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

[Gjhdlab31 10]

My question is.....Is your wife from the Phillipines? If so, keep in mind that visas are being expedited for people coming from the Phillipines because of the latest disaster that hit. Anyway I do wish you the best. Being scammed is a very painful feeling, but we do have some people that cares only for their well being and not others.

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

Darnell are you saying cancel my Monday Infopass meeting and instead put all efforts at talking to the Immigration Liason Staffer? Or do both?

Lainie: "When you apply for AOS, EAD and AP each get their own case number and they are usually consecutive. Did she apply for the EAD? Maybe you are looking at the approval for the EAD not the GC. Check the NOA1s for what was submitted if you have them. Case numbers don't change as far as I know."

This makes sense, I'll check tomorrow to see if I can figure it out.

Avery, there could be, but she'll be hard pressed to get approval, no police involvement, nobody can claim witness, I was careful not to call (Oh he said he was going to do...), no nothing. I realize VAWA is horribly misused, and it is possible--but is zero ground for any restraining order. I worry more about her maybe meeting with (hypothetical possbility) a bf who is an illegal in Arizona, having 4 babies over four years, collecting TANIF, subsidized housing, food stamps...all of which I'd be billed for IFmy I-864 is not withdrawn in time.

Boiler... the I-864 is the Affidavit of Support, I filled it out, I read it...legally I can withdraw it. I haven't a clue as to what you are talking about. If you have something of value to add, please put it out there clearly instead of cryptically. What you say makes no sense...now perhaps you are correct--but please---state what you mean in a manner that I can understand.

Thanks all, I really appreciate the help.

And yes, my nerves are a bit on edge.

How could anyone do like that? So horrible

Expediting visas for the Philippines has nothing to do with the AOS timeframe. She already got her visa and entered and married. It's the green card that is in question.

That should be EAD card notice, but may be she change your home address to new address she is living now and the card will go in her new address and never arrive to your home….. special USCIS wrote Your new card,

Then, i think go talk to info pass people. also report the police your wife as a missing person too, How are you sure , she gave to you her real information about her sister or the address ?

Give the police her address she gave you it. see what happen. also put the police report about her and send to USCIS with one of copy of page her file number on it.

THe police reaport will help you , during dvorce too

I'm sorry to hear that.

If I were you I would forget about her and focus on getting a divorce. You need to start thinking about yourself and how you will get your life back on track.

Let karma deal with her

Good luck

You signed for her, not any sprogs she might produce.

Not much a single adult can get in the US of A, and even then try and find an example of where the Feds have enforced it.

Yes ,You Right, he will need start to thinking about himself soon . But after Fix this problem she made for him.

I heard the Karma doesn't work when you can stop and fix your problem by yourself.

What will happen, if the Karma didn't work in USA,

Your words sound like you are trying to support the scamer !!!!!!!!!!!

Let it go.

The I 864 does not in practice cover much.

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 ?

[yailukmuu 26]

in truth, any of those listed options will work,

however,

you should engage with an Immigration Liason Staffer* on Monday, instead.

* This is a human at yer Congressman's office, they communicate directly with USCIS office staff, always a Congressional Liason Human inside of USCIS. Call around at the various offices, ask who handles immigration stuff - get the name, email address, and fax number.

Firstly - find a congressman this weekend (senator or representative). Study their website. Most have the privacy-act form for release of information that you need to fill out. Prep your letter of inquiry. You probably got a receipt ticket something from that infopass appointment. Prep your scans/pdf files, etc, and :

0. Talk with the ILS Human via phone.

1. fax all to the ILS Human.

2. email all to the ILS Human

3. Talk with the ILS Human a second time , expressing the urgency of the matter.

IMO, the ILS Human will get it done quicker.

What you want to happen is for the withdrawal done at the infopass to be retro-actively handled,

the 'as of' date being the date you handed it over,

and the further production of the card stopped.

Calm down a bit, prep yer stuff this weekend, pull the trigger on Monday with an ILS Human. You've a very small window to be productive.

Thank you Darnell, I'd send the following by IM but that does not seem allowed. So:

One question.

I'm reading as do the liaison officer only, and don't bother with another Infopass meeting and don't bother sending a second set (request) to USCIS at Lee's Summit, MO. But now do it entirely through the LO. If I have that incorrect please let me know.

If you get the chance, please clarify.

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

Word. And I could answer that question very clearly and concisely, but I fear it may be against the TOS.

[2ndMessiah 184]

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

Philippines= High fraud country.

Lots of young women from the Philippines wanting a better standard of life. Green card seems to be the accepted way. The way to do this is snag an American husband

There are lots of American men (generally older men) looking for young women to marry who are probably less demanding and not so sure of themselves as American women.

This leads to this situation a lot. Guys on here posting how their wife left them as soon their green cards arrived.

Or The wife posting on here on how their American husband suddenly changed and became aggressive and abused them, so they left.

What a mess. I live In NH as well and when I was having trouble at the NVC and when my husband was in AP I contacted and was in constant contact with a liaison from Senator Jeanne Shaheen's office, I suggest you contact him. His name is Peter Clark, the phone number is (603)647-7500 in Manchester, the number at the Nashua office is (603)883-0196 and his email is peter_clark@shaheen.senate.gov. I would email him this weekend and explain your situation and call him first thing on Monday morning. He spends most of his time at the Manchester office so try there first, if you call and they say he's in Nashua call there, if he doesn't answer leave your name and contact info and he will contact you, he was very fast about always returning my calls even when I was in Jordan. He will have you fill out the privacy act release form, you can email it to him. He was very thorough and he really kept on top of things for us. Good luck and keep us updated.
