Marriage fraud advice

Hi guys. I really need some help please. I got married overseas a few years back, but it's only 2 months ago that my husband moved to the US after obtaining his IV through the US consulate. Yesterday, only two months after, he left his phone behind, and while he was at work, I checked his phone and found that he's active not only on 1 dating website but a few others! There was also a profile of a female offering s*x in some dating site that I am not familiar with and there was a 'mutual like' between his and her profile. I am feeling really down because this was my 2nd marriage and it took just two months and I feel like a total failure and felt really hurt. I spent around $15K on him while he lived overseas as he became broke after a certain period and I was forced to also pay for our trips at the times we met overseas. Is this a ground for an annulemnt? All I have are his dating profile photos and the few photos of half naked women in his phone, plus that s*x profile where they both likd each other. I heard annulment is tough to get, so should I just file for a divorce instead of an annulment to save myself the energy and the headach?

 

P.S. Since he just moved to the US, his green card hasn't even arrived yet. I chckd his case status and it shows the day when we paid for his card which as April 1st, the day he entered the US. I asked him to leave so he's no longer living in my house, but he sure is beginning me to take him back. He now claims that he's only there because I am on facebook lol and how does he know if I'm not talking to men on FB. Mind you that my Fb profile is closed and you can only see my profile photo there, the rest are not for the public and I also ahd our mutual photos on Fb, so I don't se where the logic is in what he claims since I put up our family photos while his own FB doesn't have one single photo of us. 

What can I do now because I rally don't want him to get his g.c....

 

1) Should I go to court tomorrow and immediately try to get annulment and servie it to him?

2) an I contact USCIS and tell them not to send his g.c. to my address and explain why?

3) Should I not do anything right now, wait for his g.c. to arrive and not give it to him but rather print the datign site evidence, write a statement, and send the g.c. with the evidence back to whichever USCIS?

4) Will his 2 month living with me hurt his g.c. in the long run even if he manages to get his g.c. if it arrives soon?

 

What would be the best and most effective option for me? Again, after so many thousands of dollars lost, my 35-38 years wait time gone for thinking that I finally got married again, I really don't think he should be getting that card because I invested to much money and time into this relationship and helped him out with everything, and all I get is him on dating sites within two month...it could be even after he entered the US, but since I only discovered him a few days ago two month into our reunion as husband and wife, I am saying two month. Please help!!!

He has the I 551 stamp in the passport until he gets his GC, it will be a 10 year assuming you were married for more than 2 years when he entered.

 

Divorce lawyers vary by State and that is really something to discuss with your Lawyer, you have not mentioned any grounds for annulment.

ok so we were married on october 1, 2018 in Europe, then it took around a year and a few months or his immigration interview at US consulate, which was supposd to take place in march 2020, but due to covid the whole thing halted until a year later, so he entered the US right after obtaining his IV visa a week prior to his travel so he entered April 1 a two an a half months ago. You said if u were married for two or more years...so yes we were as it happened in europe on october of 2018 but he only got his immigration visa just now. So do I count the two years from the time of our marriage overseas or now after he entered two month ago? I'm really confused.

He has a 10 year GC no need to remove conditions.

I am sorry that you are going through this. I am sure it is difficult. However, just because he cheated on you, or wanted to do, doesn't mean this is a marriage fraud case. 

 

If he has his 10 years GC, there is not much you can do from the immigration side of it. You can still file for divorce though. That is something you determine and not the people here.

The immigration process caused me PTSD.

wait..I thought he is a LPR now..conditional green card holder. "A conditional permanent resident receives a Green Card valid for two years. To remove the conditions on your permanent resident status, you must file a petition within the 90-day period before your conditional Green Card expires."

If you divorce, he can file to remove conditions on a conditional green card IMMEDIATELY (if that is what he has).....with a divorce waiver.  He just has to show that he entered in the marriage in good faith....

He would have been issued an IR1.

I meant conditional green card holder sorry.... not lpr my bad

The reason that he has a ten year GC and does not need to remove conditions is because you were married >two years by the time he arrived with his visa.

@femme25, proving fraud will be very, very difficult....and possibly expensive.

We do not know what the fraud basis is, something for the Lawyer. Not an Immigration issue.
