Uncertain what to do

[tara2904 0]

I am married to a USCIS citizen. At first he was charming and very loving we have so may wonderful memories together. My husband became violent and scares me. He always threatens to kill me. He has been in prison for 13 years, which I have found out after doing some research. He also confess to me that he has killed his sisters husband and made it look like he committed suicide. He also stated that he killed more people. I told him I would tell the police and he said it is all circumstantial evidence and they would not believe me as he has gotten away with it for so long. I found out he has moved from the south to NYC. He said if I tried to leave him he will kill me. He also states that he will never allow me to get GC and said that he would tell USCIS that I only married him for the GC. I am now stuck and don't know what to do. I have no money no paper to get work and petrified to leave. He his tells me that I have to drop of heroin to his customers.

I was insulted and thought he was joking. He then told me how do you think I can afford to pay for my rent. I thought his wages covered it, if I asked any questions I was told to mind my own business get shouted at, and things broken. I manage to get him on tape asking me to deliver heroin package which I refused. I am stuck in the USA and is uncertain because he his from the south if anything happens to me he can skip states. He his always drunk and abusive.

He would then boast about what he has done and told me if I ever crossed him or try to snitch he would kill me and my family. He would search me to see if I was wired tap, ask constantly ask if I work for the FBI. I need to get out but he say he will not divorce me. He said he didn't get married to get divorce and I am his wife he owns me and I must do what he says. I am petrified, stress out and dying slowly. He refuses to put me on his health insurance so I could get basic medical. I am still on B2 visa and has not yet received any form of settlement. We have been married for 8 months and I have never seen someone changes as radical as this. He told me that behind this pretty face lies a monster.

He said if I ever called the police he would make sure I disappear like the people he made disappear. I am walking on eggshells here. He refuses to sign the paper to petition for me, and I am scared that I will end up in a ditch if I tried to file VAWA. Any suggestions welcome

I don't even know how to respond to this. This is just crazy to even be reading.

I'm still amazed that even in the most twisted/abusive/life-threatening for the beneficiary situations you still see the magic word VAWA.

Edit: To add something to my post that could actually be useful to the OP: if this is indeed your situation - walk out of the house and go to a women's shelter.

Get out.

Didn't your immigration guy told you when you come to USA that no one can keep you without your will.

That is why we are free, best dam country in whole world.

do not go back. Once you out you will find out there are many places where you can survive if you are hard working person.

Go to a women's shelter post haste.

I'm sorry but I don't believe a word of this story. Normal response of any person would have been to go to police (I don't see any communication issues here to do so) and not to write about it on an immigration forum. Right - murders, heroin... ridiculous.

First get out of the situation... Local women's shelter is an excellent plac to start... Get safe, then worry about the rest.. They will also have resources here to help you.

You need to go to a women's shelter immediately. This is really the best advice to give. You will receive the help you need.

I still don't under this I read this stuff over and over, people can only reach this site VJ and ask what to do. meanwhile you have the the whole world of info at your finger tips. Ones safety is more important than a card a piece of paper. look up women's shelters call the police. here is the US we help people that are abused and IF you say he has done these things the law will get to him.

A trip to your Consulate and get on the first plane home would be my recommendation.

Who would travel to the US without a Credit Card? Flex that friend and buy a ticket.

Only one post, I'm not buying it But then again I hope they get the hellp they need if I'm wrong.

Let's just assume for a second that this is a genuine post (overlooking the mention VAWA, which means she's either well-informed or has been doing some research).

First steps would be:-

1. Wait until he's out or you're out delivering his heroin. Call the Police and report him. They will ask you to make a statement and sign it and may put you in touch with an emergency shelter or take him in for questioning (buying you time to make a bid for freedom).

2. Contact a local women's shelter for accommodation and safety.

3. Call your home country's Embassy and ask for assistance with a ticket home.
4. Talk with the local courthouse or a lawyer about getting a divorce started.

All of this and the only thing you're worried about is your immigration status? This is the last place I would post any of this, (edited to remove inappropriate comment - VJ Moderation)

I would rather give solid information to someone with impure intentions than turn away someone who needs help, personally. Don't want to push a truly hurting person back into the arms of their abuser and make them think the real world out there is against them. You can never be sure who is who.
