im married and my husband visa has lapsed for over 180 days omg!

[newacct 688]

He was a perminant resident and now thats lapsed

Do you mean he was a conditional (i.e. 2-year) permanent resident, and he didn't file for Removal of Conditions? Because otherwise a non-conditional permanent residency cannot lapse.

It sounds like your husband has a Greencard (one that was good for 10 years). That means he is a Legal PERMANENT Resident. That means that even though his card expired, he is still a Legal PERMANENT Resident. His card expiring is not a big deal. He can just get a new one.

If he got his Greencard through his marriage to you, just in the last few years, then that would be different.

Even tho it has been exspired for more than a year and its good for 13 years i found out it exspired sometime in 2011

so he got the card when he was 13, and it expired when he was 23?

OK - that's a 10 year greencard.

Sorry, I am clueless for further advice.

If he beats you, there is a 99% chance he will beat your child. So that's your deal. There aren't remedies for him unless he has another qualifying relative. If he has an employee to sponsor him he can only be out of status for 180 days, not more under Section 245k. I don't think you are gonna get a lot of child support from an abusive spouse. Having been divorced from one myself, believe me I speak from experience - the longer you and your child are attached to him, the longer you will both suffer.

This post screams crazy.... If you're talking to a lawyer already they can advise you. If he's over staying and there's an order of protection and he breaks that he could technically be deported. So having the order of protection, but yet wanting him to stay around doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I kind of have a feeling that might be the norm for you.

Immigrationand you your child and support are different items, have your divorce attorney get on it if he/she is not. If he leaves the country you will probably not see a dime. At this point you have no control on his immigration.

no one could give you an answer because you left out the most important details about your husband's immigration status until 3 posts ago on this page. difficult for people to give advice without knowing specifics

i didn't know it was possible to have a ten-year green card followed by a two-year green card.

Believe me everyone as im finding out new stuff im posting thats why there is a slight delay but thats what im trying to figure out cause i feel he may have just forged his documents cause when we got into it he went to his mothers and when she found out i had a protective order she kicked him out and i know that his family is all not from the usa so idk if they wanted the heat on them

So let me get this straight if you have a ten year card how long do you have to get a new one?
