My wife and I were married in October. She was here on an H2B visa last year. Her visa expired on November 1st, but she is applying for a green card.

It depends on whether you are a US citizen.  If you are, then she would be an immediate relative and to be eligible for adjustment, she would need to show that she entered legally. A new medical exam should be submitted.

E2 visa

Unfortunately treaty investor visas (E-2) depend upon the person having a passport of the treaty country.

If I get a divorced is there a possibility of still becoming a legal resident?

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
If you are already a lawful permanent resident, divorce from a U. S. citizen would have no effect upon your residence status. If on the other hand you have no status and your spouse is only now applying for you to become a lawful resident of the country, a divorce would likely mean the end of the application for residence status through your spouse. I do note that if there is no legal separation or divorce at the time of the U.S.C.I.S. adjudication of such an application, an officer would have authority to grant residence status if he or she believed that your marriage was bona fide at its inception. Also if your spouse is an abuser, you might be able to obtain residence status as a battered spouse if you can prove the abuse.
