    Divorced but harassed by ex-wife
    I was married 8 years ago and sponsored for green card to my wife. We got divorced last year (after 7 years) but I am being harassed by my ex-wife. Is there any provision on the marriage law and immigration law that I can at least discourage her to harass me with that clause? Or Can I cancel her green card after divorce?

    Here is what I found,


    Divorce After A green Card issued
    When a person has their green card, they have unconditional permanent residence in the U.S. A green card divorce does not change a spouse's immigration status after the spouse obtains their green card. The only effect green card divorce may have on an immigrant with a green card is that it may delay full citizenship.
    When the immigrant is divorced before being married to a U.S. citizen for at least three years and the immigrant has not had her green card for five years, then the immigrant must wait until she has had her green card for five years before she can apply for full U.S. citizenship
