How can I make a complaint to immigrationif it is about a year that my husband’s green card is unconditional?
My husband got his green card because I was a US citizen. I wanted to get a divorce after a year but he was concerned that he would lose his green card. It is now almost a year that his green card has unconditional and I have been abused verbally and physically. I have been scared to say anything and now I feel like I need to speak out and say something to immigration. The only reason I stayed in this marriage was with threat and manipulation from him. We have been legally separated for 5 months now. What are my legal rights?

You can report it to the USCIS but it is not very likely that anything will be done to revoke his status now that his status is unconditional and you continued to stay in the marriage even when you probably felt it was for immigration purposes only. You can certainly report it but be prepared for nothing to happen as a result of that.
