Legal Question in Immigration Law in Tennessee

E2 divorce, re-merry

I am here in US as a dependent spouse of E2 holder. But, I have been planning to divorce him cause he is abusing me physically. Due to his abusive act, I left my husband and moved to different state 6 months ago. I got a job (working with EAD) and lately I met a man and we were in love.We plan to get merry but my husband is refused to divorce me. I am planning on asking a divorce through lawyer, and merry the man I love. My E2 visa is automatically terminated after the divorce which will affect my work. Can I remain in US and adjust my status after I get merry? My boyfriend is US citizen.

When you get the divorce you will loose your E2 Eligibility and become immediately deportable. You can get married to your US Citizen spouse and apply for a new greencard, adjustment of status and a new work permit
