A wife's Dillema

hello

can someone please tell me if a woman is married to an american citizen and has children with him but he refuses to apply for a greencard for her, is there anything she can do?

[melusine 5]

you seem to be confusing in your different post... sometime you ask as the woman point of view, sometime you say you are the US citizen and your husband got his conditionnal green card, then asking about fraud....

that's just too much confusion for me to be able to answer

Is he refusing to apply for her greencard for any particular reason? Is it a financial concern, or is it more along the lines of control? Does he use the green card as a carrot, to get her to comply with his requests? If yes, then she can self-petition on the basis of abuse.

Sounds like someone got married just for the green card. You have no shame. If you really want a divorce, saddle you ####### back to where you came from before you met the dude.

Do you enjoy taking GIANT L-E-A-P-S?

Tony, the woman has children by the American man. Irregardless, the man has an obligation to his children. Whether it is in a foreign country or here.

The fact they both have children together implies there was an authentic relationship between them.

So to me, it sounds like man got cold feet and decided he wanted to live solo in the US.

She should go back to her original Country. He must not want to apply for the GC with her for something. He probably found out that she's just using him for that. That is why she is all concerned about her GC. She should just start a new and go back to her 3rd world country.

Um she was asking the question for someone ELSE?

She can still take her kids with her back to her original country. That shouldnt be a problem And you'd be surprised what a person would do for a GC. Dropping a couple of kids was probably worth it for her.

Tony,

How can you make such a judgment without all the story and without knowing the person !!!!!!!!!! It is so awful thing to say

Since she said children, I'm assuming that means more than one. Were these children born in the US,,ie they are US citizens? How long has she been in the US?

Sometimes, being a USC and remaining married to an alien and refusing to cooperate in securing PR for that alien, and holding that over the alien's head, can be construed as abuse of one's power and can provide the alien with an opportunity to self-petition under VAWA. You can't just jump to conclusions like this. We dont know all of the facts.

If the kids were born here, then they are American citizens. She may be able to stay on those grounds alone.

[Nutty 2]

From looking at the OP profile (original posts) is it unclear if the man she is involved with is the one who is a GREEN CARD holder and perpatrator of marriage fraud.

Dear Maiflower:

Is your aunt living in USA now? Does she have legal status? Or is she here illegally?

Nutty,

Any alien could remain, and children would be a viable reason for an alien staying, but that doesn't mean the alien would be able to remain legally. Children that are US citizens could petition on behalf of their alien mother, when they are 21 years of age.

In this case, however, I believe the alien has cause to self-petition.

She might but your question that would make that conclusion more solid has not yet been answered.

Wow... that's heavily racist.
