If the spouse was also legally married to someone else when filing the I130 and it was not disclosed, would that be an issue?

This is an issue, however, from the change for this issue to become an immigration proceeding may not be high. OP's ex-husband could get away with police report /civil docs submitted and was able to get married to OP.  None of the docs indicated he was married to someone else. USCIS/ICE must work with his home-country officials to determine some fraud was committed, I do not think they go this far.

Well IF he committed bigamy that would be an issue, no mention of any evidence to support that, I tend to assume that this is similar to other situations I have seen, probably a ban for something, waiver etc which was why it took so long and he had a local GF in the meantime.

I agree, there was an alluding to that in the OP, but having suspicions and actually having proof are two very different things.

hello, 

 

        Im stuck in a bad situation right now, going through a bad divorce. After all these years of waiting for my soon to be ex husband to be home in the states with me turned out to be a 

a fake fake person. We married in his home country back in 2010 everything was a long process...I would travel to visit him occasionally...  well his visa finally got approved back in august of 2018

everything seemed to be going fine until he came home..... I found a wedding ring in his bag with his initial and the girl I caught him talking to initial ....but of course typical man denied everything. 

He pretty much left a family back home and possibly remarried and he couldn't be honest with me of course he wasn't going to give up this opportunity.  My question is what can I do at this point ?

is there anything I can do for fraud because thats what it was on his part. He came home august of 2018 and he left to live with his sister in October of 2018 . He pretty much just came to stay with me got

his permanent resident card then he booked it with all the excuses a lying man thats been caught in his game.

 

 

That almost happened to me, thank goodness I got out on time. I am soo sorry

This is where I think she has the upper hand, if she can prove that he was already married, the marriage and be "voided" and he would be in a whole heap of #######, honestly this whole thing is a major risk and not something that I would do again tbh. I feel terrible for the OP, I hope she could find out if he infact is married and crucify his (removed).

I believe the man was married when he “married” OP. 

 

Ergo he didn’t actually marry OP.  

 

Thus his visa should not have been issued.  

 

And his green card should be revoked. And the man deported and banned for life. 

 

And presumably bigamy is illegal in his home country.  

 

Start with https://www.uscis.gov/report-fraud/combating-marriage-fraud-and-abuse--immigration-benefit-programs

This right here, OP find out if he was married somehow, if he is report it and his greencard revoked.

[EmilyW 1,222]

a) OP, I'm sorry you're going through this.

 

b) Take all steps to legally protect yourself.

 

c) Gather any / all evidence you have re his previous marriage.

 

d) Send that evidence to USCIS.  Get yourself a divorce.

 

e) Go forth and live a happy life.  You're due.

For those who are confused by my responses, bigamy is a crime and if the OP's husband entered the marriage already married, there is a good chance that that greencard can be revoked .

I would be less concerned with getting his GC revoked (If USCIS doesn't want to do their due diligence and check to make sure he can legally marry/be here, that's their problem, just stay away from him and keep yourself safe). I'd be more interested in if providing proof of the prior marriage will not only null the marriage, but the affidavit she signed, which now would have been signed under false pretenses. In my opinion, who cares if this guy gets to stay in the country, so long as the OP isn't financially responsible for him due to the fact that he allegedly lied about being eligible to marry. 

 

Don't get me wrong. There should be consequences to these types of things, if proven, but if I were in this situation my top concern would be removing my legal financial responsibility to a lying sack of ###.

A ring does not prove he is/was married to someone else. Not sure which country he is from and how easy it would be to find evidence of an actual legal marriage, thus making his current marriage up the OP null and void. 

 

Having a lover on the side is not enough for immigration fraud to be decided. There was recently a thread from a female USC who found her husband’s profile on a gay dating website. She was naturally very upset and hurt and wanted to have him arrested or deported or both for marriage fraud but having a picture on a website is not enough to get ICE knocking at the door. The same applies to flirty messages with another or a ring found in a bag.

Dear ohh dear.

 

The OP was ranting, quite a bit of misandry in there, she was married in 2010 and the only thing she mentioned with any solidity was the ring with 2 initials, everything else was speculation.

I agree and also with some evidences, making USCIS/ICE act is another story.  Country like Vietnam only considers a couple is legally married when they have registered and received the marriage certificate - living together, having kids, calling each other husband and wife, having traditional wedding, etc won't make it a legal marriage. Without obtaining a marriage certificate to the other person, proving it as a fraud marriage in US court can be impossible.

Lets us see if the OP comes back, at the moment all I see is a unpleasant divorce. Well at least there are no children. The I 864 is usually more a theoretical issue.

I think OP is saying her husband was already married before marrying her.

Maybe not married but in a co-habitational union with kids....like in a common-law relationship. Those have no marriage license so if he put 'single' on his initial application, he's not lying. It sucks for the OP, though.

@SarahX20 Read this. This could have been you! 

 

To the OP, Im so sorry this happened to you. No one deserves to be defrauded. Im praying for you and thats all I can offer as many senior members here can offer you great advice.

If you suspect fraud marriage you can report it to USCIS and ICE.

Other than that since he already has a 10 year green card there's nothing else you can do. Just divorce and move on. You'll still be on hook for his Affidavit of Support.

she can withdraw her AFFIDAVIT OF SUPPORT  though cant she?
