Can I marry in USA as I am a green card holder ?

A divorce case, under ordinary situations will not take more than three years for disposal, you may ask your sister/agent the reasons for delay.

Also you may ask the police to expedite the filing of charge sheet.

You may postpone the remarriage for getting the matter solved .

If I go to India, they can stamp passport as accused, then it will be a problem for me to come back to USA. Now a days USA is finding small issues also as bigger to not to re enter this country. So that My job might be at stake.

There is no provision to stamp accused in the passport, it is against the rights of the holder/citizen

As I have taken divorce in USA and if I marry in USA are they going to file case in India ?and how long does it takes in India to proceed

If you have taken divorce in US and planning to marry in US itself and also do not have plans to visit India, you remain married with the girl in US itself then what is your worry.

s there at least a way that I can get AB from USA .

No there is no way that you can get AB in USA.

1. Have you not already obtained AB in the 498A case? If AB has been obtained then you shall have no fear in coming to India and contesting 498A. If despite the grant of AB you have consistently not appeared before the competent court in 498A case then possibly NBW must have been issued till now, in which event you have to applyf or cancellation of NBW.

2. Bigamy is impermissible even in US according to US law. Holding a green card does not permit you to remarry without obtaining divorce from the court.

3. In these circumstances you should move the High Court for an expeditious conclusion of your divorce case. The HC can direct the court below to wind up the case within 6 months.

1. If you wish to conclude the divorce petition then you are required to appear before the court for evidence, failing which there is no way the court can pass a decree of dissolution of marriage in your favour. I repeat that if you have obtained AB and also got any NBW (which may have been standing against you) cancelled then you cannot be arrested on landing in India.

2. You may further file a writ petition in the High Court to seek police protection if you apprehend that you may suffer an injury to your life or liberty on arriving in India.

1. If you have obtained divorce in US, and no petition has been filed in India by your ex-spouse to declare it not binding on her, you are free to remarry in US.

2. You are not required to appear personally before the court for the grant of AB, but if a NBW has been issued then it will not be cancelled unless you personally appear before the court.

3. If you want a concrete opinion then consult a lawyer with complete set of documents.
