wait..I thought he is a LPR now..conditional green card holder. "A conditional permanent resident receives a Green Card valid for two years. To remove the conditions on your permanent resident status, you must file a petition within the 90-day period before your conditional Green Card expires."

Hi guys. I really need some help please. I got married overseas a few years back, but it's only 2 months ago that my husband moved to the US after obtaining his IV through the US consulate. Yesterday, only two months after, he left his phone behind, and while he was at work, I checked his phone and found that he's active not only on 1 dating website but a few others! There was also a profile of a female offering s*x in some dating site that I am not familiar with and there was a 'mutual like' between his and her profile. I am feeling really down because this was my 2nd marriage and it took just two months and I feel like a total failure and felt really hurt. I spent around $15K on him while he lived overseas as he became broke after a certain period and I was forced to also pay for our trips at the times we met overseas. Is this a ground for an annulemnt? All I have are his dating profile photos and the few photos of half naked women in his phone, plus that s*x profile where they both likd each other. I heard annulment is tough to get, so should I just file for a divorce instead of an annulment to save myself the energy and the headach?
 
P.S. Since he just moved to the US, his green card hasn't even arrived yet. I chckd his case status and it shows the day when we paid for his card which as April 1st, the day he entered the US. I asked him to leave so he's no longer living in my house, but he sure is beginning me to take him back. He now claims that he's only there because I am on facebook lol and how does he know if I'm not talking to men on FB. Mind you that my Fb profile is closed and you can only see my profile photo there, the rest are not for the public and I also ahd our mutual photos on Fb, so I don't se where the logic is in what he claims since I put up our family photos while his own FB doesn't have one single photo of us. 
What can I do now because I rally don't want him to get his g.c....
 
1) Should I go to court tomorrow and immediately try to get annulment and servie it to him?
2) an I contact USCIS and tell them not to send his g.c. to my address and explain why?
3) Should I not do anything right now, wait for his g.c. to arrive and not give it to him but rather print the datign site evidence, write a statement, and send the g.c. with the evidence back to whichever USCIS?
4) Will his 2 month living with me hurt his g.c. in the long run even if he manages to get his g.c. if it arrives soon?
 
What would be the best and most effective option for me? Again, after so many thousands of dollars lost, my 35-38 years wait time gone for thinking that I finally got married again, I really don't think he should be getting that card because I invested to much money and time into this relationship and helped him out with everything, and all I get is him on dating sites within two month...it could be even after he entered the US, but since I only discovered him a few days ago two month into our reunion as husband and wife, I am saying two month. Please help!!! 

If your post were really about that, you could have let us know since when it is the case, if you know it (ostensibly you do). Otherwise you're basically just debating about what OP perceives to be "new" , ya know. It's probably "new" to them because it hasn't been that way when they last had to deal with immigration, obviously... So how about a date or a year, if you wanna spread the knowledge?

Hi Visajourneyers,
 
so we are about to file the AOS application for me. I'm from Germany and got married to my wife in New Mexico on August 17 on a K1 Visa. After the recent USCIS policy change the officers aren't really required to send RFEs anymore if the initial evidence is insufficient and can deny it right away, so we got a little paranoid. My question is: does anybody have experience with a "split" ceremony, meaning a civil, official one with only a few people while on K1 (to make our lives easier in terms of planning), then having a bigger celebration ceremony with all the relatives later? Is this common for other K1-Visa people? Do you think it will seem odd to the officer (like were only getting married for formal reasons)? What did you guys do? I'm asking because we are thinking about including a written explanation as to why we're doing it this way. Do you think it's necessary, particularly to make sure that the "initial" evidence is "sufficient"? I know this may sound like overthinking, but then this explanation could look weird either, like we really have a reason to explain ourselves like that. It took us a year to get the K1 visa and we were apart for 8 months for financial reasons, so at this point its really stressing us out. Any shared experience would be much appreciated.
 
Apart from that: Congratulations to everyone who has been through this! And love to anyone who's doing it right now.

As long as you have a valid, legal marriage certificate then you have nothing to worry about.

Our interview was in Chicago last month on August 9th. 
 
It's totally fine to have a small legal wedding and then a larger wedding celebration later on. As long as you submit a marriage certificate with the AOS petition, I wouldn't worry too much about including 'extra' proof. We sent 1 photo from our civil ceremony and that was it. 

Hi- you are definitely overthinking 🙂 it’s no problem to have a small civil wedding. We got married in our living room with about 5 people and the Justice Of the peace. It’s so hard to plan a “regular” wedding on a k1 that this was really our only option. As others have stated you just need to submit your marriage certificate as proof as marriage and remaining evidence- no need for an explanation.

During our AOS, the immigration officer did question why we didn't have a real wedding and why neither of us wore rings. My SO doesn't wear jewelry (he now has a ring that he's worn maybe five times) and it honestly wasn't important to me back then. We were finishing up school and didn't want to put money into something as unnecessary as a ring and it seemed more of a status-quo thing. We were honest when we questioned it. We didn't have a big showy proposal. Like most people in Denmark, we talked it through - being together was already a given.
 
At the interview, we were just honest. Either because of his curiosity or due to a hilarious language barrier, we got flagged for individual interviews. I swear I was about to pee myself. In the lobby. I was terrified. When my turn was up, I went into the room with the officer and he went through his list of questions - all super easy if you're a couple. Once the first question was asked, I immediately relaxed. We compared answers after and one had been wrong - the last place we went out to eat but..... we had just been coming off the weekend where we tend to go out more frequently. 
 
My advice - don't overthink it. Relax. Just be honest and the rest follows. Especially on a K-1 visa, it's not uncommon to separate wedding vs. legal ceremony. Worse case, you have an individual interview and it's a piece of cake. 

That is a very common thing for K1 couples to do. No need to worry about it having a negative impact on the AOS petition.
My husband and I had a small civil ceremony and then a few months later we had the larger wedding celebration. In our aos petition, we only sent photos from the civil ceremony (because the larger celebration had not happened yet). We brought both sets of photos to our interview. The officer did ask if we had a civil ceremony first and then a bigger celebration later. We just said 'yes' and then he moved on with no issues.
