Legal Question in Immigration Law in New York
I got married in October 2007 to a US born citizen, i then had to return to my home country to await my immigration interview, which i have since passed (June 2009) and received my temporary green card. I have returned to the US but have discovered that my husband has filed an unconstested divorce. How does this affect me getting my permanent green card?

It'd be difficult to do, however, it could be possible. After divorce, you can apply to remove conditions from residence and request a waiver based on a good faith marriage which ended in divorce.
You will have to provide lots of evidence of bona fides of your marriage and life together as a married couple.
If approved, you will get a permanent green card valid for 10 years. If denied, you will be referred to immigration court for removal (deportation).
It usually takes about 6 months only to get a decision. But it's very important to prepare a stong application packet with lots of supporting documents.
