I am truly sorry for the situation that you find yourself in, but there is very little chance that a court would award you any alimony because your marriage is so short. The court will expect you to return to India and so will the Department of Homeland Security.

As far as US law is concerned, an annulment or a divorce changes nothing for you. Its not very likely that he would be granted an annulment, but it won't change anything for you if he is.
