Case dismissed, 20 months and 100K...but happy and free

Im sorry you went through this.  
 
The best I can suggest is checking out the reporting fraud thread- https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/439326-reporting-fraud-to-uscis/ 
 
As others have stated you did not mention anything that sounds like fraud- however if you have proof (which it seems you do) that she lied in a court for benefits; and you present this to FDNS she may have a very hard time doing ROC. ROC requires her to make the sworn statement she entered the marriage in good faith. When there is proof the person has lied before to police, courts, magistrates etc - they are assumed to not be able to make such good faith statements.
 

GD, I agree with you to about the great Islamic accomplishments in science, math, and to a point, tolerance.
Where we hit the bump in this road is the present.
The precursor to ISIS was the taliban, neither seem very interested in science, the arts, or tolerance.
New Salafist terror groups are morphing every day. What happened in the past is past, self-blame and doubt are non-productive.
Does anyone have any doubt that Salafists with WMD's would hesitate to use them ? The "balance for terror" doctrine breaks down...
I don't think the West fully appreciates the scope of the danger, nor what to do about it. Tragically, we eventually will...
The IS took just over a major airport in Libya with major tactical implications. Not to take decisive military action to take out those planes was, and is, an act of lunacy...IMHO

Yes, 'Seal Team 6' Gnomes, covert, heavily bearded, armed to the teeth and mission ready, are taking out the bad guys this very moment .....Gnome Pasarin !!!

Consider the President ordering the National Archives to do a 18 month search to find minority WWII, Korean war, Vietnam war veterans to upgrade them for the Medal Of Honor and get his puss plastered all over the news for his 'executive heroism'....cynically awarding MOH awards based on 'race'.
If anyone read my link to 199th LIB General Davis, I have no doubt the 'negro' General Davis would have thrown the current idiot CIC in the brig, and slapped him Patton hard for playing politics for things out of his sandbox....

On President Clinton watch: 1997 War on drugs, to War on Citizens, 2014
Meet Clinton's '1033 Program'
One of the ways police departments have armed themselves in recent years is through the Defense Department's excess property program, known as the 1033 Program. It "permits the Secretary of Defense to transfer, without charge, excess U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) personal property (supplies and equipment) to state and local law enforcement agencies (LEAs)," according to the National Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Center.
The 1033 program has transferred more than $4.3 billion in equipment since its inception in 1997. In 2013 alone it gave nearly half a billion dollars worth of military equipment to local law enforcement agencies, according to the program's website.

I spent some time researching the subject of police shootings in the US expecting to find a lot of data to digest...here's what I found. I will preface this by saying I have no axe to grind, nor do I want throw gasoline on a fire. So if your thinking of firing, make it friendly...
This article was a 'special team' investigation into police shootings in Las Vegas dated Nov. 2011
One more note: I also went to 'wilki' and found that in 1994 Congress passed a law mandating reporting this police shooting data to the US Attorney General.
To date, 1994-2014, this data has never been reported to the AG, nor has the AG's requested police compliance
I wonder how many lives to date would have been saved had the lawmakers and the law enforcers had obeyed the law ?
National data on shootings by police not collected By Alan Maimon© 2011, LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL
The nation's leading law enforcement agency collects vast amounts of information on crime nationwide, but missing from this clearinghouse are statistics on where, how often, and under what circumstances police use deadly force. In fact, no one anywhere comprehensively tracks the most significant act police can do in the line of duty: take a life.
"We don't have a mandate to do that," said William Carr, an FBI spokesman in Washington, D.C. "It would take a request from Congress for us to collect that data."
Congress, it seems, hasn't asked.
The FBI, which has the power to conduct civil rights investigations related to any questionable use of deadly force by any law enforcement agency, has produced at least one report analyzing shootings over several years by its own agents.
In addition, the agency tracks the total annual number of "justifiable homicides," acts it defines as "the killing of a felon by a law enforcement officer in the line of duty," but that only covers people shot while committing a serious crime and the data aren't broken down by agency. In 2010, that number was 387, down from 414 the year before.
While the agency collects, reports, and analyzes murders and assaults where police are the victim, Carr said budgetary concerns would likely preclude collecting such detailed data on shootings by police.
Everyone from the Justice Department to the International Association of Police Chiefs to local and state police agencies have guidelines or policies on use of deadly force. But seldom do they try to quantify and analyze trends.
Some, the Los Angeles and San Diego police departments among them, do analyze shootings involving their own officers.
The Metropolitan Police Department created a statistical breakdown of officer-involved shootings between 2003 and 2008, listing data such as the age, gender, and race of officers and of shooting subjects. Following controversial incidents, the department did a similar breakdown for 2010. But neither report offers any analysis or draws any conclusions from the numbers.
The American Civil Liberties Union said police aren't required to publicly report officer-involved shooting information to anyone, but recently a judge ordered the New York Police Department to release that information to the New York Civil Liberties Union.
The NYPD fought disclosure, arguing it would violate the privacy of the officers and reveal investigative techniques, said Molly Kaplan, an American Civil Liberties Union spokeswoman.

Investing is a good analogy. Here's an tip from an trader/investor put a 'stop loss' on the relationship. Meaning protect your gains, by putting a 'stop loss' on a stock, usually 10%. If the stock drops 10% an automatic 'sell order' is put in.
I chased saving a relationship for three years, I did everything I could do to save it. In the end, she called it, ironically, I was most angry at her for wasting three years of my life, by being coy about her real feelings or intent. We're still friends, but at a distance and I'm happy.
If your husband balks at taking you seriously, then a vacation for you will give you time and space to mull over your options.
Wishing you the Best

What he seems to be showing is his true colors and level of emotional maturity. What's is going to be like when you have children ? His priorities seem to be: Beer, friends, video games....lastly you.
Think this decision through carefully...and then do it.
There is no shame in making a mistake, but to keep repeating the same mistake...
Best of luck !

Just looked the word Tampo:
"The basic expectation of one who engages in tampo is that the offending party will woo or cajole him or her out of the feeling of being unhappy. The Tagalog word for this is amuin.[2] This wooing and cajoling is done in a loving and tender way, a gesture called lambing.
For the offending party, the typical Philippine way of dealing with tampo is to respond to the offended party with friendly overtures or expressions of concern, after a short "cooling-off" period. Not to do this may cause relations, especially romantic ones, to deteriorate. In most instances in which tampo is engaged in, healing the inner, emotional relationship between two people is usually more critical than resolving the issue itself"
Haven't got to the 'Tampo' chapter in my cultural studies...but I get the picture

Actually it's not a bad joke. You have to have thick skin and a sense of humor here. But well worth it. Hell, my fiancé is rowing to Hawaii, you think your a wreck ?

Well spoken

A lot of abused women don't seek justice for themselves, does this lessen the injury ?

I know for a fact Hillary was so our of control that the White House, Protective Services was paralyzed, as their was no protocol
Its ridiculous to think that the Prez would file 209A against his wife
Back to the present, One look at Hillary's new book cover with a photoshopped smile...is freaking hilarious
Where's my freeking visa ?
Nuff said I think....

I concur with the above assessment .....no 1040 for 2013...is a big problem.
I had no income because of my tax free status...my 2013 IRS document #1040 read $0, but it was submitted along with my public safety retirements documents and my VA award reflecting their nontaxable income status, yes I sent documents and a cover letter ...passed no problem in the Philippines. Get your 2013 taxes

My friend who's Vietnamese and lives in Boston had an arranged marriage to a girl from San Francisco. It appears she has a similar condition, she refuses to leave the house, clean the house, to learn english, take care of her baby etc. His life is a living hell and it has been ten years.
Think, if you bring children into this world, how would manage their safety and well being ? Maybe you need to sit down and talk to a professional, as it seems 50% hate and 50% love don't add up to 100%. I'm not being critical of you, but simply pointing out you seem stuck in a loop.

The Scottish Ist battalion,'Black Watch' regiment, WWI, fought to the death wearing skirts with pleats. The enemy called them "Die Damen aux der Holle" or "The Lady's from Hell". They derisively called their lowland trench mates 'Black Jocks'. Anyone here that's taken a bath in a trench with their 'kit' on would instantly see the hygienic advantage of skirts with pleats....
Having said that I support your right to piss yourself, fight to the death, sans pleats

My .02 cents.... He thinks his mommy and his wife are synonymous. When dealing with an adolescent 'acting out' you have to be firm and centered. Best of luck Annie

Hank, I just got off Skype with my fiancé who had her successful US Embassy Manila Visa interview today. She told me that she was asked twice about her engagement ring, once on the Phil side of paperwork processing and the second time during the American CO interview. Both were very friendly and when she asked if they wanted to see the jewelers receipt, he smiled and said no.... 'Your Approved'
I'm not sure if it means anything, but I suspect given her observations that wearing an engagement ring is an effective 'ice breaker' for both parties during the interviews. But as you mentioned not a deal breaker

Announcing your strategy to your opponent before the battle is joined was a mistake, but water over the bridge. I'm fairly familiar with the legal process of divorce, IMHO, the clear and present danger is you are living in the same house together in an atmosphere that is poison. As others have pointed out, the greatest danger is her obtaining a 209A restraining order and having you thrown out of your own house. In most states these orders are issued 'ex-parte', without the knowledge of the other.
Since she is not talking to you, you can be sure she's getting 'victim' pointers from her new friends and possibly family.
What would I do ? Hire a competent attorney. A 209A can work both ways, you mentioned you were in your 60's. If you're legally considered a senior citizen, abusive behavior can swing in your favor, especially with the timing and age difference. What ever you do, do not leave the marital home. Do not feed into her anger. If she is pushing you into a confrontation, verbal or otherwise, go to a safe room in the house where you can lock the door. Let her pound on the door all night. Your ace in the hole is recording video of the abusive behavior, observed or spoken. Every time that video camera is pointed her direction it will send a large cease and desist message. If you possess any firearms, get rid of them, transfer them to a friend. Be pro-active not reactive...
Good Luck,
