Hello all, I never in a million years imagined I would be writing this, but here I am. I am from Canada and my American husband and I have been together since 2013. We did long distance for 5 years before starting the K-1 Visa process in 2017 to bring me to the USA. We've been married for almost 2 years now. I moved to the US exactly two years ago today, from Canada. We had a huge wedding (for my family & friends) back in Canada in October 2019. Since March of this year, after many major disagreements, and trying hard to make it work, we finally accepted the fact that we are not compatible, we want to live two completely different lives (he is extremely antisocial) and the marriage is just not going to work. He has also been extremely emotionally & verbally abusive which has taken a massive toll on my self-worth and happiness (things I overlooked because I was blinded by love.) Due to Covid, and trying to be financially responsible, we are still living together and will for another few months. We are currently living as roommates, mostly amicable, and we both equally realize our marriage will not work. My two-year conditional Green Card is good for one more year. It will expire in July 2021. Realistically, I will likely be moving out and getting my own place at the end of the year/the beginning of 2021. I'm torn on what to do...do I push for us to get divorced quickly, and apply for the i-175 once the divorce is final, (in Maryland we can hopefully get an absolute, no fault divorce completed within 3 months) or do I see if we can delay the divorce, and then file the i-175 jointly for my Green Card renewal, and then divorce afterwards? I don't want to do anything deceitful. I have decided that I do want to stay living in the US. I have a great paying job here and I feel like I could have an overall better life here, then I would back in Canada. What are my best chances on being able to stay in the US? The marriage and relationship was 100% real, and I truly thought I would be with him for the rest of my life, but it just has not worked out that way. It's grim because I'm 39 and it's not the best point in life to end up divorced with no kids, but this is what will be. I also really want to try to do everything on my own, without an immigration attorney. I did everything on my own so far, for this process and I had no problems. This forum has been such a great help to me in the past, so naturally I came here to seek guidance. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

What would be grounds to adjust status? I, the beneficiary am in the US with my husband the petitioner. He is currently filing the petition. However, we were wondering if I am able to adjust status. My husband has a debilitating genetic disease and I take care of him. Also Because of covid I cannot go back and stay with my elderly parents where I was staying before any help would be greatly appreciiated!

A few questions - any help would be greatly appreciated! 1. when uploading the 2x2 passport photos, can I upload a photo (iphone) of them both? or do they have to be scanned? Also we don't have "A" numbers, do we just leave the back blank, or sign and date? 2. When filling out the I-130a, is it ok to upload a copy that isn't signed, and then upload just the signature page, that is signed and scanned? 3. Are facebook posts/ instagram posts/ cards (received and given) good evidence to provide? thanks so much!
