Fraud based marriage-conditional green card

[Agentk700 2]

A family member came to the US with pure intentions of being married to a woman. But no one told him his wife has schizophrenia and it is a mess that he didn’t see the few times they were together and chatting online.  Truly sad. He’s on a conditional green card now. If he ends the marriage, will he be deported or do you think it’s possible he could argue to stay here? He has a job and a support system.

When did he get his green carc?

[Agentk700 2]

About a year ago. So I believe he has one more year left.

Why did you title this thread as "Fraud based....."?  Of course, he can argue to stay here.  BOTH PARTIES have suppled a great deal of evidence that the marriage was real.

He should file for divorce now. When his divorce is file, he can file I-751 under the divorce waiver to get to get his permanent gc card. He needs to file with a copy of his final divorce decree.

This is not clear. Was it just ANY woman, with the intention of just staying and filing for a green card? Or was he in love with this person?

“When his divorce is file, he can file” —> “When his divorce is file, he can final”

When his divorce is final, he can file

 I am not understanding the issue.  If he actually dated his wife and had more interaction with his wife, he would have known her mental health diagnosis.  She would have been comfortable enough in their relationship to tell him.  Fraud does not pertain to mental health illness.

Agreed. His very first statement threw me off: "A family member came to the US with pure intentions of being married to a woman". Not clear whether it was any woman with the intention of getting a GC, and that's why it is titled as "fraud", or this woman in particular. Agree with you, strange to date someone and not know about mental health issues... Need more clarification!

not necessarily

i worked as PT with many who were suffering with   schizophrenia 

if a person takes meds as needed ,  they can  have a productive life (not necessarily the best but the best possible when they have this illness)

off their meds,    its a challenge for any person to understand their actions and thoughts and behavior

 

now,  there are also diagnosed  schizophrenia with bi-polar which is even tougher on the ill person/   they can act normal for months at a time and then  go into deep depression with  schizophrenia behavior

 

if the wife visited him on her "good days  (perhaps weeks),   then he may have only thought things like she's tired from the trip,   or even irritable from Menstral period 

 

 

Basically spending time is great,  getting to know the person face to face but this online communication has many drawbacks 

and there are many many in the US that now suffer depression after the covid 

 

OP 2 options 

1.  speak to a qualified mental health professional /  find out what to do and how to help her AND YOURSELF

2.  divorce but know your state's laws as some do not allow a person to divorce a mentally ill spouse

OP its not fraud nor even underhanded if a person -even with an illness - wants to marry and try for a normal life

 

its just somewhat sad that we,  the public,  are clueless to those who need compassion or help

Ummm...who committed fraud here? Because I don't see any, at least from what little the OP has decided to share.
