Your use of the word “immigrant” leaves question as to whether you have already obtained conditional permanent residence or whether your husband ever filed papers for you at all. If he never filed for you, you are probably not eligible to file your application under the circumstances that you describe of him just disappearing. If you already have a conditional green card, your ability to remove the conditional basis in an I-751 petition may depend upon whether you are able to show that you had a bona fide marriage before he disappeared or that there are other circumstances such as eligibility under the Violence against Women Act (VAWA) or extreme hardship that you will face in returning to the home country – such hardship having occurred during the time of your conditional residence.
