I'm terrified--USCIS is giving a blatant scammer a GC and I don't seem to be able to stop them

[love4life09 15]

I’m scared sick. I am trying to prevent my wife who clearly scammed me, leaving hours after receipt by USCIS of the Adjustment of Support, to move to Arizona to be with her illegal sister there. She left on January 8^th 35 days after our marriage, just hours after USCIS notice of acceptance of Adjustment of Status, never to return. No tears, no explanation--just a calm "thank you," (ticket waiting at the airport send by illegal sister in AZ)

On January 15^th I wrote USCIS at NBC, PO Box 648002, Lee’s Summit, MO 64002 asking to withdraw support for pending I-485 application. Sent by traceable mail.

On January 27^th, I did an Infopass meeting and handed papers to the agent asking to withdraw my Affidavit of Support. Agent said this will stop the process.

Now:

Today Case Status Flipped to : “On February 21, 2014, we ordered production of your new card.

These jerks are going to give this scammer a GC and I do not seem to be able to stop them.

I will do another Infopass, though the site is now down. Would someone please tell me which option to use in this case?

We offer 4 kinds of appointments for a case that you have already filed. Please choose from the following -

Order from Immigration Court - If you were directed to us for processing based on an order from the Immigration Judge. You must bring all documents required in the post order instructions given to you by the court.

Case Processing Appointment - If you received a notice to go to your local office for further case processing.

EAD inquiry appointment - If your I-765 employment authorization application has been pending for more than 90 days.

Case Services follow-up appointment - If it has been over 45 days since you contacted NCSC and have not received a response to your inquiry. You must bring the Service Request ID Number related to your inquiry to the appointment.

Just what I need, to be financially responsible for a blatant scammer for a decade. If this happens it’s a death sentence for me. I could not bear such injustice.

Nightmare upon nightmare.

Any suggestions appreciated.

ANNULMENT , based on fraud and misrepresentation .Will render the marriage as though it never existed .

[yailukmuu 26]

Would filing for an annulment ,in lieu of divorce ,based on immigration fraud ,be a possibility?

She would HAVE to be present for court proceedings in HIS jurisdiction ,which is unlikely.

Could that render previous immigration proceedings (other than K1 ) null and void ?

Yes it would, in some states this is a possibility, a good one. But State law rules here and NH, my state only has annulment for cases where religious improprieties occur. Fraud is not an acceptable cause of action for annulment here, sadly. In other states, yes, and a good one but not NH.

And that's a good question--would annulment render the K1 null and void. My answer: I haven't a clue. That's see a lawyer territory.

Why is it the majority of these cases I see come from the Philippines?

Because Philippines should be treated like Nigeria.

Annulment, annulment, annulment! Annulment was meant for cases like this...fraud. If you get a divorce, she has rights such as to your property and support. Annulment is as if the marriage never took place.

If your situation is as you say it is, you should have no problems getting an annulment.

Good luck!

The green card will be mailed to the address listed on the I-485... which should be your home address. When you receive it, make an info pass appt and turn it in to USCIS.

If nothing works and she gets the green card, in two years it will expire and she will not be able to ROC without you.

I am not saying this the case here, but people should watch for RED FLAGS, I am sorry but this bs of women in hers 20/25 with man 50/55 for me is a RED RED RED flag, with a few exceptions,man sending money to the woman as soon they start dating,one,two visits and get married, dating 2/5months and proposal etc..the list is huge , people need just to pay attention to these signs.

OP: This is the EAD! Not the GC.

You said yourself you checked a DIFFERENT CASE NUMBER!

Each case (I-485, I-131, I-765) have DIFFERENT NUMBERS!

You can't check a different number, and then think it is the original number. Different numbers are different things, do you understand?

Follow up on getting the I-864 cancelled, and good luck. Have you made infopass to cancel the I-864?

Annulment is controlled by State law. New Hampshire only allows annulment in cases involving religious issues. It's as simple as that and it cost me about $400 to obtain that answer.

In other states--you are correct.

Harpa - good catch, EAD vs GC !

re: Infopass to withdraw the I-864 - he did that, earlier, now he's scared that the thing getting issued is the green card.

ok - a hypothetical thing from me, for today

something arrives in the mail to the OP's address. Let's say it's the EAD. He can peer into it without opening it. He would rebundle this envelope inside another envelope with a letter stating that he's already withdrawn the I-864 and the beneficiary turned out to be a visa scammer, and ask the receipient of his letter to actually do the research to connect with the filing of the withdrawal with the AOS casefile.

OTOH, if this was the greencard that showed up, I recommend a similar approach, face to face, via infopass, asking for the floor supervisor in the window area, not leaving until the floor supervisor has entered stuff into the computer, and the OP getting a receipt of the withdrawal. It will require some talking with this supervisor, some guidance on what to do, and some reminding about the withdrawal process.

Yes, Harpa Timsah, thanks to help from posters I have sorted out the three. I have found the corresponding correct number but the "check your case" website has been offline since last night. Since 31 days have passed from receipt by USCIS at Lee's Summit, and yes I handed papers over to the local Agent at an INFOPASS meeting on January 27th.

Back on page one Darnell itemized a plan of action and that's what I'll do. It's sort of insane to keep throwing paper into the void. I'm hopeful that my Congresswoman or Senator will have an immigration staffer deal directly with the Congressional Liaison Official within USCIS and I'll ask that my request be retroactive to the Jan 21 receipt or the Jan 27th INFOPASS meeting.

Keep the INFOPASS appointment on Monday and continue with email/phone/in person contact with immigration aide. You want proof you've been to infopass on two occasions - write down the name/ID number of the person you speak with at the Infopass so you can update the immigration aide and they can follow up on all this for you.
