Nobody can help you. Please stop writing in all caps. It is considered shouting and will annoy people. You are the only one to help yourself. I understand your stress. Take a deep breath. Settle down and read, read, read all you can on this subject.

Use google primarially to find information to fight the accusations.

Read this entire page and articles like this.

Don't be concerned if you are innocent of these accusations. The truth will usually prevail.

You can withdraw the affidavit of support?

You can withdraw the affidavit of support?

yes, you can while the i-485 is pending, thats what USCIS advised me to do, i did it successfully

[Tim/Mav 305]

Sorry for your choices. Good or Bad. I did not mind if your Statement was in CAPS. I would imagine your hurt as well.

You have One Life. Keep Going..

If you successfully were able to withdraw the AOS and she is being directed to leave within 30 day. Failure to leave at this point now falls on her and she has to deal with immigrations. I understand being worried about VAWA alligations, get an initial consultation with a lawyer and see if you would like to pay for representation. An attorney can talk to her lawyer to see what she is doing, unless he/she is willing to talk to you. Ultimately if the VAWA sticks then you have to protect yourself, but if immigration buys on the VAWA and let's her adjust on her own accord not sure how that would play out for her. It seems you would not be responsible for her at this time, you could request a divorce and let her move on with her life and let her deal with immigration.

I would say focus your effort on not being held responsible for her and protecting yourself on the VAWA charge. Let her worry about the immigration peice.

Good luck,

I am sorry for what you are going through.

After reading all the information, it seems to me that its exactly what my ex wife was doing to me.

The only thing that saved me was going to Iraq. Because I was in Iraq, she couldn't accuse me anymore therefore had no choice but to file a divorce.

She slapped two domestic violence against me with the military police and very insistent on getting her green card. Just before I left for Iraq.

Another thing that saved me was she was on a SOFA stamp and only traveled to Germany. She never touched foot in USA.

Wow... reading all that stuff just hit me hard.

what do you mean by protecting myself on the vawa charge? if she gets approved for vawa, then i get a vawa charge? i dont get it, can you please explain? a person can still file for vawa even after after that letter the USCIS sent requesting her to depart the US?

[Tim/Mav 305]

USCIS and Consulates are trained to look for this. But a few leak through the cracks.

When they do, this is what happens.

[ceadsearc 516]

Yes, they can still file for VAWA. There is no VAWA charge that you will be charged with. VAWA is with USCIS, if she wants you charged with abuse she would have to call the police. Where it might affect you is if you wanted to petition someone else down the line.

You did all you can do. USCIS won't keep you informed about her case. Avoid speaking to her at alone at all costs so she cant spin anything. And then try to move on, because now that you have reported her to USCIS it is up to them to determine if they think her claim has merit and to decide whether or not to issue a green card.

[NigeriaorBust 4,087]

Look into getting the marriage annulled ( then there is no marriage effectively ) It gives her less power than a divorce. Get a restraining order based an her actions and theaten to charge her and her friends with slander or whatever the legal term is in your state. Never met her alone or with only her friends and have all communication be made through your lawyer or a third party.

She can have friends write what they want. You can have your friends write what they want. The fact is there has to be factual evidence of abuse,i.e, police reports, medical evidence, talking to counselors, etc.... Hearsay is never admissable. Below is a link that may ease your mind. Anyone can file things against you. THe questions is do they have real evidence to back it up. Don't worry about her anymore. Move on with your life. Let USCIS deal with her and deport her. ake care.

You yanked your affidavit of support in time, and you have her on record with USCIS. You're in pretty good shape.

Her friends risk 5 years' imprisonment and a fine of a quarter-million dollars if they lie to the Feds.

No Police report, no medical report, no problem. Anyone would see through this self serving motive. Get a lawyer and move to have the marriage annulled based on fraud.

You said she filled a VAWA case which means she is stating you abused her, anyone who has charges or allegations against them protects themselves either through an attorney or by getting supporting documents proving the contrary. I am not sure what that means as far as charges against you hence the advice consult a lawyer. As far as her getting a visa on the VAWA case who knows who will lend an ear to her case but if she does you cannot control that result. The only things you can and should be concerned with is making sure you are not responsible for her and getting past the VAWA allegations.

God bless you, I know you are in a hard situation
