Hi, 

straight to the point, I have a friend she is from europe and she was asking me for advice regarding her matter.

She is married to african american and she got her 2 years conditional green card through this marriage, lately her husband started stealing money from her and also selling stuff in the house and he started using perks and drugs, also stealing her cheques and threatening her to send her home if she does not give him what he wants.  the girl works 3 jobs while he does nothing and he is been to jail due to selling drugs in the past and now she is going through hell with him as every time he asks her for money or he will not sign the form for the green card and send her back home.  Now, he is stayng in the apartement and she wants to release it but he does not want to leave the house ?  

 

she wants to divorce him and also does not want to lose her green card and she has proves that he stole her credit cards and write cheques on her name without her permission. 

 

Please advice on how to proceed and make sure she does not get deported if she divorces him. she she inform the police as she does not want to get him in trouble as he already has a bad background but want to divorce him.

If she already has a conditional green card, then she can divorce fine. She will still need to file for ROC, but can do so with a divorce waiver. She needs to prove to USCIS that she entered into the marriage in good faith.

 

Edit: There's no way for him to "send her home" or anything like that. At worse, he can choose to send evidence to USCIS that she entered into the marriage just to get a green card. If that evidence (actual documentation...not just his words) doesn't exist, then there's really nothing he can do.
