Breaking Up with partner before completing AOS application

 Share

15 posts in this topic

Recommended Posts

My partner and I discussed and agreed to mutually break up today. We've been asked for initial evidence and I ended things today. We need to get back to them with proof of income and/or use assets to prove I can support him. No family to qualify as joint sponsor. I am currently jobless. Have been supporting him in Dubai for the past year and paid off his debts (I am the petitioner) and quit a high paying in Dubai.

I've reached my wits end. I am contemplating not following through on the application as I am scared of him staying here. I don't want to be responsible as he is not a reliable person really. What can I do to protect myself please?

If you search some of the post on here, you would find that once you dont file the AOS, your not on the hook financially for him or you can just not submit the evidence , which will most likly get a denial and send them a letter stating that you have ended things and wish to end the paper work. But check out other post or ask one of the admin like penguin for advice.

Follow your gut. If you are having doubt now I wouldn't personally go through with it. If it's easier to break up now then wen he is here do so as long as it is mutual. Once your beneficiary is here you are responsible for him/her financially that's why they ask for your income.

He is here they married.

Pull the I 864, the I 134 is not enforceable.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Divorce is a State matter, not sure it matters that much where he is and anyway not something you can control.

Usual recommendation for the I 864 is in writing and by making an infopass at your local office.

And of course beware of VAWA.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Infopass and report that you are pulling I 864, do not furnish the documents

if you all are seperated that would be fraud to indicate there's still a relationship.

send a certified letter with his info and that you are no longer together to USCIS

do not AOS period....File for a simple divorce if no property or kids involved.

and don't worry be happy....go with your gut instinct....goodluck

You stated you don't have any family who qualify to be joint sponsor. I just want to put out there that the joint sponsor does not need to be family, they can be any US citizen or LPR currently residing in the US. It sounds like your issue goes beyond that, but I just wanted you to be aware. Good luck!

sounds like Aos filed, got rfe.

1. Submit letter withdrawing your i-864, to address in rfe notice, also via local dropoff in infopass appointment.

2. File for divorce soon, nowish.

thats it.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

First thing:

Protect yourself physically, you noted that you are scared of him staying.Your safety is the first thing to take care of.

Physically separate, meaning, either he needs to move out or you need to be in a safe place for the time being.

Then, protect yourself financially, by filing a separation agreement asap, ideally immediately after your safety is taken care of.

If joint accounts exist, you must close or cancel them.

The point is not to leave your husband hanging, but to protect yourself on debts he might incur for which you are co-responsible

Second: if you do not wish to continue AOS, simply do not follow through. The petition will be denied.

You will not be on the hook immigration-wise; and legally, the divorce process will take care of the financial aspects of the marriage.

Thanks for all your answers and concerns. Actually, some of your answers helped me gain more perspective on our issues.

Our issues have been mainly financial and I panicked when we received the request for evidence last week, especially because it puts more pressure on me (USCIS requested evidence of current income or that I provide proof of assets that I own to ensure that my partner does not become a public charge - this is part of the adjustment of status application).

So we decided to give things a shot and to work things out. We have distributed tasks between each other better and let's see...we agreed that if the application does NOT go through, then it's a sign maybe that we shouldn't continue. We will see!
