More details to this question:
I am English and have been living in USA and married for 27 months now. My wife is American. I cannot do anything right. She is always mad at me and very demanding. I cannot even watch any of my own TV Shows. I hate my job but I would rather be there than at home, it is that bad. I am really unhappy. I have been in USA for 27 months and married for that time. I have had my green card for 14 months. If I file for devorce, will I need to go back to England? Please help me. Thank you

Individuals who have a conditional green card and become divorced have an opportunity to file Form I-751 petition to remove the conditional basis of residence status. A successful application would prove that you have had a bona fide marriage. Documentation to prove such could consist of birth certificates of children born of the union, photographs, leases or deeds, insurance policies, utility bills, credit card statements, telephone bills, banking statements, affidavits from family members, friends, neighbors, or others, etc. The burden of proof will be upon you to prove through documentation the bona fide character of your marriage. You would likely be requested to interview and explain what happened in your relationship.
