Does the US citizen Spouse have to go to the interview? My spouse can't travel to the nearest interview site for medical reasons, so we have held off mailing our AoS paperwork.

Since you are coming from Canada I think it would be safe to say you have had a spiritual ceremony already with friends and family but you are not legally married. The interview is pretty basic and they just want proof that you are who you say you are, proof that you tell the truth, and proof that you love your spouse to be. They are not overly concerned about English speaking Canadians defrauding the system so you can get a better life in America stealing their social systems.

I strongly recommend a book called The Surrendered Wife, and The Surrendered Single.

Both books clearly describe how to act as a wife and single gal. It also clearly states that you should never be in a relationship with people that are abusers. So as much as you love your spouse you need to report the abuse to the authorities.

By reporting abuse, your are creating a paper trail much like the paper trail you had to claim for your spouse to get into the USA. You can also call Homeland security and get their advice. From what you explained there is the possibility in by getting a divorce, Homeland security could also charge you with fraud. The best thing to do is expose the spouse as a fraud with government paperwork, which from what you are saying sounds like that is what is going on.

When you call homeland security, do give them your name and case file if you have one, that your spouse is abusing(tell them how) you, threatening you (with financial support), threatening you with divorce. After you talk to homeland security, call the police and file a domestic abuse complaint unless homeland security tells you otherwise.

Respect yourself, protect yourself and don't be held liable for fraud for a person who doesn't love you back.

(Sorry I assumed your spouse was a male! I didn't realize none was stated.)
