Marital Discord

My sister married in 2017 and left for US with her husband in a month. After almost 2+ years she is now considering separation because of various reasons 1. My brother in law promised they would return to India in 2-3 years after marriage but now he wants to settle there but my sister doesn’t 2. Even on a personal level, he is insensitive (doesn’t care about her feelings anymore), interfering (doesn’t allow her to take decisions, meddles on what to buy and what not), doesn’t want to go out for dinner or celebrating anniversaries etc. giving reasons that it's too expensive and its comfortable at home. 3. My parents and I have also had these discussions with him and his family on a couple of occasions and unfortunately, still nothing has changed. Infact, things have worsened because parents are involved now. What are the options my sister has (they don’t have a kid) 1. Should she come back to India alone and then file for separation? Or would that make our case weaker? 2. Is there a possibility that we send a notice first (not divorce) so that he can mend his ways? Has this approach worked in past with couples? 3. What should she do?
