Huh? I think you and the upmodders do not realize that once the spouse gets the marriage-based green card, it doesn't get revoked in a divorce. AFAIK and IANAL.
Unless there is some other point to this comment that is going WAY above my head.

Also, if you get divorce after getting green card and if USCIS finds out that you married citizen only to get green card, they can revoke it.
But the unqualified "no leverage" of the OP seemed to imply at least to me that they thought that the green card would be taken away in a divorce irrespective of number of years of marriage (it doesn't after two years unless you got into a fraudulent marriage).
And I do not think the GP suggested getting a sham marriage. Yes, if you really enter into a sham marriage then the "wife" will have lots of leverage over you.
Background: I'm a citizen, and my wife when through the process when we got married six years ago. She became a citizen a couple of years ago.
