What would you do?

If it were me I'd play along and find out were he lives and write his wife a nice letter, it's better she knows now so she can protect herself from his fraudulent azz, but that's just me

Err.. From the OP's original post, the USC wife is most likely in the marriage scam for money, so she won't care.

I understand how annoyed you are. My husband had an online buddy commit visa fraud. They got married in Canada and with the help of a lawyer, lied to the CBP and she AOS'd. He was most annoyed when this guy was already living with his wife while we were still waiting. But he later found out the guy wasn't happy in his marriage so there's some Karma already.

If it was me, with this guy in your class, I'd probably inform ICE because it's the right thing to do, and you owe him nothing. They wont do anything most likely, but at least you know you did the right thing.

I agree, I'll report and maybe nothing will happen but at least it's the right thing to do.

Unfortunately, hearsay doesn't cut it.

While my wife was 6 months into what turned out to be an 8-month AOS process, at a social gathering we overheard the mother of 1/2 of a "couple" who married, AOS'd and divorced all within 3 months basically bragging because the "husband" received his GC so fast that her daughter didn't have to stay "married" that long. Infuriating is what it was, especially knowing that the sham couple probably got near-zero scrutiny because the "husband" was from Canada, while my wife's case dragged on and on for what seemed like an eternity.

My classmate bragged to me how easy it was for him to immigrate here saying, "only took me 1 1/2 years to come her." Only??? If you are waiting to be with your loved one 1 1/2 years feels like FOREVER! 3 months away from my husband and I hate every moment.

Not trying to judge you but you're sounding like you're bitter because you are not having it easy migrating here and he's been able to illegally do it. That's more reason why USCIS is most likely going to think you're just framing something up out of bitterness or whatever. If you ever report, don't be putting your feelings into it. The case (which already has no weight because it's all hearsay and not backed by any concrete evidence) will sink like a bag of sand in water!!

Bah,

I've heard and seen many illegal immigration cases even before my wife and I started our journey.

Was solicited twice as a youth to get paid to marry someone so they can get a GC. It was around $3,000 I remember. Not gonna lie, I though about it for half a second because I was young and broke at the time. Ironically, it wasn't the fear of getting caught and jailed that detoured me. It was the fear of marriage.

I know a young woman in the D.R. who is willing to do anything (and anyone) to get to the US. She is on just about every dating website that is available soliciting for a "husband". She is very attractive and speaks fluent English. The only problem is she has one of the worse attitudes I have ever seen. She can attract any man with her looks, but at the same time run them away with her disposition. And she doesn't make it a secret that she will lie, cheat, and steal to get here.

Have met people who have admitted to being illegal or having family that is illegal. But it was usually along the lines of stories of escaping extreme poverty or violence in their home country. Basically, to them it was survive while looking over their shoulder every day in the US or die of starvation in a ditch back home.

Never had anyone down right "brag" about it to me. If so then I would shut it down (the bragging) very quickly.

Unfortunately, I don't have any physical evidence and I don't want to go out of my way to get it. I'll just contact ICE his name and his intentions. After hearing him brag about how easy it is to get in America I couldn't stand listening anymore lol.

Thanks all for your input! You all say report him to ICE and I will do that.

You do have physical evidence........ He told you this was all a plan to get his girlfriend and kids to America honestly I would report him you never know they just may deport him for lying to get in USA tell them everything that he told you. I recently married overseas I know how hard the process is and just the cost alone is a lot. I hear a lot about visa fraud and marriage fraud but even more since being on here it's really upsetting how somebody can so easily lie to the government and still receive the visa or green card. I believe when you marry it's for love and till death do you part but too many take advantage of that and here is a perfect example. Maybe there should be a law if the marriage ends in divorce you go back to your country I dk I just hope nobody attacks me for what I just said but if somebody enters the country to marry and it doesn't work out why stay ??

I had almost the same thing happen to me. There is this guy I know at the gym from Pakistan, good guy, nice and friendly help each other out while weight lifting. I asked him how he came here, he told me with a student visa at first and then found some agency to help him stay by a fraudulent marriage. How they helped him stage photos, paperwork to make it look like they were together, he told me paid upwards of $10k for all that. I was pretty mad at first but then I realized there is nothing that ICE will do.

Of course there's something you can do, innocently ask for details about the agency that helped him and report THEM to ICE.

I doubt they'd do anything about deporting individuals based on sham marriages but I'm sure as hell they'd be interested in investigating a company making a business out of it.
