Hi

You are required to cohabit with that person for several years (please check the laws).
If not your permit expires and you will be in whole lot of trouble living in the USA>
Please remember things are changing fast.

The green card holder can file for RoC (removal of conditions) without the former US spouse if the marriage was entered in good faith. It is easier to be agreeable and do so prior to divorce proceedings.
