So if that's the case and she has her 2 year Green Card (not her 10 year green card, not her citizenship), then I should just go ahead and report her and see what happens, and leave it in the hands of USCIS.

Worst case scenario is USCIS does nothing.

Best case scenario is that something and someone finally holds someone accountable around here, for lies and deception.


 

You were deceptive too though, as you admitted. You had this information before and did nothing with it. How do you suggest they hold you accountable?

A 2 year green card holder is a resident. She cannot be found guilty of anything after the fact as she is already a resident. 

The questions were already asked on the I485. 

Let it go. 

Get a quiet divorce. 

She has a lot more on you than you perceive. 

She can sue you for spousal support based on the I864 AT MINIMUM.

You're still welcome. 

I strongly suggest you do some research on DV in case it bites you in the hiney.

DV does NOT equivocate to physical violence. You are very misunderstood. 

DV is many things including a lot of which you have mentioned. 

If you are in an at fault state she could make your life complicated if she filed a contested divorce based on DV.

..Luckily, we filed for divorce jointly and uncontested. It's just going to take 12-15 months to finalize, per the lawyer, because of covid slow downs in the courts apparently. 

It was filed literally a week after I submitted my Benefits package at work, so she's going to be on my benefits for a year.

When I get back from vacation, I will attempt to talk to HR directly to try and get her off of it.

I'm willing to accept any punishment they have for me as a first time offender and someone who isn't an immigration law expert. 

And as someone who was initially in a loving relationship with my spirited and plucky wife at the time, who convinced me that it was not a big deal.

I doubt I'm going to get the chair.

Won't happen until after divorce. 

Legally, you cannot remove a spouse from HI benefits until after divorce is final.

Thread is moved from the "AOS from K Visas" forum to the Effects of Major Changes forum -- green card is already issued.

...I'll consider your advise, but I can't let go of the fact that I don't see anywhere on USCIS website that backs up what you're saying.

That basically, she can do whatever she wants and break any laws and has absolute immunity, now that she has the all encompassing and all powerful green card.

It seems I have nothing to lose by reporting her and testing your theory.

Based on what you posted (screenshot from USCIS), it says there are certain exception. The exception is she married a US citizen. That violation is forgiven.

Damn. I just can't catch a break. 

[Boiler 43,754]

It is not a theory

 

I have lost count of the number of disappointed spouses we have seen on VJ, the number USCIS see must be outstanding.

Yeah but I have clear evidence of her working before we were married, i.e., before August 2021. 

And you're reading a lot into exceptions, no..?

You're assuming as such.

She has the video of when you shoved her.

----

If you must report her, get an InfoPass appointment with USCIS, and ask to speak with the FDNS officer.  Hand that officer all your objective evidence of your wife's illegalities.  (They cannot accept recorded media.)  Keep vitriol out of it.  Keep foremost in your mind that you will NEVER hear of any result or outcome.  File it, and forget it.  If you insist on wanting to file a report, this is the way that things have to be.

Go for it but...

Perhaps she is here and reading all of this too.

Like I said, she has a lot more ammo than you perceive. 

About 8 years of it if she wishes to sue based on the I864. She could quit her job and you'd be required to pay $1400ish/month in support.

This isn't the first time someone has wanted to punish their immigrant in the forums.

Final but sadly repetitive thought: Tread lightly. Like a mouse.

Overstays and working without authorization are things that are forgiven when marrying a US citizen. Even if THE TWO OF YOU would have answered truthfully about the working part she would have gotten her Greencard if you like it or not.
