Well since I am his dependent, does he not have to support me? If he does not agree, can I call the USCIS as I do not have the ability to earn in the US. Please do let me know. - Is this your question? Add additional information

Although immigration law does not form a basis for requiring an H1B visa holder to support his spouse, state domestic relations law may provide benefits. You should contact a domestic relations attorney located in your state.

Did you suffer domestic violence during your marriage? If so, I would recommend discussing your situation with an immigration attorney familiar with benefits for survivors of domestic violence and other crimes as you may be eligible for additional benefits.
