I hold a 2 years conditional green card through marriage, me and my wife are in the middle of a divorce , I was surprised when my wife filed a temporary injection for domestic violence Against me and false accusing me about a lot of bad things just to make me leave the house after I told her im not moving out until divorce is completed . Is it going to be a problem to remove conditions from my green card with the temporary injunction on my record ? We have been living together and have proves of the good faith marriage now I'm fighting this injunction and I'm putting one against her now because she is the one that was abusive hit me destroyed my stuff threats .
I dislike saying it, but the injunction is GREAT evidence of your bona fide marriage. There are no injunctions in fraud marriages. Keep your distance and document your case. You will be fine. : )

We are not in a good position to answer this question because we do not know the facts. We only know what you are saying and that is not enough to even assume her accusations were false. Hence, answering your question would be counterproductive. Talk to an attorney locally.
it's time you should hire a good lawyer. Having domestic violence on your record may destroy your chances of getting a permanent green card. The main issue thus is not the bona fides of your marriage (it's still very important) but possible domestic violence charges.

Domestic Violence issues may have an impact in your legal permanent resident status. You need to make sure you hire an excellent attorney to represent you in this matter. You will also need a skilled immigration attorney to represent you when it is time to remove the conditions on your residence. The two attorneys should work together to make sure that you are able to preserve your immigration status. If you obtain a divorce, you will need to file for a waiver to remove the conditions on your green card. Best of luck!
Yes, it could escalate into a serious problem. Generally, if it stays a civil matter, it will not make you inadmissible, but could impact the way your petition for removal of conditions is adjudicated. If it spills over into a criminal matter, you will be facing possible removal from the US. Either way, now is the time to schedule an appointment with an experienced immigration attorney so that he or she can provide you with case-specific advice. Remember, is a great place for general information, but it is not a substitute for individually-tailored legal advice from an attorney.
