My niece went to USA 4 years after marriage on Green Card based on the green card of husband. She lived there as house wife with husband in joint family for more than a year and then returned to INDIA when husband abandoned her. After returning INDIA she has filed cases for Domestic violence, Maintenance and Divorce which are pending with the court. FIR has been registered for domestic violence case. Before leaving USA she also sent a formal complaint to INDIAN embassy in US. Husband is nether responding nor attending court/police hearing.
On the other side husband has also filed a DIVORCE case in USA which she can not attend / respond.
Now to retain her Green Card she can not be absent from US for more than a year and if the circumstances compel her to extend her stay in INDIA she must inform US authorities.
What precautions and steps she should take to retain her GREEN CRAD.
