Legal Question in Immigration Law in Texas

I have a friend who happens to be in the country illegally. She married a US citizen well over 5 years ago. They had a child together who is a US citizen. While married the husband applied for her green card, meanwhile he would verbally and physically abuse her. She ended up divorcing him a little more than two years ago. She has custody of their child who is now 3 years old. Because of the divorce he stopped the process to legalize her. What if anything can be done to reopen the case? Thank you for taking the time to read this!

She will need to consult with an attorney to discuss her options if a full two years have passed from the final divorce decree. If it is not quite a full two years, she needs to move quickly to file before the two years has passed.

A consultation may also be able to review any other possible options she may have, depending upon the exact facts of her situation.
