I got married in 2005. Both me and my husband were working in IT firms in good position. I moved to US in March 2008 follwing his H1 Visa. He had alreday gone to USA in october 2007.I had to leave my job in India and went there on H4 Visa. We had a 1.5 year old daugter I shifted there. Things changed completely in US. He did not use to take care of us and our needs. Even for getting small things also I had to beg him.He was reluctant towards his daughters education as well. He used to threaten and torture me mentally. He took up a job elsewhere and left us alone without money or any other things. During that period my daughter fell sick severely and I called his friends who helped me by taking her to doctor and helping us with money. With my brothers interefence he finally took us along with him after 2 months. Soon he started saying that you go back to India and take up a job there and I will also join you people. Its been 2 years now since I have come back to India. I stay in his house in bangalore which he had bought before our marriage. Initially he used to send some money which has been reduced to 8k per month now. I have taken a job in India and he says that I should take care of myself and my daughter. He is even reluctant to send her school fees.He does not responds to my mails or calls. I have come to know from his close relatives that he is planning for a divorce. He has alreday filed for his greencard 3 years back and does not want to come back to India or take us back there. My daughter is 4.5 years old now and misses her father.
I do not want to give him divorce for my daughters sake. It is also very difficult for me to take care of all expenses alone as my salary is very less due to my career breaks.On the other hand he earns good money there.
Kindly advice how we can make him come back to India or atleast make him sustain his family.

You can try save the marriage by filn a suit for restitution of marriage. For maintenance you can file a case u/s125 crpc or u/s 24 of the Marriage Act .

you have to file maintenance petition against your husband and simultaneously you have to inform the us embassy regarding this so that he may not get Green Card. and you have to write a complaint to his employer regarding this and by putting pressure u shall definitely get your desired will.

Complaint regarding matrimonial dispute makes no difference to the US Authorities while allowing Green Card.

I agree with Barman. You need to give pressure to your husband atleast for the sake of the child
