Re: immigration law
Filing for divorce now could present some problems with respect to proving to the USCIS that your marriage was not a fraud and, therefore, if at all possible, it would be better to wait another year to file jointly your I-751 with your husband to eliminate the conditional nature of your lawful permanent residency(green card status), and then initiate divorce proceedings.
