    I don’t see any fraud? Marriages fall apart. People change their minds and move on. I have been through a divorce. I never got married with the intention of getting divorced (I can’t imagine anyone does) but it didn’t work out. Hey ho. 
     
    Unfortunately you have not helped yourself by claiming the green card is your property (it’s not, no matter what you think) and telling her to leave (you can’t make her leave, no matter what you think). You can’t make her surrender her green card. I’m not surprised such comments were met with the treats of a restraining order. You sound very controlling. Just let her go. She doesn’t want to be married to you anymore. No point wasting any more energy on it. Divorce, protect your assets, move on.

    At least several JV members are known to be attorneys...some in immigration, some in family law, etc. But yes, nothing in the forums is to be construed as legal advice or to create a client/attorney relationship, per the TOS.
    The lack of being a lawyer does not decrease the value of the suggestions presented.

    Agree 100%.  Right now, he is eyeballs deep in this sticky situation, and he is beyond the point of no return regarding her status as a perm resident.  The best he can hope for, imho, is a smooth divorce and a fast route to her citizenship......

    Can I add that it's illegal to withhold her Green Card as it's not yours (technically the property of the governments, but like passports), she could get OP in trouble by calling the police. Besides, she can just get it re-issued once she's reported it stolen, which it would be.
     
    I understand OP might be hurt, but if she obtained the IR1 on the grounds of a bonafide marriage, then there is no fraud here. Report all you want, doesn't mean anythings going to happen. Plus the USA is huge, what's the likelihood you will run into each other.
     
    Divorce her like above before she can get you for any further monies.

    No, that, alone, does not constitute fraud. Since you didn't withdraw the I-130, the relationship remained intact as far as USCIS is concerned.  As the petitioner, you allowed the process to continue.  Now, she is a legal resident of the US.
    1.  Find a good divorce attorney to protect yourself legally.
    2.  Let her status in the US go.  
    3.  Seek happiness for yourself.
     
    It would benefit you for her to become a US citizen as soon as possible since the I-864 (Affidavit of Support) is enforceable for many years.

    1.You cant talk to immigration with both sides of your mouth...you provided sufficient evidence to convince two different government bodies that your marriage is legit and you can take care of her in other for them to issue her a visa.
     
    2. At the Minimum to even get their attention you must provide huge evidence that she committed fraud and you didnt know about it (not just you had a bad marriage)
    Secondly, the moment she stepped into the US she became a legal resident and going by your more than 2 years marriage she will get a 10 years GC ....which means she does not even need the marriage to become a US citizen just like you.
     
    Additionally if she is investigated for immigration fraud, any other application you submit including I-130 or I-129f will be closely scrutinized.
     
    3. She must have confirmed her address at POE ....since you guys were not in good terms and she didnt go directly to your house...means she didnt use your address at POE.
    You are on the hook for I-864 until she becomes a citizen.
     
    4. My advise to you is leave her alone, count your loses....find a divorce lawyer and divorce her before she legally ask for Alimony or Split your 401k etc.
    5. Try as much as possible not to have a messy divorce!!!

    The opportunity to stop her was by withdrawing the petition or I-864 before she got the visa. Until then, you provided all sorts of evidence to convince them that it was not fraud.
    Her using the visa without your support does raise questions, but does not constitute fraud itself.
     
    If you have evidence of fraud, report it. The timing alone is not enough for them to take action.
    Since she entered after 2 years of marriage, she'll get a 10 year green card. The next opportunity USCIS will have to look at the case (w/o an investigation) is when she files for naturalization, renews the card, or petitions somebody else for a green card.
     
    The reality is you need to ask her if you want to know. It's her GC, not yours.
     
    An annulment in general does not anything immigration-wise that a divorce doesn't do. It does not retroactively remove the marriage relationship for immigration purposes.
    An annulment based upon marriage fraud would have a presumption of fraud if USCIS were to review it. But it does not cancel her GC. It would be a long and quite expensive process, and would probably just delay things.

    That's not how that works.  She obtained a GC based on a bonafide marriage to a US citizen.  You don't get to turn around and cry fraud because the marriage failed. Those are two separate issues.

    One more thing, Do not be afraid to become a public charge. You will be protected by VAWA if file I-751 based on divorce due to an abuse. You will be exempt from I-864 and I-944.

    OP, sorry to hear what happened. It is up to you what to do next but if I were you, I would do the following:
    - get a restraining order against your abuser ASAP
    - if he's still in jail I would NOT let him return home. You can do it if receive a call from police/judge answering "No" to the question, "Is he welcome back home?"
    - call Domestic Violence Hotline and ask them for resources to victims of DV in your area
    - locate local WIC or other social services agencies providing help for women with small children
    - apply for food stamps with DES (many states allow green card holders to apply, some even for state medical insurance)
    - file for divorce as soon as possible
    - look up special housing programs for women with kids and apply for a subsidized apartment
    You must be at a juncture where you may feel overwhelmed and lost. Do not worry, help is out there. You just need to know how to look for it.
    Whatever you decide to do, PLEASE PLEASE do not allow yourself to forgive him and get back together! He is dangerous, and you may end up dead.

    You're seeking vengeance, not justice. You want your ex punished by not only USCIS but other government agencies like social services (for benefits crimes) and even the DA (I don't know for what crime).
     
    I truly sympathize, despite my tongue in cheek comments. This is a treacherous road and leads to mental anguish as someone has already advised. Submit what you have to the USCIS and be done with it.
     
    If she gets de-naturalized (low chance), you will still have to deal with your own feelings about what happened.
     
    Really wish you well. Take care.

    Are you a US citizen? Is your Mom now in the US? If not, it's fraud to have a pre-determined intent to AOS her.
    If you are a US citizen, you can apply for immigrant visa for your Mom to bring her to the US permanently.

    portorusa reacted to Unlockable in Applying for GC for siblings   
    You have received great answers from some of our valued members of the board. But I want to give you some more insight. Particularly areas of concern that you should focus on so it won't be an issue later.
     
    Income - Being a SAHM (stay at home mother) means that your income may not be enough to sponsor everyone. So you and your cosponsor will need enough to cover your household (you, your spouse, and all your children) plus everyone you wish to petition. That means if you are married with 2 children and you want to petition for your parents and 3 siblings plus their families. That can means you minimum wage must cover about 11 people.
    You, your spouse, 2 kids = 4 Your parents = 2 Your siblings = 3 Your sibling's spouse = 2 (you said 1 is not married). 4 + 2 + 3 + 2 = 11       *And I didn't even include the children of your siblings. Which brings up the next area of concern ...
     
    Sibling's kids - Depending on their ages, the children of your siblings may not be able to immigrate with your siblings if they have aged out. So be sure to keep that in mind when doing the calculations of how long it will take. For example, if one of your siblings have a now 16 y/o son and you file for them, in 15 years that son will be 31 y/o. He will be considered an adult and possibly can't come with your sibling.
     
    Time - The average time for siblings is said to be 12 - 15 years. But some countries like India, China, and the Philippines, take more than 20 years. Either way, it will be a drastically long time before the entire family immigrates. A lot can happen in that time. For example, say in 12 years your nephew that is 20 y/o, falls in love with a woman and has a child. That is another issue that must be considered. Because the his child and his child's mother can't be added to the petition. Would he still want to come and leave his family behind? Just an example.
     
    As stated, even if your parents apply for them it will stay take a long time (7 - 10 years). The married sibling will take longer. There is no faster way. That is because most countries don't even allow people to apply for siblings or adult children. The US is one of the few countries that do this, so the waiting line is extremely long.
     
    Healthcare - You may have to do some research in the cost of healthcare for your parents. US Immigration is really cracking down on the public charge rule. If your parents are elderly and require medical treatment, the consular may take that into consideration.
     
    Changes in immigration - Covid19 has already affected immigration. But even after this pandemic is over, there is a high chance that changes in immigration may happen. Who knows what will happen. there may be some categories that may be eliminated. The US government has been talking for years to get rid of the sibling category, for example.
