Reporting fraud

[peaceandblessing 1]

Not sure if I can still report fraud but it was just brought to my attention that my husband actually confirmed how I felt that he was using me for paperwork and that someone had told him that if he had a child he would still be able legally to stay here even if he filed for divorce . I have a child that we went through several fertility treatments to conceived and  he has absolutely nothing to do w his child. Smh

To help members please let us know where in the process your husband is at. 

 

It is sad that he help make a child just to stay in the US. Depending on what stage of the process he is on he could have stayed without the need to cause damage to a child who didn't ask for this. 

 

To report fraud at the bottom of this and every other page you can click the link. Send them everything you have as proof.

Judging from past posts he has a 10 year GC so can stay whatever.

If you have quality, documented evidence of fraud, you can submit it to USCIS.   I believe there is a marriage fraud section on their site.

 

If is a matter of “someone said,” then they won’t bother to investigate it.

[JeanneAdil 7,078]

Even with proofs,  ICE will not investigate

you went thru all to prove the relationship 

you married and he didn't need to father a child to stay 

divorce and move on as he can stay 

and understand the following from Nolo law

 

https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/what-should-i-i-believe-i-am-victim-marriage-fraud.html

 

If your spouse has already received the ten-year green card, there is little else you can do besides "turn him in" for marriage fraud. You may report your suspicion that you were an innocent victim of a scam to USCIS or Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

However, remember that the warning that "anything you say can and will be used against you" applies here. If there is any reason for USCIS or ICE to suspect that you were complicit in the fraudulent marriage, you could also be investigated. To put it bluntly, these immigration agencies "have seen it all." While a number of U.S. citizens have been duped by green card scammers who pretend to be in love, there have also been plenty of instances where embittered U.S. citizens have reported their immigrant spouses, even if the marriage WAS in good faith.

In other terms, don't shoot yourself in the foot.

I am sorry this happened to you.
 

When dealing with a law enforcement agency, especially a federal law enforcement agency, you need to remind yourself of the adage: “anything you say can and will be used against you”. 
 

As you have worded it, a law enforcer could easily interpret / twist what you’ve written as saying that you suspected immigration fraud at the time you were preparing his immigration paper work and you went ahead with it.  Thus the law enforcer might suspect you as being an accessory.  
 

So ask yourself if you think you can articulate your complaint in a way that does not implicate you as your first attempt doesn’t come off well.  
 

I agree with the consensus: let this one go.

Make sure you have proof ready if not you might end up bitting your own tongue, by then you might be held responsible as an accomplice of uscis benefits fraud.

He came over on a K-1visa in 2016 we've completed the 2 year Visa and he just received the 10 year green card some time in April 2020. I honestly  Looking back on it now we were actually on our way to separate because we just realized that we were different and he was so adamant about us working things out and that we were strong enough to be together and I kid you not as soon as that card came I was not even a part of the rest of the process, then I was told shortly after that that I needed to move on that if I had found someone else that it was ok sometimes things just don't work out. He's done everything to destroy this family and then started the physical and emotional abuse and then him recently telling me that he did use me and that he was told that if he had a kid even if he divorced me he would still be entitled to stay and there was nothing that I could do About it but honestly the only evidence that I do have is letters of concern from my neighbors ,my family, my child ,and friends that felt before that he was using me.  An account I setup on tik tok where he stated he was single  and the two police reports. 

I know they can use it against me In a court of law and trust me if I  was faking this I would have never brought a child into this world under these circumstances including my child from a previous relationship.  It's just not ok to manipulate situations to get what you want and like I said the biggest thing is my son is hurting because he doesn't have his father and this guy never intended to be a dad.  He spends no time  nor any kind of  support he literally disappeared and  left me to pick up the pieces.

Having gone thru K1, AOS, and ROC and now almost 1.5 years after successful ROC, uscis will not even bother looking into your fraud report case based on those evidences. 
1. Any other people including you just feeling that he was using you is just the hearsay or perception not tangible evidence.

2. Him mentioning he was single or having police reports doesn't prove any immigration fraud.

 

It's sad you have to go through it but the best option for you imho is divorce him and move on. The more you try to put urself in this process, the more pain you will inflict on yourself especially when uscis won't care a bit.

Sorry this happened to you.

Just move on and let karma take care of the situation
