Family Based CR1....divorce question.

My friend has been married to a US citizen for about a year now (they got married back in India). Couple of months back, she got her CR1 visa (conditional immigrant visa) and came to the US. Since living together with her husband, she has realized that they are not compatible at all, and they are headed towards a divorce (much as it seems like one of those marriages that were done to obtain a GC, it is not, unfortunately).
I believe that one can file form I-751, for removal of conditions to the permanent residency, in case of a marriage that was entered into in good faith, but later ended in divorce.
The question is - what are the chances of success in such a case? What are the chances that she can get the conditions removed and continue to live and work here as a permanent resident? Does anybody know of any cases like this?

Any help is much appreciated.
 
My friend end up getting GC in Dec 2004.

Chnces of success: It's very hard to guess. Tell your friend to hire immigartion lawyer.

However, what do you think are the chances of success? What happened to your friend?

If a marriage is done in India, can the divorce be done here in the US? How much would it cost?
And how much would hiring an immigration lawyer cost?

... Yes.

How much would it cost?
... That depends upon parties/situation involved. If it is not CONTESTED, cost is normally managable.

And how much would hiring an immigration lawyer cost?
... Range goes from $1000 to NO-LIMIT

Hold on...if the person got the 10 year permanent residency then is not the same case. The previous post was because the person received the "conditional". Means that is just valid for 2 years and was a case of marriage based. The case you are talking about is different since the person got the 10 year green card. That person doesn't have to remove any conditions, just have to renew it if gets expired.
