    Elle29 reacted to JonInCA in An unhappy ending to a marriage   
    The part that was somehow left out of the OP is the ages of the husband and wife. In a lot of cultures such a marriage would never have gotten started. The wife may love the husband, but with that age gap, everyone knows that in the long run the wife will end up spending more time with her family than her husband. She is only young once, and that is is her one shot to help her family. If she has to spend time taking care of an older man with limited financial resources, then she won't have that time to earn money to send back. No doubt this is a painful event for the OP and also his wife, but blaming this on Filipina culture is not helpful to anyone.

    My advice if you meet woman from a third world country and plan to marry her.
    - Do not support her financially during your relationship.  If you are, then you are giving him or her the wrong perception.
    - Be honest with yourself.  If your age gap is 20+ and you don’t look like Brad Pitt then you should ask yourself why?  Then you decide if you still want to take the risk of being used.  If you do then you can only blame yourself.
    - Don’t flaunt your money or spoil her with gifts.  Only spend money on gifts if its her birthday or anniversaries.  
     
    Now if she still wants to be with you after this then you got yourself a good girl.

    OP comes here with the sad story of the impending end of his marriage but carefully omits important facts of his relationship. He then goes on and misleads readers to the reason of the breakdown of marriage and blames it on an entire gender and race.
     
    Denigrate the "Filipina Culture", but by all means, I'm the one bullying OP. 
     
    It's hard to have sympathy for this guy.

    As a filipina, if your soon to be ex-wife is from a "not-so-well-off" family then she will most definitely be treated as an unlimited bank account to withdraw from. For some reason, there is a mentality here that once you are able to go abroad you poop money. Please don't generalize though, I am 100% confident that my immediate family will not do that to me. As for my other relatives, they can think whatever they want lol 🤭
     
    I really hope you can make amends with your wife... but it seems that her family is too toxic for this relationship to go on. Also if she truly wants to be with you, she will stay and show some backbone. Filipinas are rather strong people who will go through any means to get what they truly want. I think her family is trying to manipulate (they are definitely manipulators) the situation telling her something along the lines of "You should attempt to scare him with a divorce, if he truly loves you he will buy that mango farm... what is $60,000?" 
     
    Its not exactly a put down but it kinda sounded like you are generalizing that Filipina = simple. 😄

    If you get married you can't apply for the K1 at all. Forget about the K1 if you are getting married in a month. 
     
    And what you are basically suggesting is lying to cover the fact you are married. For one, it is fraud and illegal and your case (even if you have your green card already) would be under investigation. You can literally have your green card revoked. For two, it is morally not right. Do you see the issues involved with immigration already? Don't add to the problems. And for three, it is against this site's rules to discuss fraudulent activity like lying to immigration.
     
    So best to get that thought out of your head now.

    What country are we talking about? There are some consulates where even attempting to rectify this is not gonna work. So if you tell us the country, we can tailor our responses @Jmsamonte
     
    My summary. OP is not telling us the truth. Additionally, I suspect, from language, that it is the immigrant who is posting in an attempt to find answers to their lies.
    OP, the chickens have come home to roost.

    -Protect yourself physically and financially through a good divorce attorney.
    -Let him handle his own immigration affairs.
    -Seek happiness for yourself, and move on.
    Remember, he could not have immigrated without a LOT of evidence which YOU, yourself,  provided.   Be aware that the I-864 you signed will remain in effect even after a divorce.  It is in your best interest if he becomes a US citizen as soon as possible.

    Elle29 reacted to carmel34 in My I-130 and I-485 was withdrawn because of divorce papers was not genuine   
    Looks like this could be another example of many who put "married" on a sworn application to get a US non-immigrant visa, then entered on that visa and married a USC, filed for AOS, and got caught because the divorce decree from the so-called marriage was fake to try and hide the lie, so he filed for divorce from the first "wife" in the US and is now hoping that an annulment from the second wife and remarriage will fix the problem.  If he did lie on the original visa application and checked "married" when he was not, it could be a case of misrepresentation that will cause lots more problems when the new AOS package is filed.  Just something to be aware of as a very good, experienced immigration attorney may be needed, if a waiver is made available by the adjudicating officer which is at their discretion and not guaranteed.  Good luck!

    Will not happen. And I doubt if he is gonna reply to you because your text is not what he wants to know.
    Don't you see he is selectively choosing what to answer? Regardless, I already knew what country we are dealing with based off the language in his first text. I just wanted to give him benefit of doubt.
     
    I've punched a hole at the bottom of this glass. However, I'd like you to fill it with milk.. this is what is happening in this thread. We will be posing credible questions, but OP will be selectively on his reply.
    I will keep off this one.

    Elle29 reacted to Adventine in Stranded outside my own country, will I be able to enter America under extreme circumstances if I have a b1/b2 Visa?   
    It was possible to return to the Philippines last year. Even with all the lockdowns, there were still flights. Filipinos made it home before their US visas expired, even if it was more expensive and inconvenient.
     
    Things have changed in the past few days. From March 20-April 19, 2020, certain types of Filipino citizens will NOT be allowed entry to the PH. Ongoing discussion here: 
     
     
     
    OP, sorry you're in this position. While it's true that, starting Mar. 20, 2021, certain classes of Filipinos cannot enter the PH, it was not true in 2020. Nobody can say for sure if CBP will let you in to the US again, but it doesn't look good.

    Elle29 reacted to Mike E in Sign Petition to stop Calling Foreigners as Aliens in USA   
    I loved that my first green card said I was a resident alien.  
     
    I’d show it to my kids and their friends and regale them with tails of my upbringing from another planet. I told them I was part of forward invasion force.  Their friends would return home to have nightmares.   
     
    Seriously though, the term alien is from Latin like much of English (and thus, ironically it was probably due to an alien invasion of England in 1066 that the term made it into the lexicon). 
     
    I will not be signing this petition.  It is just. a word. Get over it.  There are bigger problems like the backlog of immigration petitions that have a current priority date or that aliens have a hassle getting an SSN. 
     
    Proud to have been a legal resident alien.

    It's very strange that you are getting married to a "close friend/housemate."  Usually, people would refer to marrying a girlfriend or fiancee.  This is a glaring red flag.

    Since you brought up the subject of marriage fraud, . . . .  why?
     
    Entering the US with the intent to adjust status is visa fraud.

    Elle29 reacted to JFH in What to do if we think a foreign wife might be in domestic trouble?   
    If there is a genuine case of domestic abuse here, then there are resources available to her. As has been stated above, the non-emergency line for the police is a good place to start. 
     
    Does she not have any friends closer to Michigan than you? 
     
    Have to say, at the moment all you have is hearsay that this is happening. And some of the things you have mentioned are not really abusive by the way you describe. He wants her to take care of his kids whilst he works? What exactly did she expect would happen when she agreed to become the stepmother to these children whose father works outside the home? Such things as childcare arrangements and whether she would work or be a SAHM are usually discussed before a couple gets married and one of them moves halfway round the world to be with the other. Likewise not letting her send money home - he’s the breadwinner and he has children to feed and clothe. If she’s not working what makes her think her family in the Philippines is his financial responsibility? Where is the money supposed to come from? It sounds like the communication between them is poor and they need to be clear with each other what they expect, want and need from the relationship. You talked about a woman who went missing, probably feared dead. I think this case is a long way from that.  

    And he said he “only brought her from the Philippines to take care of his children”. Well she wanted to come, no one forced her. And that sounds like something that was said in the heat of the moment and was probably instantly regretted. We have all said stupid things in domestic arguments that we later regret.
