Aha.
And this is why I would not recommend this article to any hurting and confused person, be they hurting alien or hurting citizen.
It simply is not a good guide/reference material.

This is rather appalling. It is poorly written and filled with a lot of inaccuracies as well as down right discriminating statements. I certainly wouldn't hire this lawyer for any immigration work.

If you cant serve him, you can always publish. I think you should not worry about being vindictive. I think you should worry more about just getting divorced. You can always write a letter to USCIS saying that he did whatever he did.. bla bla bla. But the reality is that being vindictive usually doesnt work and its that behavior that may have contributed to how nasty he is being right now as well. Try being nice and saying we need to just get divorced.. If he doesnt, you can publish on grounds of abandonment and just let the marriage go. It sounds like you still love him enough to be pissed and you arent really thinking about extricating yourself as much as just hounding him. He doesnt want to be with you anymore.. and my guess is that he already knows he can remove conditions without you and has moved on with his life and really doesnt care about your threats. He probably has someone else in the other state he is in or whatever place he is in and isnt really caring what you do at this point. Thats why you just need to do what you have to do go on. At least you dont have kids with him trying to track him down for child support. My advice? Just move on and dont worry about kicking him out of the usa and all that jive

I`m even more confused reading this topic. Doesn't really have to do with immigration...
and the strategy: if the annulment will be contested, I'll just turn it in a divorce sounds like you don't really have a strong case for annulment (and you know it) and you actually want to ,,take your best shut at" your spouse. It sounds vindictive and if he is really smart and resourceful, can turn it against you in court. When you do anything in an attempt to hurt, distroy rather then separate, from your spouse can always get a boomerang effect (especially if you cannot sustain the allegations with HARD evidence).
In such disputes, if there are no considerable property to split .... the real winners are only the attorneys.
An uncontested divorce is the easyest and cheapest way to get out of a bad marriage.
If you "take away his future " here, he might want to "hunt you down" and seek revanche, while illegal here.... You win an enemy, one that will have nothing to loose ......hmmmmm.....

I know you didn't but from prior posts it appeared that you believed the marriage was bonafide and were emotionally involved with him, but that his psychological state was causing issues in the marriage. Why would you think it appropriate to annul the marriage? The unsound mind that is cause for annulment, I believe, relates to someone that agreed to marry without the capacity to carry it out.
Frankly, I can empathize with your dilemma over what to do in your marriage, but I see it is quite callous to pursue the annulment...and strip him of any chances of remaining in the USA. Although I tend to believe from your earlier posts that he wouldn't anyway.

ita with you
for the poster of that, mermaid is one of the best sources of advice regarding this situation. don't bite the hand that feeds you.

The best advice I can give is to go to a divorce lawyer who also deals with immigration issues. Tell them everything. Be completely honest and let them know things about you which others are not privy to but your wife will be sure to bring up. Get their advice on what to do after you have told them everything. Do not stay with an abusive spouse, get the divorce.
(personal opinion)
Most people would have left due to that abuse. Did you stay because you wanted citizenship or the marriage to work? It sounds like it was for citizenship because of what you endured. Also the way she held it over your head. I think that is why everyone is a little suspicious (not to mention your previous post). It sounds like now you are more worried about your citizenship and not the marriage. Fair to say?
You sound like an intelligent person but you are still worried. Like others, I have to conclude there is a bit more to the story which is the source for that worry. Go tell it to your lawyer, not the forum.
BTW, I am not swayed by the argument that you come from a "first world country" and you would have been better off economically there. What does that matter when it comes to visa fraud? The country you started out in has criminals of all sorts and to think there is no fraud for US citizenship is a little far-fetched. You obviously do not want to go back and to be honest the part about your age I don't believe either. Its OK to say you love it in America and don't want to go back because this is now your home not there, honest!

this IS an immigration form ..... and mermaid & stupid do not belong in the same sentence.. you should be more careful who you go slamming around here.. Mermaid is one of the smartest people aboard the good ship VJ
