my friend is 27(male). and his wife is 29 (i think or 30, imnot sure as shes not my wife lol). i dont beleive that my friend entered the marriage by fraud because if it was fraud, they (his family) would not spend a million bucks to come visit USA to attend their wedding. all of his brothers and sisters (5 in total) and his parents flew to the US to witness the wedding, they all have multiple entry b2 visa. (including my friend and my friend's family here in the philippines is somewhat famous as he is a son of a senator in the philippines. ( i shouldnt be posting this info .. lol...the senator thing ). in my honest opinion, i think the marriage was entered in good faith, but i also belive that my friend is a ####### and sometimes, he decides with impulsiveness. now that hes having a problem, he now turns to me because thats what friends are for lol. and since i was able to find this site, i might as well take advantage of the informations this website has to offer.

a little help will be greatly appreciated.

Only 6 months and he has betrayed his wife who paid all of the expenses for him to come to the U.S. and be her husband. I hope he gets denied removing his conditions of his 2 year green card. People l

We don't know the exact circumstances here. He will have an uphill battle, but legally, he can stay if the marriage was entered into in good faith, and if he has enough evidence to back it up. Fraud

I would keep out of it.

So he's a spoiled rich kid. No wonder his commitment was only long enough to get a green card. I know he's your friend, but I can't help but wish he messes this up and gets burned. Booted back to the Philippines and unable to marry again because he filed the divorce here.

Doubt very seriously they spent a million dollars, but it really doesn't matter. Your friend is a loser and should go back to the Philippines where he belongs!!!!!!

I just couldn't imagine doing this to my spouse who I am moving halfway across the world for.

ROC from CR-1 visa (Green Card expiration date was Nov 24th 2016)

 

Link to the evidence I submitted. Be sure to send evidence spanning your entire marriage (especially for K-1) or as far back as you can. Just one or two bank statements will not cut it. I primarily focused on the two years of living here since I came in on a CR-1. If you don't have the fundamentals (i.e. joint accounts/policies), you can explain why in the covering letter. E.g. "While we do not have joint utilities, we both contribute to them from our joint bank account".

 

September 26th 2016: I-751 package sent to CSC

September 28th 2016: Package delivered
September 30th 2016: Check cashed
October 3rd 2016: NOA1 received with receipt date of 09/28/16
November 3rd 2016: Biometrics received with appointment date of 11/14/16.
November 14th 2016: Attended biometrics appointment
October 30th 2017: Infopass appointment to get I-551 stamp
February 26th 2018: I-751 case number (aka the NOA1 receipt number) becomes trackable
March 14th 2018: Submitted service request due to being outside of processing time.

March 15th 2018: ROC approved. 535 days (1 year, 5 months and 17 days)

March 29th 2018: Card being produced

April 4th 2018: Card mailed out

April 6th 2018: Card in hand. Has incorrect "resident since" date. Submitted service request on I-751 case (typographical error on permanent resident card) and an I-90 online.

April 2018 - August 7th 2018: Tons of service requests, emails and now senator involvement to get my corrected green card back because what the heck, USCIS. Also some time in May I sent a letter to Potomac telling them I want to withdraw my I-90 since CSC were handling it.

August 8th 2018: Card in production thanks to the direct involvement of Senator Sherrod Brown's team

August 13th 2018: Card mailed

August 15th 2018: Card in hand with correct date. :joy:

October 31st 2018: Potomac sends out a notice stating they have closed out my I-90 per my request. Yay for no duplicate card drama.

so, there is recent development on this post, few minutes ago, i called my friend after i i sent a snapshot of all ur comments. which i think he deserves to know . i was able to talk to his wife as well and spent on the phone for the last 45 minutes. so heres the real situation according to both parties. the post i wrote was my friends side, and this is the wify's side. interestingly, my friend doesnt need to ask the wife for a divorce because his wife too is cheating (#######) and as i am writing this post, they are actually together right now and i dont know what on earth they are talking, but an hour ago, i talked to them both. so here it is,

wife's job entails alot of travel, she only spend 2 days in their house and from mon-fri she travels and wont get home until saturday morning. all this time, i, and my friend thought that hes the only one cheating. but her wife confided that she too was and is still dating someone despite the fact that they are both #######, i mean married. now that they are confronting each others mistakes, both of them admits that they have cheated on each other ( they are totally #######) and that they fall out of love (just like that) . and now, they want to separate ways and wife wants to file a divorce so she can be free and for whatever reason, probably marries another ###.. i mean man. ...

given the scenario, if they both agreed to a divorce because both of them are #######, i mean cheaters. can my friend after the divorce, and on his ROC do it on is own if its the USC who will initiate the divorce? to be honest, i am totally confuse and shock and anxious and furious and name whatever u feel when someone tells u that they both cheated on each other and here i am, wide awake in the morning (its 4am) in the philippines. trying to help them out when in fact, both of them should suffer.. sigh.. but anyhow, sticking to the facts of this post, what are my friends options?

will his ROC cause any problem ?

if he marries the new girl, will this cause another problem?


Doubt very seriously they spent a million dollars, but it really doesn't matter. Your friend is a loser and should go back to the Philippines where he belongs!!!!!!

yhea me too. i doubt it will cost the much.,i guess im referring to Philippine peso. LOL

good question. i have asked it to myself as well. i was just a friend who happens to be his bestfriend, neighbour, schoolmate, classmate, and his best man on his wedding. LOL. and u know what, u have a point. these people should learn their lessons. . back in the days mate, when this friend of mine gets caught cutting classess or for any problem. its me who he turns too. i dont think that its too much of me to post their situation and try to ask someone who could possibly shed light on this. i was just helping him because regardless of whether hes a cheater, an as$h0le .. i cannot deny the fact that we are friends for more than 20 years now. and somehow, that is something worth keeping to me regardless of who he is, i dont choose my friends, :)

i cannot certainly answer that... i guess the point here that I want to clarify is this:

1. my friend does not intent to stay in the US illegally if he will have no legal options, by that, i would not be posting a topic which i know will be hotlisted. I was plainly asking for opinions and advices on how he should go about given the scenario.

2. if someone would advice to grab an immigration lawyer, then il tell him to get one., this isnt an issue of my friend wealth, or his family wealth. as ive written in my precious post, this visa he got is not the only visa he got prior to this. he was travelling back and forth from US to phil. my fried for all i know has no plans on evading immigration law as it will totally affect him and his father who is a high ranking official in our country.

I AM ONLY ASKING FOR ADVICE ON HOW TO GO ABOUT ON THIS LEGAL MATTER AND NOT JUDGE MY FRIENDS WEALTH, OR HES ACTIONS. I KNOW HES A STUPID GUY. TWO THUMBS UP FOR THAT. BUT COULD YOU ATLEAST STICK TO THE LEGAL ASPECT OF MY QUERIES RATHER THAN PUT A SIDE COMMENT WHICH ARE IRRELEVANT TO THE ISSUE? THANKS :)
