Where are you now?

If in India - go to the Spanish embassy and explain it to them - I would also suggest contacting the authorities.

I'm sorry I'm not sure if I understood you. You married a guy in India from America? So your "husband" is US citizen or Indian?

Did you sign a court's paper or something formal? You said you signed a piece of paper....

Not sure what your questions are....

[Otto 83]

... i also fear for his life coz if my family came to find about him they might try to kill him.

• Call the police
  
• Call your family
  
• Contact the Spanish Embassy (link)
  

[leith@Ievgeniia 8]

is india a place that you have to marry in gov't office? if so then the marrage not legal??? yes contact your consulate and get the hell out of india!!!!

sounds like it was scam to have u marry them!!!

[preet27 0]

my family made me marry him by fraud by using their links since there is a 30 day waiting period for getting married to a foreign national, but they somehow got past it and got me married without a marriage registrar, that too on 1st Jan, 2010 whereas i arrived in india on 21st Dec, 2009. see special marriage act for marriage in india,

The guy they got me married to is an american citizen

also they already have my passport and they have so many links in india that i can't sneak out, they will catch me before reaching anyone even right now they have people watching over me every second, my only hope is after reaching America but there too i am on a student VISA so i have no rights, also i don't know how am i going to enter US now, i mean on which VISA is it going to be a student visa or any other kind, the guy who they got me married told me that i will get my green card in about 3 months, what should I do, i feel totally helpless, reaching out to indian authorities would be a wrong decision, coz in India they will eventually catch me and further won't let me leave for US, there too after i reach the airport they will confiscate my passport, i am 23 years old by the way.

Help PLZ Help, what should i do now ?

[Darnell 8,478]

ok - i suggest something else.

view the passport and visa as stolen. act solely on this, forget your other problems in india for a moment.

Call the spain embassy, get replacement passport immediately.

set up appointment with US Embassy also, to get a new visa stamp in your new passport. They will use the SEVIS system, already have all info there at the Embassy for you, on you.

Now, the other bits, on how to get the #### out of that house, disappear for a bit, will be hard to do. But I think, is same amount of energy and cunning, to leave, as it is to recover your stolen documents from inside the house.

Indian Police might be of some help, I can't say. Hopefully Sachinsky can chime in ?

For those who can't figure out what i am saying

i came to US in July of 2008 under a student visa and got admitted for a diploma course in hospitality management at community college New Jersey, i am living with my maternal aunt at her home, that's for the background.

now my problem begins, my cousin sisters' marriage was held on 24th of DEC, 2009 for which i came to India on 21st Dec, 2009, my parents confiscated my passport at Delhi airport itself and deposited it in a bank locker, now they forced me to get engaged with a guy who is a US citizen and threatened that if I didn't co-operate they will get me married too and won't let me leave India, so i succumbed to the pressure and they organized a huge engagement ceremony on 1st Jan, 2010. There they made me sign a piece of paper, the next day the guy called me in the morning and told me that we are now married and that i will get my green card in 3 months time, this came as a shock to me since that is not according to Indian Special Marriage Act where there is a 30 day waiting period in case of marrying a foreign national in India.

Now they have literally got me trapped here in India, i am going back to India on 15th of Jan and 5 people are accompanying me, i also don't know on which Visa i will be going back to the US, since they already have my passport, i am currently the topper of my class with a 3.91 GPA, but i don't think they are going to let me finish my study and they are probably going to marry me within 1 or 2 months of reaching USA, and force me to leave my study in between,also probably they are going to confiscate my passport at the US airport itself, i currently don't have any money or support in USA, since my parents were paying for my college fees and my stay was at my Aunt's, i am in a fix now what should i do, can i do anything ........ Help PLZ !!!

I can't contact Indian authorities since that would rather cause more problems and these people might not let me leave India and reach US.

[JimVaPhuong 4,863]

Married or not, they can't get you a green card and visa to the US without your cooperation. No matter what papers they force you to sign, you can shoot the whole thing down with a single statement at the consulate interview. If you tell the interviewing officer that you were forced into the marriage against your will, that will be the end of the interview - no visa, no green card. Make sure your parents understand this.

[preet27 0]

But they are probably gonna marry me off in a religious ceremony to show as proof before the interview, and they are probably going to let him rape me, so that i am left with no option, no money, no right to work in US and fend for myself then i can't do anything at the interview but co-operate otherwise my life is ruined with no study, no right to work and feed myself, raped, and left to rot in hell,

Today i also overheard a few plans regarding the marriage ceremony,

Is there a way that i can get my passport, my luggage from them by calling authorities in USA and then leave USA to go and live in my native country

Do i have these rights being on a student Visa ?

Help Plz, i feel like killing myself, plz someone help me out i am desperately in need of help.

[Brother Hesekiel 2,236]

This is, by a wide margin, the weirdest post I've encountered on VJ yet.

To the O.P.: as a citizen of Spain, the Spanish Embassy in India is your safe haven. Marriage fraud, forged signature, theft, and especially rape are all crimes.

people my parents have huge links in India, that is how they managed to get me married like that, i can't sneak out, they will find me even before reaching the embassy which is a full 10 hour drive from where i am right now provided i don't even have the money to get there, they have even took away my phone from me, i have my laptop from where i am writing all this, they don't know much about internet, that is why I still have it, that also i don't know till when?

my only hope is getting back to USA, i just wanted to know that when i reach USA, what can i do and what options do i have ?

Like can i report to the police and can they help me in getting my passport and my belongings from them so that i can fly off to my native country?

or if suppose they didn't perform the marriage ceremony and i play along till i get a conditional PR can i divorce him after getting it or will i be deported back to my native country right after the divorce is finalized, or can i stay and work in US till the CPR time expires that is 2 years and then move back to my country, coz then this way I can complete my education and also fend for myself.

Any other Way out of this mess ?

Definately BIZARRE

1) Either there or when you return to the US contact YOUR Embassy (If you have to run and hide - its not that hard for one small person to get lost in an endless sea of people. Your young and intelligent - be resourceful).

2) Dont worry about your studies - for all the problems you currently have your studies are not a priority

3) Get back to Spain and contact your local authorities. Sounds like you have one hell of a story and an even bigger battle on your hands.

4) You nay have to charge your family with theft by unlawful taking for confiscating your passport - no one has a right to these documents but you and the authorities. You may also need to file additional charges against them but will need to consult an attorney or the authorities.

5) My God what a mess you are in. When you get this all straifhtened out you should contact a producer - almost sounds unreal but it would make one hell of a movie! (Sorry - I dont mean to sound sarcastic - its just the truth sometimes sounds that way)

Gos Bless and Good Luck.
