Hello all!

I need help trying to figure out what to do. The man I married in Nigeria has abandoned the home since November 2018. He has moved to California and I am starting to think that this was his plan. He has shown so many signs that would not allow me to marry him in the U.S. Can someone help me to find out what I can do to report that he had I'll intentions once he got here? He also got 10 year Aug. 2018. He has left all responsibilities behind...while he is working on a weed farm sending pics of cars and money to his friends in Lagos.

Help!

I would advise that you divorce him and move on. You need  evidence to prove to uscis that he got married to you only for immigration purposes.

Divorce and move on. It's one of the risks taken when marrying someone from a different country... whether it is a K-1 or CR-1 visa, once the beneficiary has adjusted status/received their residency (GC), without some massive evidence to prove fraud, there's not much you can do and they can continue on their path on their own. Unfortunately, even divorced, you're still on the hook for their affidavit of support (I-864).

Do I have to go to Nigeria to divorce?  I never married him here.

You can divorce in your current state of residence.   The divorce can be completed even if you don't know where he is

You can do it in US - just check your state for requirements.  Please note that if he has met the requirements from his state of residence, he can file the divorce from there and the laws from that state may be used for the divorce.

Marijuana is still against federal law. Let USCIS know; it may prevent him from becoming a citizen.

Which might keep her on the hook for even a longer time if he does not have 40 quarters of work already?

I dont know. He received his 10 year last August...

He had always worked when here...full time. 40 quarters is a long time right? I tried calling USCIS to get help. During research, I found that the wedding certificate may be null and void due to local councils conducting marriages without being licensed.

I'm in contact with a lawyer in Nigeria and he is trying to find out if the marriage is registered at the federal courts.
