You can file proof of fraud with the approval of the annulment with USCIS and ICE, it will be on spouse's record and she will not be able to adjust her status.  

Really? I had the impression that the USC's side of the story is often disregarded. I will do that. Thanks!

I'm sorry for what you experienced.

Since your wife is making a WAVA claim, I recommend that you NEVER be alone with her, so no false allegations can be made against you.

If your annulment is being granted based on fraud and misrepresentation, she might face some scrutiny during her WAVA, but it's eventually her case and not yours so you won't be able to do anything. The whole point of WAVA is to protect the victim from their abuser, hence there is no room for the abuser to make a statement.

 

I recommend to see the silver lining in all this - you haven't filed anything for her and won't be on the hook with an Affidavit of Support. Focus on yourself, and move on. And as I mentioned - never be alone with her.

I appreciate your reply. I do not intend to have any further contact unless it is through the legal system to keep myself safe. I am glad that nothing was filed on my behalf because I was very close to doing so. There were numerous attempts to get me to intertwine myself with her for obvious reasons that would be of benefit to her, but I decided to be cautious. These individuals are ruthless and conniving. I've read stories of USC having a much harder time and suffer drastic changes to their lives. I implore anyone who intends to marry a foreign spouse to listen to your gut if something doesn't seem right. There a plenty that would make great partners and are not sociopaths, but there were signs that I ignored.

Hello. I am new to the forum but have been lurking here for years. My situation was 100% preventable but spouse was a great con artist. I do not want to post too many details as court proceeding are in progress but the main points are: spouse was out of status in the US, spouse got pregnant before marriage, urged me to marry her to have a family, we married quickly and privately due to the pregnancy, spouse had secretly scheduled an abortion without me knowing, then got an abortion within less than 24 hours of marriage and lied that there was a miscarriage. We argued, I refused to petition due to suspecting the scam, spouse claimed emotional abuse, then moved away (thank heavens). 

I filed for annulment based on fraud and misrepresentation. This happened over a period of 3 months. Spouse is filing i360 based on emotional abuse with statements from family members with fraudulent accusations and also talking to a counselor regularly to log the false claims, even telling them about the 'miscarriage'. Is this likely to be approved by immigration???
