hi,

I have been married for almost 2 years now. Our marriage is going nowhere. I think we both know that we are getting seprated but she is demanding a Green Card from me before we go our own way. There have been threats made to my family from her family, which is the main reason I want to have nothing to do with her and now I don't want to give her the Greencard either. Here is what i need to know.

How can i get her to leave USA?

So you have not adjusted her status at all? not even right after you were married?

No, i haven't applied for an adjustment of status at all.

Simple file for divorce, I am assuming she will came as CR1 which means she has to be married to you for 2 yrs.

If she is not married for 2 yrs then she cannot get the GC.

I know, but i want her out of USA. I feel she has used me to get into this country.

Then don't

not your problem or concern... if she stays it is her problem not yours... You cannot just "kick" her out because you want to. If the USG wants her out then she will be provided the appropriate due process... Best you can do is call ICE.

If she entered on a K1 visa, you both have to get married and file for AOS. Thats the only way for her to adjust her status. If you have not married her yet then talk to her about how its not working out and just buy her a one way ticket back. If you both are married then file for a divorce and pull your I-864 before the GC is approved.

Be careful in your dealings with her and document all the threats you are getting from her and her family and make sure she does not claim abuse by you and family. That is the path a lot of people will take who are only looking for a GC.

1) they are married 2 years and never adjusted status (arrived on K-1)

2) No I-485 filed so no I-864 to "take back"

3) If in the end if she attempts to self petition it is not the OP's problem... he needs to protect himself and get out of the way and not be party to any fraudulent application

You are assuming wrong... she arrived K-1

Your other info is also confusing and also incorrect. An alien can have a GC if married less than two years if you file the proper documents (which the OP has not)

You are right. I just glanced at the thread and wrote without reading it.

I would agree with payxibka, now is the time to cut off all in-person contact unless you have a couple of witnesses with you and even then it should only be contact that is absolutely required.

She only has 2 ways to Adjust Status now: 1) as your spouse, 2) VAWA...

VAWA requires she take certain steps to build a credible abuse case against you!

File for divorce an cut all ties. After the divorce you can notify USCIS & ICE of the divorce and her last known address but stay away from her otherwise.

Here's something to try -

call ICE, report her as 'out of status', let them know you are filing for divorce.

Then if they ask you for anything, give it to them.

ICE Contact # below, have a look ?

So much said, some contradictory, so let me add my opinion.

If she came with a K-1, and you guys got married within the 90-days timeframe, and have been married for about 2 years now, she is floating in what we sometimes refer to as nowhereland.

This is a bit complicated to explain, but basically and due to an error in the wording, some believe that a K-1 in your wife's position is "kind of" legal, or at least not illegal in this country, as she fulfilled the requirements of the K-1. Others believe that as soon as her I-94 expired, and it certainly is long expired by now, she is out of status.

None of this matters, however, as a K-1 can only adjust status to Resident if YOU file the petition for her. If you die or get divorced and she marries again . . . out of luck. Good news therefore: if her family kills you, they are doing her a disfavor.

For you in your situation this means the following:

1) do NOT file the AOS for her.

2) write a letter to USCIS, explaining that you feel you have been used for a Green Card and will not file for AOS.

Then tell anybody who threatens you that you will call the police the next time they pull some kind of stunt on you.

Finally, get a divorce by any means, in absentia if you can't serve her the papers, and afterward move on with your life.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
