Spouse cheated. I am a US citizen. I sponsored her. How do I delay her Citizenship process?

[Johnteller 1]

I sponsored my wife a year ago and this week I discovered that she was cheating on me while she was back home and also while she is here. 

I am beginning to feel she married me to obtain US Passport. 

She confessed to every wrongdoing she did and i have evidence of her cheating. I need to understand whether she married me for the sake of obtaining US citizenship. 

I can forgive her, but I gave her condition to be faithful.

Meanwhile I want to restrict her from obtaining citizenship in which she can get in 2 years.

What are the steps?

Divorce her and she will have to wait 4 more years.

I love her and want to give her a second chance but I don't want her to get Maybe what her intention was. ( or still maybe is).

Emotion is playing a key here. I am furious but also attached. Hope you understand.

[LionessDeon 2,060]

I do understand but you can't "restrict her".  I am sorry this happened to you.  I hope you both can work through it.

It would actually be good for you if she became a citizen then you are of the hook. 

 

Other then that move on, no reason for you to start the whole how so I stop the process of immigration/citizen.

Live and let live.  Divorce and move on

Sorry but you can't do anything with her immigration.

Spouses sometimes cheat, thats why one should really get to know a person before making a serious

decision as marriage, USCIS dont see cheating as deportable, even if she admitted to cheating, talk

to her see what she wants, check yourself, can still trust & want her, then seek counselling if both are on

the same page, if not move on dont let hate & anger over-take you. You will find someone better, even USC

spouses cheat

One way or the other, she will need to wait at least 2 more years till she can get citizenship. You think in two years, you still won't have made up your mind if you want to divorce or keep being married?

A friend of mine advised me to notify USCIS as marriage fraud where wife didn't commit to relationship with good faith. 

Do you think that's possible? 

I am trying to work things out.

You  can delay by divorcing.

That doesn't mean fraud.  Cheating =/= fraud

If she married you in good faith ON THE DAY of your marriage, and cheated a year later, then it's not marriage fraud because at the TIME of marriage the marriage was in good faith. You can't claim fraud unless she was cheating on you (and you can prove it) before you married her, during your wedding, and after your marriage. If she cheated on you after the marriage and it was even just a few months, it can be chalked up to her just straying.

Just because she married you doesn't mean she has to commit to you as bad as that sounds. People who come in on spousal visas get cheated on all the time and have divorces, if committing to the relationship and being 100% faithful was in the rules, then none of the people who divorced would have their green card still.


She just had to have married you in good faith, she doesn't have to stay with you or be faithful. The only cases where there were marriage fraud where like when the spouse had another husband in another country, or continuously talked to someone and had straight up said "Hey I'm marrying him for a green card".

You can delay her citizenship by divorcing her, but she can still get it later on.

Do yourself a big favor. Go out and get drunk, wait 3 days then file for divorce before she does. You can't do anything about her citizenship except possibly by divorcing her. I feel sorry for you but your story is not uncommon and the answer is always the same. Cheating is not fraud and trying to prove actual fraud is almost impossible and USCIS has heard it all. Please research the forums and threads and you will see very quickly what everyone is telling you.
