An I-864 is in force until the new immigrant:
1.  Becomes a US citizen, or
2.  Gains 40 quarters of work credit, or
3.  Loses status as a legal resident and departs the US, or
4.  Dies
 
 

This is excellent.  Call the Port of Entry, ask for the shift supervisor (get his/her name), politely explain, and end the call by politely asking if you can be informed of anything that happens, because you're afraid.

Another thing you can do is call CBP let them know his name other information. There was a member here who reported calling the POE and he/she was flagged by CPB and that person stopped from entering the US. 

No need to talk to anyone, do everything in writing.  Best way to do  is:
1. Write a withdrawal letter detailing all info like name, DOB, case number and such. Sign the letter and scan it to pdf.
2.  Send an email to NVC again. Put the case number on the subject line followed by withdrawal. Attach the withdrawal pdf and write some details on the body of the email.
3. Send an email to the US embassy. Do same as 2.
 
Nothing happens in a few days or weeks. If the interview hasn't been scheduled or completed, they will see your withdrawal letter when they process the case and it will be resolved (either interview won't be scheduled or if already scheduled, visa won't be issued)

I am sorry for what you been through, pls don't be hard on yourself because you believed him, be strong and do what is recommended . It is a hard lesson so you be carful in the future , not all people are nice and God fearing. Good luck.

when u send a letter to report him,  attach a photo of him so they can ID him later
he uses fake documents now
he could reinvent himself and use a new name so send to the above address VJ members provided with photos

You can also send a letter to NVC to withdraw the I-864 and as mentioned by other members, communicate with the US embassy in Ethiopia ASAP.

I agree.   The exchange of money for an immigration benefit brings an entirely different criminal element to the fraud.

Email and try calling embassy. Tell them what you discovered and make sure you are clear that you are pulling support and want to stop the visa process due to fraud. 
 
You really should send in all information to the fraud department state side for the women involved. They may already have something on her and can use any additional information you have. If they don't have anything it would be a good time to put her on their radar. 

Email AddisIV@state.gov with all the details. Put the case number in the subject line and add petition withdrawal request due to fraud
 
Then detail the beneficiary details (DOB, POB), what you discovered and that you wish to withdraw the I-130 and I-864. 
 
provide your contact info in case they want to contact you outside email. 
 
re: another woman in on the fraud - up to you if you want to raise it with the embassy in Addis or with USCIS. 

Take the evidence and report the fraud. https://www.uscis.gov/scams-fraud-and-misconduct/report-fraud
 
Pull your I-864 and write a letter to your Service Center to withdraw your I-130 

Unfortunately, I don't think you can get your money back. 
However, since he hasn't got an interview, you should gather all evidence and email to his embassy ASAP and tell them you don't want to proceed with the case because of what you've discovered. 
 
Good luck. 
 

I have a problem. Earlier tonight I found out that I am being scammed. I filed a I-130 to bring a man that I thought that I had married. Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Found out that any document that he used that he gave for me to upload.. were all faked. I also know that a friend he knows in Atlanta, GA did this for somebody else to come over here. She is a sponsor for one from her same city. Calls him her brother. She got $5,000 payment. She won't talk to me anymore because I found out everything tonight. The man that calls himself my husband.. told be a lot over WhatsApp. Two other people are involved as well. I just want my petition withdrawn and see if he can be barred. I only have copies of the documents used. I made the copies on my computer. I don't have any of the originals. He told me to send all of them back to him. I have no clue on what to do. I had many different people warn me about men from Africa and green card scams. I should have listened. 5 year relationship , all my money gone for sweet words.. up until about two months ago. Tonight was the end of it. He's waiting for an interview. Somebody please help me I still can get bank records of money sent to me for him to come over. I should have known was all lies. I was used.

lol.....    would you rather have the truth in terms of potential length of AP, or people who will placate with false reassurances?   Because VJ is full of those, too.

That's quite a long time for Jordan, my husband and I were in AP for 7 weeks through Amman and I've only heard of a few other couples who were in AP longer than we were and I've been on this site since 2012. Did you have any RFE's and if so, what were they for?

Get in touch with the immigration liaison at one of your U.S. Senator's office and ask them to inquire on your behalf. They cannot speed up AP but inquiring just might get the consulate to look at your case. While we were in AP I emailed the consulate in Amman every two weeks and they always responded to my inquiries(the liaison recommended that we email). The email is listed on the consulate's website.

Also, what type of visa? And I do NOT recommend a writ of mandamus, it may not work in your favor.
 

Hey guys....our IOE petition was approved by USCIS on 4/1/19 and I'm very happy to report that its finally been received by the NVC......7 months later. 
 
If you're waiting in limbo like we were, don't lose hope.  Just keep escalating and work the process like others have posted here.  Good luck to you all.

I hope everyone get their notice from NVC & get their Case # too. We got our case # 8 weeks after they received our case. Now we just uploaded our docs after they're offline for more than 1 week. God bless everyone🙏
