Question #190: I am an Afghan national. I live in Kabul, Afghanistan. In March 2007 I was in New York City for an official trip on G4 visa – I used to work for the World Bank. On March 3rd, 2007, I got married to my cousin who is a US citizen and lives in NYC. We got married in the Office of The City Clerk, NYC. A month after our marriage, I returned back to Kabul and didn’t see her until May 2009, but we had phone contacts. In May 2009 we met in Dubai and stayed together for a week. Then she went back to US and I came to Kabul, but again we had some rare phone contacts. I guess, during our stay in Dubai, she got pregnant and she has a baby girl now. We both want (agree) to get divorce now, but the problem is that I am no more working for the World Bank and I don’t have a US visa to go back to US to settle things down. We don’t have any financial dispute and I am happy with her keeping the baby. My questions are: 1. How can we get a divorce? 2. Do I have to appear in person in NYC to take care of the paperwork or my wife can do it alone? 3. How long will it take to get divorce and how much it will cost us? Can I hire a lawyer from here? Thanks ever so much for your very kind support.
