After marriage found out 3rd party

[jin2x 4]

I need help for my sister. Any advice on what to do are very welcome.

 

I have sister who came this year fiancé visa. Sad to know that they after they got married she found out that her husband cheating on her. They always argue coz of the 3rd party. She  has 1 kid with her  two weeks ago she found out that she’s pregnant. She wanted to go home coz her husband also never treat her like she’s a wife. He barely buy her like personal items and when my sister bought lotion it’s a big deal to her husband coz it worth of $5. We all know everything is expensive. I feel sorry for her. I send her lots of personal items also my niece. 
 
her husband telling her he will get the child after she delivered the child and he never file the 2 years green card coz according to him she’s staying at home only . she don’t need a green card.   He tried to scared my sister for telling her also if she go home he will never support the child. I was pissed and finally reach out my sister husband telling him he cannot traitening my sister coz I know laws here in the U.S . He never filled income tax for 2024 . Coz he will owe lots of money to the IRS . He is self employed and from last yr income he will pay about $30k and he keep telling he will never file taxes anymore . Which the W2 is the most important to file green card. Since my sister arrived this year of January she still not a permanent resident and I have a friend who also advised me if he never filed the green card at all my sister can seek  like Catholic charities organization. 
 

is anybody experienced like my sister ?

 

I seek immigration lawyer they only told me  she can go if she want to go home or stay married and divorced later. But the problem he will never process the paperwork. And I couldn’t do anything for her coz she came here as a fiance visa. 
 

any advice on what to do for my sister? 
 

I appreciate to those who willingly give me advice.

Well since she's married, she could try for VAWA but you'd need more proof - there's a big thread on VAWA, perhaps ask there? 

 

This is why I call K-1 visa visa from hell - she's at the mercy of the petitioner for a lot of things.

If your sister wants to go home now is the time.  Once the baby is born she will not be able to leave without the father's consent and by the sounds of your post he will never allow it. If the first child is not his then get them on a plane back home like she wants. If it is his help her find a lawyer.

She needs a Divorce Lawyer, she does need to stay in the US to Divorce.

I would say tell your sister to leave USA, give birth in her home country. This way she can have a child with her. If she stays here her husband might make things difficult for her and as some one said she wouldn't be able to leave without father's permission. 

 

She can also file VAWA in her home country.

I was just thinking that assuming she leaves and has the child back home which seems the logical route, she could still file for child support. Now any judgement is only worthwhile if she can collect and that seems tricky.
