She will need a new sponsor-it doesn't mean a lot. She will need to either go to school full time or work. She may do both-but one must be full time. She must be in no trouble and remain that way.
She can get Legal Aid-her local County Government Center can tell her where to find them. If she doesn't speak the language she may have an interpreter.
Yes she can be divorced--our government does know that happens
She should seek help ASAP.

If they've been together for six years there should be no problem with his remaining a resident.
Sometimes there's an investigation if the marriage is short, but after six years I'm sure the presumption would be that it was sincerely-made and that it's fallen-apart in some normal manner.
I mean, look at the number of American marriages that end in divorce - and alot of them well before six years have passed.

I think you might have to look at singapore's laws of marriage and how long they've been married. I think when someone marries another from another country there might be a certain amount of years before they can be divorced before the other is considered "permanent citizen". Has your friend gone through naturalization for that country? Check into the laws.

He will still be considered a resident of the US divorce alone will not take that away so long as they were married for at least two years. He was married fo rsix so they will not revoke his citizenship

If this is in the USA, he is going to stay in the USA. Only a long legal battle showing fraud on his part. It would be next to impossible to show, as he remained married 4 yrs longer than the 2 yr requirement

I don't know if this will help, but I had a friend who was Canadian who devorced her American husband and was allowed to keep her permanent resedancy status. I think it really depends on wherether or not his probationary period is over or if he still has a temporary green card. In either case I would ask an immigration lawyer.

I think he would only lose residency if their marriage failed in 2 years. But I guess it would also depend on why they are getting a divorce.

It depends on what the Singapore government has to say. Their laws are different. They are not the republic that the U.S. is. he will have to talk to someone there.
