Marrying a green card holder who herself got green card through marriage

[Bassanio Broke]

Hi friends, I am 31 year old male. Recently my parents introduced me to the daughter of their friends. This girl is half an year elder then myself but physically she looks smaller than me. The girl has recently got divorced from her abusive marriage of 10 years and her green card is by the virtue of that marriage. If I marry her would I be able to get green card and work and live in US. Someone told me that she can only sponsor me after getting citizenship, is this correct? Thanks in advance.

She can petition you as long as she got her green card at least 5 years ago, or can show clearly that her first marriage was not to evade immigration laws.

Thanks for reply. Would marriage of ten years be acceptable to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) as genuine marriage (not done to circumvent laws). Thanks
