Best wishes with your efforts to resuscitate your marriage relationship. Generally, a couple can succeed in a jointly filed Petition to Remove Conditions if they are still living together in a bona fide marriage, notwithstanding that the marriage relationship has encountered significant problems. Evidence that the couple is obtaining professional marriage counseling services might be useful among the evidence of the bona fide nature of the marriage. It would be wise for you and your husband to consult with an immigration attorney who, after learning all of the relevant details, could advise about immigration steps to be taken at this point. Some immigration law firms, including mine, offer legal services on a "flat fee" basis so that a client will know the total expense from the very beginning, and a few immigration law firms, including mine, offer an initial consultation free of charge.
