Asked on Jan 03rd, 2013 on Immigration - Texas
More details to this question:
I am married since 2003. We are staying in USA New Jersey since 2004 until 2010. We got our green card in 2010. I am in India since 2010 but visiting back to USA to renew my visa status for every six months. October 2012 23 was my visa expiry date but because of me and my husband not getting along well I did not plan to visit and now he says he will terminate my green card can he do that? In what way should I stop him disturbing me?

To keep your green card, you need to have intent to reside in the US. You husband could allege that you do not intend to reside in the US. So next time you try to enter the US, you might have a problem.

Based on the information you gave, I find it highly unlikely your husband can terminate your visa. Note however that you are a green card holder. As such, CIS may terminate your green card where it finds that you have spent 365 days continuously outside the US. If you have been away from United States for more than 1 year, you should contact an immigration lawyer before returning to this country.

He can certainly contact USCIS for them to inquire as to your status and whether you are, in fact, residing on a permanent basis in the US, which is the requirement for a green card holder. Please let me know if you have any additional questions or how I can be of further assistance to you in this matter.

If you have a 10 year green card, you should be OK. But make sure you do not loose it by staying outside the country too long and too often. You need to intend to live in the US and live in the US.

He can't do it himself; only immigration officials can do it. I guess if he lies and said your marriage is a fraud, they might initiate some action.
