I have many questions and hoping someone can shed some light for me:

My husband's green card expires this year and I have been trying to get a divorce for a while now. He claims he doesn't want to until he renews his card. Is that really a deciding factor on his renewal?

On a side note, he has moved out of my condo, and has been living with someone else for almost 2 years now. He also has been working in other states and I honestly don't know where he is most of the time.

Nor do I even want to know, as we have been more like roommates, not a couple for a very long time.

He claims to have some idea but never does his research.  He has promised to file for an uncontested/amicable divorce without support, and yet is dragging his feet.

so why don't you file for divorce

 

if he needs to remove conditions, he can remove as divorced, or if he has the 10 year GC, it is irrelevant if he is divorced or not.

 

you couldn't help him anyway because you don't live with him,  if he had to renew his 2 year GC

 

you could have divorced him at any time, so both of you have been dragging your feet

Does he have to renew his 10 year GC or does he have to remove conditions (2 year GC). If he has to remove conditions, then him not being married to you is a big role in the process, however, it is not a show stopper. He could proceed with a divorce waiver. But divorced from you makes things more difficult for him, not impossible. So if he wants you to "play along" until he gets his new GC then it would be under false pretenses.

 

If it is renewing a 10 year GC, then you and him being divorced does not matter at all.

 

Point being, if you want an end to the relationship, don't hold out because of him. File the divorce so you can move on with your life. Immigration is his problem now.

I would:

1.  Seek happiness for myself

2.  Forget about his Green card.

 

Move on with your own life, and let him solve his own problems.......just my opinion.
