Hi,
I recently got my Green Card (4 months ago) through my husband's employment.
I came to the U.S on a F-1 visa for studying my masters in 2004. I graduated in May 2005 and was looking for work. I was on OPT for a year and had my H-1B visa through an I.T employer validity starting from May 2006 for future projects. I met my husband online through a matrimony website in Sept 2005 and got married in March 2006, in presence of elders and according to all the religious ceremonies in India. I was to change my status to H4.
Due to problems we had initially and him constantly criticizing the fact that I did not have a job, I cancelled my application for H4 and used my existing H1-B and sought employment in a different city 3 months after my wedding We lived separately for 3 years due to my working in different cities. We met several times during the 3 years and the marriage was very much alive.
There was no intention to separate all these years. I quit my job in May 2009 and moved in with him to work on the marriage. He got more abusive and we decided to go ahead with the divorce in Jan 2011.
I left to India in Jan 2011 to take care of my health and he sent the divorce papers to India. The grounds stated are :irreconcilable differences. I have signed all the papers and sent across. Now, it looks like he is vindictive and thinks that I married him for the purpose of the Green card (which is not true).
My questions:

My questions:
- What can he do to cancel or revoke my GC?
- What are my options if he does file any cases against me?
