You may choose to consult a divorce lawyer and immigration lawyer.

If your wife has a permanent green card, there is nothing you can do.

If your wife has a conditional green card, she might be able to apply to remove conditions from residency without your assistance.

You shall keep in mind that you remain her sponsor even after divorce (Affidavit of support form I-864 that you signed as part of her application process).

Hello:

I am sorry to hear about your divorce.

Unfortunately, if your wife already has a permanent green card, there is not much you can do.

Even if she has only a conditional green card, she may be able to remove those conditions on her own, if the divorce is finalized. Additionally, since you signed an affidavit of support for her, you are financially responsible for her even after you divorce.

I wish I had better news for your.
