Send a letter to your ICE and USCIS and hand deliver to your local office ( better to over notify than under ) Make sure you send so you get a receipt with signature

[Caryh 5,206]

Make it a simple letter, stating your wife has left the marital home and you do not know where she is living. Include her full name and A number from her visa. You can make an appointment at your local office and drop it off. In reality you don't need to do anything other than file for divorce. You're not on the hook for the affidavit of support. She cannot adjust status, unless she files under VAWA, and you will not be informed if she does.

This is not true either. There is a divorce waiver if the person can show that the marriage was entered in good faith. A person does not need to stay with the USC for two years.

Do you have more information on this, or a reference document?

Sure, the I-751 instructions.

But, if I remember, in your case, you cancelled the AOS. So this would not be relevant or possible for your wife. That is for people who got their GCs already.

Matter of Sesay states that someone adjusting from a K-1 can still adjust, if they married the petitioner within the 90 days, even if they divorce before the green card is issued. However, you cannot be approved for the AOS unless the petitioner, which would now be the ex-spouse, has already provided an I-864 or is willing to provide one for you. So to me, this does not really change anything. When people divorce before the AOS is approved and withdraw the I-864(or never submit one), the AOS will be denied. http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/USCIS/Outreach/Notes%20from%20Previous%20Engagements/2012/March%202012/AILA_Field_Ops_32112_Cleared.pdf

If they already have the conditional green card before they divorce, then they can file for ROC on their own with a divorce waiver.

My understanding is that God no longer works for USCIS. He kept "poofing" green cards and such into existence out of thin air and a class action suit was brought by some notable posters here.

One thing to think about, Chris - we often see the beneficiary coming back after they realize they need the USC to apply for removal of conditions. Many have warned of the false VAWA filing potential, but so is false reconciliation. You can be firm without being malicious. Personally, I would be kind enough to help them back to their home country in a way that did not risk my personal safety/future.

That's the answer I was looking for. I thought it only applied to those with a 2 year card. Add this to the stack of bad information she is getting.

i will definitely be firm with my decision even if she tries to reconcile with me. she's been gone for awhile now and i don't know if i can trust her again.

what are the chances she will suceed in filing a false vawa accusation? what kind of evidence does uscis look for? our fight are always verbal and a lot of time just ignoring each other for days until one folds and apologies.

Pretty good. The entry bar is pretty low, hence why it's the go-to scam tool.

Plenty of examples on this site.
