as a Temporary green card?

2) Do I have conditional green card? Or I can schedule my biometrics appointment to get a green card?

3) Does divorce will affect my conditional Green card ? However my attorney has filed VAWA too for mental, verbal & physical abuse and I recieved prima facia . I am not satisfied with my attorney that's why need to know that divorce will affect my green card which is conditional ? I consulted with some other lawyer and he told me that there was no need to file VAWA as I already have conditional green card status.

4.) If VAWA is denied then i can stay here with my old alien number( conditional green card number ) ?

5) Does VAWA related to my original temporary green card ?

1. Yes, for one year.

2. It will be sent to the address USCIS has in file- you need to file change of address if your lawyer hasn't yet.

3/4/5. Other lawyer is correct- you arrived on a spousal immigrant visa, no need for VAWA.
