You can apply for mutual consent divorce in USA as both of you are living in USA . Which state of USA you are living ? as state laws of each state are different otherwise you can file a contesting or mutual divorce against your husband in India but Indian laws does not permit to file for divorce within 1 year of marriage but you still can take a chance by moving an application u/s 14 of Hindu Marriage act by giving a cogent reason for you to file for Divorce within one year of your marriage. Engage a good matrimonial lawyer to guide you in your difficult time .

You can file a petition for divorce in India as u were married in India. You can file the same even if you in US at present. A POA needs to be executed for this purpose.
