Congratulations!!!
I know it was a bit nerve racking for a while but you made it!!!!
Now comes the seriously FUN part!!!

Already said there is no compulsion, just that it would be a hurdle. And BTW I didn't burn my bra, I like my man being the head of my household, now tell me Muslim men don;t care about that either. Men in general for that matter. OOPs another generalization, surely my half-witted fiance has managed to wash what few brain cells I had left, OH well...........

and once again, I will say, I never said I was an expert. Just here to offer my opinion and advice with what I have been through. No to your question, I have never been for a long period of time in a Muslim community. Yes I do have a few "buddies here and there" but I like to call them my friends. Like I said before if you don't like what I have to say just move on, I didn't ask for advice the PO did. You are free to give your own opinion without attacking mine,

I am sure I won't be out at night as my fiance is religious and conservative, and very much practicing. That being said he does not lead me into stereo typical frame of mind that it's a one size fits all nation. I realize there is diversity and crime and haram. Yes I am learning what he tells me, that should be a good thing. I don't believe everything I read or see on the news. I was simply offering advice from where I stand. With one year under my belt, that's it, you ladies with all the info need to share with the OP what you think and not how you think what I think is so wrong. The OP should take everyone's POV into consideration as she is just 2 months in. Even if I have not been to Algeria I have been in North Africa, and while all countries vary there are similarities.

Are you still around Atlanta?
For a small fee, a quick castration followed by a truck dragging can be arranged.

My advice, from a person who has been married to the "wrong person", is to listen to what these people above are saying. It's tantamount for your personal happiness and your future that if he is doing these things, that you record all evidence, report him to the proper officials and get out of the marriage and him out of your life as soon as humanly possible. Trust me on this one, the leaving is the hardest part. Once you get the divorce, everything in your life will begin to get better for you. Godspeed and best of luck with whatever you decide

Adding - make a copy of all you sent to USCIS and ICE and mail to the U.S. Embassy in Ghana - consular section. They could tie it to his record so if/when he petitions for the wife? and child they have fraud indicators listed.

Before he figures out that you know , print the phone bills and emails. Make more than one copy, send one to USCIS one to ICE keep one. Divorce him. If you don't he will file against you and he who files first has the most control over the outcome. Don't stay in a relationship with the idea of revenge. If he has play acted this long to get "his family" to the US play acting a little longer will not bother him and you will be setting yourself up for a fake fight, getting arrested and him filing VAWA on you. Do not forget to change passwords and remove/close all accounts he can access before he knows the jig is up or he will empty them first.

VisaJourney.com recommends that if any member or user knows directly of someone involved in fraudulent or illegal activity, that they report such activity directly to the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement. You can contact ICE via email at Immigration.Reply@dhs.gov or you can telephone ICE at 1-866-347-2423.

Save and print the phone records.
Print the emails
Give to USCIS with a fraud note

Do you intend to divorce him? If so then you should also make sure to contact uscis and explain the situation this way it will become very difficult for him to file for ROC. So sorry for this horrible situation.

no one could give you an answer because you left out the most important details about your husband's immigration status until 3 posts ago on this page. difficult for people to give advice without knowing specifics

i still say email (use the contact form) once a day, when they are open, till you get some response.
and, yes, Call DoS Hotline.

In all likelihood that would decrease the chances because they'd be afraid you'd use that tourist visa for immigration purposes, which is fraud.

Also, before this turns into a passive-aggressive pity fest, here's the deal.
One thing she can do - send proof to ICE. I highly doubt there is concrete proof of fraud, so the most she can send to ICE or USCIS, if she likes, is a letter with her statement.
After that, there will be no communication with her (as USC) from ICE/USCIS. Whatever her ex-husband decides to do - she will only know if he tells her.
This is really it, so I don't seen any point for any discussion any further. No one can provide any input beyond what people have already said.

Just to reiterate: this is an IMMIGRATION HELP FORUM (since you are very fond of capital letters), not a "how-do-I-get-back-at-my-ex-forum".
That's why any input on the question at hand (which is as vague as vague gets) will be useless and devoid of any real substance.

The reason people are asking WHY you care is because it helps give the correct answer. There is obviously something specific you want to know, outside of "will he be approved or not?" because that's simply not up to us. It appears you're dancing around exactly what you want to know.
USCIS takes everything into consideration. He could try claiming you were abusive and controlling and he had to "escape". He could claim that you didn't LET him get a joint bank account with you, or let him leave the house. That you wanted to control him. That it took his friends/family months to save up to help him escape, which is why he waited, and that he went back to earn more money to start his life here properly. Whether that would work ... don't know. But it's been tried before.
If your concern is the I-864, you will NEVER KNOW whether he is approved or not, unless he tell you. USCIS will not tell you anything.
If you simply want to know if he'll be successful or not, we don't know. We don't know what evidence he will submit, we don't know what story he will tell. There are people who have been approved with very little evidence. With very little evidence he will get an interview. They will ask him what happened. Whether he gets approved or not is up to the IO. If he's not he could try appealing... doesn't mean he leaves right away.
Like the others I agree that you should try and distance yourself BUT if you've been used though that's going to be hard to do. I'm sure you want to see him kicked out and punished but the anger will just eat you up. If you're concerned for your safety and that's one of the reasons why you're concerned, see an attorney (or the police or court house) about an Order of Protection (or whatever it's called in your state).
We all wish we could tell you more I'm sure, but unfortunately the only answer is "it's up to him what kind of evidence he presents and what story he goes with". Could he be denied? Yes. Could he be approved? Yes. You'll never know unless he tells you.

VJ is predominantly a self-help community ("How do I fill in this form? What documents are required for an X visa?").
Your title said you have an "urgent" question, but you are the US citizen and have already divorced someone you perceived to be scamming you for a green card, so why do you care anymore? Your interest in the situation is ended.
If you truly believe that you were scammed for a green card - and you have evidence supporting this - then send ICE a certified letter with his alien number and the proof that you were a victim of his deception.
What he does or doesn't do is on him, and stalking him over it will only bring you pain and suffering in the long run.

Honestly (and take offense if you want) but why do you really care about HIS status in US if you had already filed for divorce?
I'm not saying I support or encourage this type of visa fraud (and behavior in general), but it's HIS problem, not yours.
You say "ex-husband", so are you divorced yet? If you are - then that's it for you, you are done. If you are not - when the divorce is final, you are done then.

It would be rare for a male from your consulate not to go into AP and that tends to last for months. I do wonder about not keeping the passport as they usually do.

Do you really think you can do a better job on the video or promoting it than the ones being made for those poor lawbreaking illegal aliens that are whining the the US doesn't throw open the gates to them and their illegal activities ?

Sorry for jumping in, but this is actually wrong. It is not true that you must have known each other for at least two years. A lot of people on here file and get approved having known each other less than two years. The only requirement for the USCIS stage is that (no matter for how long you have known each other), you must have MET at least once within the last two years.
As for the OP, I think you will be fine since you have met within the two-year period. Good luck!

the receipt notice date , IMO, is what makes the difference when computing calendar duration.

You Brits can go either way.

Well said and I totally agree.
The poor guy feels awful for doing the right thing... why? Because you are making him feel that way.
Try to give him a break. He should NOT feel foolish in the slightest. Yes you are disappointed you have to wait... but seriously in the overall scheme of things this is just a bump in the road. Remember you love him and why you love him. Love doesn't blame.
