To me, this makes sense neither in English nor in Spanish. Color me confused.

The I-864 might not have any effect on his divorce, but whether or not his ex-wife has conditions lifted on her residency does have an effect on his I-864 obligations. I agree that he's probably going to be left in the dark about this unless he calls his wife, but I simply cannot understand why you are so hostile that someone somewhere out there might have just a bit of an inkling of a desire to know whether or not they are still contractually bound to a legally-binding document like the I-864.

The Freedom of Information Act only requires that government agencies provide you with documents that already exist. It does not require the government to manufacture documents to send you. So you could not send a FOIA saying "am I still on the hook with I-864" because the document saying yes or no does not exist. They would have to write it up just to respond to you.
You could send a FOIA request asking for the case file of your ex-wife in order to see if she has been tossed out of the country or not. That file already exists, and could be copied and mailed to you. However, Exemption (b)(6) allows the government to withhold documents the release of which would "constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy." You can bet your butt that if you filed a FOIA request asking for someone else's file, USCIS would invoke this exemption and refuse to release any documents to you. So the short answer is that I am pretty confident that the answer is no, you cannot get around this issue by using FOIA.

No they are not. Get over yourself.

Yeah, the whole thing is so laughable. North Korea can't even feed itself. I doubt they could manage to put together a vessel that was even sea-worthy enough to make the journey across the Pacific. Anyone who thinks that there is a chance that they could actually so dominate this country as to get us all speaking Korean has to have his head checked. Even if the US had no military at all, there's no way they could pull it off. Before they try to govern someone else's country, they should try figuring out how to govern their own.

I disgree because if they are going to keep us on the hook for a support affidavit, then we should at least kno wif she was approved or not. Just my opinion and how I feel. It will never change, right or wrong. I know exactly where my ex is but I don't care. I just don't like the fact that USCIS has a catch all that screws us, the petitioners when we are the victims of the fraud perpetrated against us by the ex-wife. I just don't like tha tpublic charge statement and the fact they could come after me for reimbursement of public benefits and they are the a##holes that gave the 10 years approval and removed the conditions.

Well, um... You seem to be a bit hostile about this. But at any rate, what does it matter to me whether they care or want to know what I think? Like I said, I didn't tell them anything...

I think filing the paperwork is the least of your problems. You're in a relationship with someone who doesn't seem to care for you. I mean if he did then the relationship wouldn't be a 'secret'. He would have done everything to support you instead of treating you like a prisoner. And sending you to jail? That's not right. I hope you can find the help you need.

Being Military does not make you a saint! I live in an area with one of the largest population of military in the country and let me tell you, no person, fighting for the country or not, is without fault. One of my best friends is a JAG officer, military people are in jail here for being child molesters, abusers, rapists, and more! Some of them officers! Spare us the guilt trip....
She is seeking advice, all we can do is take her at her word and steer her in the right direction.

Being a soldier and risking his life doesn't excuse abuse. Of course people are advising off her side of the story, what else would they do? That is the case for every single post here. Posters have to assume what is being said is true in order to give advice. I'm not sure where your hostility is coming from in calling her out as ridiculous and horrible based on ... the idea that she COULD be lying? We all could be, you included. But unless her spouse comes here to defend himself we will have to assume what she says is true. And it does read like a classic abusive relationship.

Because the husband is in the military he deserves more leeway? No sale. Take half of what's been told as the actual truth and the husband is not acting like a decent person.

There is something seriously wrong here, this is not a normal loving relationship where two people devote themselves to the other and cares for their needs. The motive for this can be little other than some sort of control/abuse. You cannot keep a marriage a "secret" and adjust status where you must demostrate you are living as married people live.
You definitely need some sort of professional help either from an attorney or from a spousal abuse organization.

There is something very, very wrong here. You need more help than simply filing papers. Your relationship sounds tragic and abusive and not healthy for you at all. Your husband should be helping you, supporting you, loving you. It doesn't sound like he's doing ANY of this.

BS. The United States has an absolutely tremendous level of education for women that, when weighted by population, blows the rest of the world out of the water. China has about 80,000,000 illiterate women. How many do you think the US has? 80% of women in the world are literate. 99% of American women are illiterate. Want something more than literacy? Throughout the world, only about 7% of the population have college degrees. In many countries, women are extraordinarily underrepresented in the population of college degree holders, as sending a person to college is something families can at best afford to do once, and men get the priority. And in the US 27% of American women have college degrees and women go to college at higher rates than men. It is just patently false to say that the US isn't educating women. In fact, from what I've seen on this webpage, that is precisely the problem that many American men have with American women: they are not uneducated and docile enough for their tastes. It's pretty repulsive, actually.

While it is not used as often in the United States as in the United Kingdom (probably because there is just less anti-Pakistani sentiment in the US), yeah, "paki" is definitely a racist slur.
