You can file divorce here if the marriage place or husband's local house or your last resident address is in India. You just obtain the US address and file divorce petition here and get it granted by family court here.

Are both of you willing to apply for Divorce by mutual consent? If yes, your husband can come to India for filing the divorce petition jointly and again he has to come to India after six months to obtain divorce. If the husband can never come to India, then the wife can apply for divorce and the husband can remain exparte. So the wife can get a exparte decree of divorce. For any further clarification or assistance, you may contact me.
