Claiming she was abused gives her a legitimate reason (for INS purposes) to be allowed to file for divorce AND a could allow her to stay in the US even though she is no longer married to a US citizen. It won't be easy to prove if there are no police or hospital reports and no witnesses. Your lawyer should start rounding up character witnesses on your behalf, if you want to fight the cause for divorce, which I imagine you do. Ask your attorney if you can contest the reason your wife has stated for the cause of the divorce, without contesting the divorce itself. (I imagine you don't want to be married to this woman.) And good luck.
