Please Help her

Answer:
What do you mean with "Temporary green Card"? Is she a conditional resident? If she is that means that they have been married less that 2 years. It could affect her status and she could be subject to deportation. But, if she can prove that there was an abusive relationship, then she will not be deported. You need to have proved, like police reports and or pictures of his abuse.

If she is a legal permanent resident then it does not matter. She can divorce him and after three years she can apply for U.S. Citizenship.
As long as the marriage isn't a sham to get into the country to begin with... a divorce does not take away her citizenship... especially if children are involved.
She can but only if she has lasted out her Conditional Resident status. Otherwise she would have to show that he was abusive or some other special circumstance exists.

just because he lied and is a loser is not an excuse.

She should have gotten to know the person she intended to marry/married.

This stinks of a sham marriage which is illegal by the way.

The purpose of marriage is not to move you from there to here.

proving "good faith" is easier said than done...she won't be the first to try and sham her way in...the inspectors have experience at this stuff. they get lot-o-practice.
When she goes to the interview to get her perm green card, (after filing her I-751) all she has to do, is show that she entered the marridge in "Good faith".if she can do that, there should be no problem.otherwise...adios..
If she have 10 years (Green card-Permanent resident) She's okay.
If the marriage wasn't a sham and she has been here a while, probably. (Actually, the conditions come off in two years, not 10, but I have heard sometimes less than 2 is ok. THAT I don't know for sure.) She needs to speak to an immigration attorney. Often the first consultation is free. Ask the bar association in her state for a referal if you don't know one - at least they won't be under disciplinary action that way.
