I am the spouse of a principal EB-5 investor and both of us received our conditional green cards recently. Now he wants a divorce as soon as possible. I do have documents of the original investment, but assuming no documentary support from him, how will I handle turning the temporary green card into a permanent one in two years? How can I proceed alone if we get a divorce at this stage?
