The first thing to do is to sign up for English classes together.

Give the guy a break people Obviously his English is not great and he may have not explained himself properly.
Having said that....
....What you wrote did appear suspicious to me too. I hope it is not what it seems. As a previous poster said...you need to sit down with your wife and talk to her about where you go from here. Your future status in the US is surely a secondary concern considering that it appears your marriage is breaking down?

Following on from what others have written, one page to find groups with similar interest (and be the interest just a common country background) is http://www.meetup.com/
You can search by city and "subject"
Hope your wife will feel at home soon!

I have been here for 6 Months now and I volunteer full time. I work in my area of interest (Special education) and I also volunteer at the local public radio station. It is a GREAT way to meet people. I would highly recommended you suggest it to your wife.
She can absolutely volunteer...I sent an email to places that were interesting to me explaining that I cannot seek paid employment yet due to my visa restrictions but would love to volunteer my time in some capacity. Then you have proof if necessary that no payment was discussed (because this process has made me aware and over cautious of such matters).
As another poster also said...local classes or book groups are great too. I attend a weekly local yoga class and have received social invitations where my husband is the +1 which is nice
Can you encourage your wife to make a weekly or fortnightly Skype date with her family? When I first arrived, my husband also gave me a list of projects we needed to work on around to house and I had some objectives for my day Could you do something like this?
It is hard. It wasn't that hard for me...but there were definitely things I did not expect to be so difficult.
She has a car which is a huge deal! Make sure you know she has some money so she can go and do things and so she can have some financial independence. She may or may not be comfortable asking for money.
You could also find new things together...my husband is new to Vermont. We moved here after being in Scotland for 3 years. We are discovering this place together...can you incorporate that too? I think it would be hard to try and 'fit' into your spouses life instead of starting a new one together...if that makes sense. I don't kno if that is your situation.
Also...remember your wife has taken this huge step and she is obviously a strong and adventurous woman. Help and support her...but don't worry too much. It's a tough thing to do and she will be stronger after going through it.
Good luck, have fun!

This made me sad.
Why are you asking other people if you are cheap?
You obviously consider yourself to be cheap because you are buying a relationship with this woman.
What makes you think you aren't worth more than that?

They asked me to check the spelling of my name when they filled out my information at the Biometrics appointment so there will be a chance to change it

Sorry you are home sick. That must be really hard.
You are the same age as me and I can see a lot of your feelings are one's I've also had briefly.
My best best advice (feel free to say, no thanks!) Is suck it up. Have fun. If you really hate it, you and your husband can move, but until the time comes when you can do that, have fun! This can all be some crazy story you tell your kids about. We all want to live independently and have great jobs, especially at our age when you've spent all that time in school and perhaps even had a taste of a good job with good money! It will come...now is the time to live in one room and save as much as you can, I know you yearn for a different lifestyle but you will get there...at 27 we are in the 'building stage' of life. Please try to have fun and enjoy the adventure. I have no experience of the cultural issues you may be dealing with (I live in Vermont). If I were you I'd be getting any old job (retail or otherwise) and showing people that you are the type of woman who takes care of business. You can work your butt off to make ends meet and you'll have fun doing it...because YOU KNOW it's only temporary! You may be feeling oppressed and downtrodden by the role of women where you live...I hope you find a way to get out there and be a role model. You are obviously intelligent, educated and adventurous. I am also sure there are other intelligent women for you to talk to there...can you check out groups at the local library, online meet up sites, put up posters for a 'womens only' book group or something? I met a lot of nice people here in Vermont by turning up at local yoga classes and volunteering. I haven't made any real friends yet but I am having fun and my first invitation to a social event, that wasn't because I was a +1 with my husband, was from my 65 year old yoga teacher...I was very proud of that.
Hang in there...it is hard, you are right. Especially to go from being self sufficient to finding yourself in the role of 'housewife' with no friends. (I was there too) Don't lose yourself in your surroundings and your situation. This too shall pass.
