Harboring -- Subsection 1324(a)(1)(A)(iii) makes it an offense for any person who -- knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to, entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law, conceals harbors, or shields from detection, or attempts to conceal, harbor, or shield from detection, such alien in any place, including any building or any means of transportation.
If convicted in Court, he could face 10 years in prison and $250,000 fine

It is very serious, passport and green card taken means the USCIS employee will probably give them to ICE or any immigration authority for to cancel not only the Citizenship application but also his green card and to deport him, as well his wife. The OP needs a lawyer, there will be probably criminal charges and Court for him because he is / was harboring an illegal alien. The government also could get his house, cars and his accounts. Sorry

I did NOT have a legal representation but I got an Annulment learning and researching, writing the legal publication mysel
Rubbish to advice people to do the best LEGAL way?
 Please, read about the Fraud Marriage being a Federal Crime and how many complications can give it to an innocent USC if we don't protect ourselves with the paperwork which confirms the USC didn't know about Fraud. I see wikihow explanation very reasonable and easy to understand and I don't see why, we US Citizens should just shut up and cover up the Marriage Fraud Federal Crimes when in the official ICE publication says precisely, this kind of crime is usually related to other even more serious crimes.
Please, read,

This is what I mean by preparation.  Whether you did it in advance or reactively, you did it.  

I agree a written confession makes all the difference.

Why not both going to live in South America? There are countries with easy law in your situation. 3rd world countries, yes but in the worse case you teach English or do some business

WOW! This is so expensive. Nigeria is expensive, I didn't believe my fiance how expensive is it until I visited there. And 2 weeks waiting for the results, they do it longer, more expensive and more difficult. I hope with all these conditions the US embassy in Nigeria understands we all are very serious about our fiance(e) and marriage plans

My mom said the same. Because he had this idea he would come here and be rich. He complained about working a job making $15 an hour. Said that wasn't good money. I said for an immigrant with limited English skills that's a lot.  

No he wanted to but my family was against it so I told him we would discuss that later on down the line. Thank goodness I didn't go through with it. 

I didn't see that clause about unsound mind when I read over CA annulment process. He is making me have an unsound mind. I am trying to keep it together because I did everything for this man and know I don't deserve this treatment. 

Don't forget that if any mail comes to your house for him, that you should just return it to sender, including his greencard.  You don't want to be accused of withholding it from him.

Yes CR1. No he doesn't have it in hand. I just received a notice in the mail about it 2 days ago. I didn't tell him though. 
 
When he was lying saying he wanted to reconcile he asked me to either go with him to immigration or write a letter stating there was no fraud just a misunderstanding. I said I would write the letter only after he returned. He said well in that case you don't trust me so I can never return. I said I see what you're doing you just want me to write the letter to ensure your status isn't in jeopardy. It's all about the green card. 

You know I just looked at your timeline and previous thread. Just for clarification- he entered on a CR visa. So as stated in your other thread he became an LPR upon entry. He just needs to pay the fee and get his conditional GC. Theres nothing you can do about that. He doesnt need "VAWA" he needs to remove conditions on his card. If you guys dont reconcile in the next 2 years he can file it with the divorce decree or under extreme cruelty (a form of VAWA). Just wanted to be clear he doesnt need VAWA (360) but rather the 751 with cruelty waiver.
 
He may not know this. So he may be under the impression he needs to apply for a GC, he may know he just needs to remove conditions. Who knows...But the advice still stands about not being alone with him. The same concept of being accused of domestic violence falsely still applies whether he needs it for the VAWA 360 or the 751 waiver.
 
Theres only one thing you can do that will impact his ability to stay in the US. Or rather 2... One is filing and getting an annulment based on FRAUD. It must be based on fraud. That will prevent him from being able to ROC however he can probably remain in the US on his conditional GC for the full 2 years. Its just when it comes time to ROC and he shows them the annulment based in fraud that he will be denied and have to leave. If you do get an annulement based in fraud you can send it to USCIS but I dont know if they will take action on it and order him removed or wait until he applies for ROC.
 
The second thing you can do is file for divorce. It is preferable if you can divorce based on grounds that will work against him like fraud or abandonment. You also need to make sure you hold firm to the dates as they happened. The shorter the period of marriage before separation the harder it is to ROC. You were only together a short time. Apx 2 weeks. Hold firm to having those dates be in the divorce decree. It would be worth it for you to fight it out and insist on a finding of fault (his) in the divorce however if you dont have the strength for that then a mutual 'irreconcilable differences' wont have the same immigration impact but would still be an uphill battle for him. 
 
Annulments are possible even as a DIY however they are hard to obtain. Speak with a local attny to see what options you have and their opinion on its success. Again the thing I would be most worried about is his lack of knowledge about the process and being misinformed or informed of fraudulent paths he may attempt a DV charge against you to help his case. Stop all contact with him for your own sake. Seek legal aid if you can not afford an attny. Get free consults and file on your own if you cant find any pro bono assistance. The county clerk can provide you with all the forms you need and answer questions about the process. Sorry this has happened to you but be strong and take care of yourself. 
 
As for the medical bills, yes you are technically responsible via the 864 but just so you know its rarely enforced. The gov has found it costs more to collect from sponsors then they actually collect so no one attempts to collect on it. There is also the risk he can sue you for support under the 864. Theres a thread in this subforum on that that you can read through. He would have to be very educated to do such and Im not sure he is. An annulement based on fraud is your best bet to ensure he has to leave the country but a quick filing of divorce with it being his fault can also ensure he can not remain. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask.
 
Happy Holidays. 

It's really unfair how the laws are for the immigrant. All they have to do is lie and claim abuse and get to keep their status. However, the US citizen really doesn't have any recourse. Thank you so much for your assistance. I am going to start putting all this together. Last night I was feeling helpless and that I just had to let him stay here and get away with this. But your advice has inspired me. Thank you. 

It's possible but you need to write well the letter and attach all evidence.
Write something like ...
I believe it is a possible Fraud because:
1. very short stay in US, 3 weeks and getting away for no reason
2. .......
3. ......
4. ........
Please, see the evidence attached
1. ....
2. .....
3. .......
 
This way is much more easy to read and see for authorities

just think well and write, get chats and see what can help you.
It's your life for years to come, try to clean this mess up and help the Immigration to fight this kind of Fraud

It's good, it's soon, usually they give much later. Try to chat and get more evidence, in the letter write how long were you married and how long real time in marriage as well how long he had in US just snapping and get away. All in separated lines easy to read and see how short is really this marriage and how fake is it from his side

What about service by publication?  I'm not an expert, but I think there is a way to serve divorce papers when you can't locate your spouse.

Not only the person, if you don't know well the third world country, don't invest anything at least for 1 year living there and watching how things work. You will be amazed how fast all your capital will be gone and no law working for to get at least some back

OP mentioned this is in California, a Sanctuary State.
 
Millions use fake SSN's. Can not see one being that high up ICE's priority list, now if there are a few hundred working for this employer maybe.

It tells me that her husband was not loyal to her and she was left, hurt and alone, and after FIVE YEARS of being so, she decided to try to move on with her life. Her profile said "separated" but I was blinded by the photo... which was accurate and honest. I found out about it probably after a month... about the same time she found out about me and my past. We were both very honest and truthful as soon as we suspected we might be something more special.
 
However, let me say this: I am not here to listen to judgment on our relationship as so many seem ready to give. This has already been decided and the validity and sincerity of our relationship is not the topic here... it's how to find a way to one another. I'm not saying this is what you're doing, just that many others are.
 
Thanks for writing.

Being very familiar with the culture in Indo and having spent long periods of times there I can tell you this is how it always is, married or online profile up  on okcupid and multiple foreign providers sending money or grooming them to do it in the future. I wont say more because its none of my business and wont make a difference when you are so blinded by there sweet words and characters they really can put a great show on. But this story does sound shady AF. I only went there for surfing but in the bars you hear all the same tales every day from older american or australian men who went over there and women completely serenading them and always end up screwing them over when they have nothing left. 

when did you find out she is still legally married? What does it tell you about the married woman being on a dating website looking for men? what her dating profile was saying? Single, Married, Divorced?
