2 marriages .confused

[Hopeforbest 9]

Hi there

Posting on behalf of a friend who share his suitition with me today he don't have pc to make login id to post question.

 He told me today that somebody came from embassy for verification (background check) before issue the visa as interview was done time ago and embassy had passport and all stuff. The man who came for verification found out that my friend had 2 marriages. 1 who live here and sec who live in usa (the petitioner) .he also told man took somekind of sign on verification paper his brother is law ,casuion,and from his father .

 Now he is worried about and requesting to what to do.

So your friend is married in his home country (wife 1) and also married to an American (wife 2)?

 

If above is true that will not end well for your friend.

Well, does he have two wives? If so, he won't be able to get a marriage-based visa. If the marriage to the local woman ended lawfully before he married the American woman then he needs to provide legal proof of that - but that should have been done with the I-130 and at the NVC stage.

He also likely will be charged of misrepresentation and get a lifetime ban - if he has two wives.

He did marry to local woman when case was at nvc stage.he said he married usa wife 2014 and in 2015 he marry local woman.any solution of this situation to come out.?

Wait, he married the USA citizen in 2014 and started the visa process, then in 2015 he married someone in his home country? Why?! Did he break up with the first wife?

You really need to give more info. From the little you have said, it looks like he's being fraudulent.

This is an interesting story, but I am not sure where the confusion lies.  He married a US citizen back in 2014, then in 2015 he married someone else locally with apparently the other marriage still ongoing.  I am guessing they did not file for the spousal visa immediately in 2014, but who knows, this could just be a lengthy case.  The long and short of it is he apparently has two wives which won't fly past the USCIS.

Does problem slove if he divorce local wife now?

[Hopeforbest 9]

He also told me his local marrige is not registered in marriage office .how u guys see it

[sparkles_ 456]

I am pretty sure there is nothing that can be done. He committed bigamy(USCIS huge no-no) and not even accidental bigamy which happens innocently from time to time. Honestly, he should probably divorce the American and enjoy his local life with the local wife since he will be getting a material misrep ban most likely. Registered or not, that is why USCIS and the embassy send real humans out to verify these things that happen off the books.

Does his US wife know he married someone locally as well ?

Not sure why you expect people here to help out with an obvious fraud.

  Waiting for the post from some poor USC who has no idea why their spouse goes on AP and then the case gets returned.   Shall we place bets on the country of this friend. 

 My advise for the friend is that he avoid marriage until his lower head is well trained enough to know where it wants to be.

NO. The issue is not only being married to the local wife, but he also committed fraud during immigration process. He may very well get a permanent ban.

Doesn't matter. Immigration knows about it now. That is why they did the visit/ investigation. It is on his file and he can't go back and erase it.

 

He committed fraud by marrying another woman when he has another wife petitioning him. He is out of luck.

Bigamy is illegal and a crime.

 

Divorce does not unring the bell - it doesn't undo the crime.

 

Your friend is looking at deportation.
