Both the courts in Jaipur,India and in US have jurisdiction to grant Divorce. Both being married at Jaipur the court in Jaipur can grant divorce, and as both are presently residing in US, the court at US can grant divorce. So the option is with both of you to file divorce at the place which is suitable for you both.
