Problem My K1 visa applicant is here I suspect fraud

[robertlaird 2]

I am embarressd to post time but my fiancee is here from Bogota and think here under false pretenses. I suspected something was up so I installed a software on my computer to track email and messenger. She is professing her love to someone and making plans to flee in the country. If I book here a return flight to Bogota do I need to escort her home. The flight has a connection in Houston. If her plan is to flee she could run at the airport or never make the connection in Houston is flying by herself. I can not belive this is happening but what is my responsibilty to make sure she leaves the country? Wow a almost a year to get a visa, and one week to find out it is all bogus.

Thanks for your help/advice

I'm very sorry to hear this. Have you married yet?

If you are not married yet, if you dont marey within the alloted time then she will have to return home., i think but someone else here may be more knowledgable.

Well, as bizarre as it might sound, don't jump to conclusions--confront her about it first.

If you know that something is up (and, I mean, it does seem pretty clear-cut, but you never know), you can try to inform ICE and/or put her on a plane home. But if she doesn't return to Colombia, if her intent is not to marry you, she cannot adjust to LPR status without marrying you, the original petitioner, within 90 days, anyway.

I'm sorry this had to happen--what a horrible feeling.

I'm very sorry to hear that this has happened to you. It seems like you were her "ticket" to the U.S. Hopefully, you will be able to get passed all this and get on with your life.

If you do not marry her within the 90 days of her entry, then she is not entitled to stay in the U.S., as that is the conditions of the K-1 Visa.

Good luck.

Hello Robert!!!

First of all, I am very sorry to hear about your situation. my thoughts to you is DON'T GET MARRY, if you are not marry yet. If you are not marry...there is nothing she can do to stay in the US. You have nothing to worry about. Best of luck to you...

AAAAAAAAAwwww robertlaird!!!!

What a shame... Im sorry... I watched all your process and I feel very bad that happened...

I think that if you didnt marry her yet, you wont have any responsabilities after the 90 day period... But, during this period, maybe you can have some trouble... Im not sure, someone here probably has better advice...

Good luck...

I would think INS may be able to help you out. One thing you need to be aware of is the following. I know that the reason the visa proccess has just changed ( i saw this on tv) is that a lot of women are coming to the states and as soon as they get here they say there (husband/boyfriend) beats them. And without any proof you are kind of in the SH*T so im not an expert on this at all but i think this needs to be reported to someone ASAP to get yourself off the hook.

If you are not married yet, if you dont marey within the alloted time then she will have to return home., i think but someone else here may be more knowledgable.

Wow thats horrible man.

But listen, if you guys havent got married and she is obviously not being honest with you, then really your obligations are over. Like others have said, she has to marry you within 90 days, and if she doesnt do that then she will be illegal here. Its not your fault and nothing will happen to you. I'd call ICE and let them know whats up and see what they tell you.

But if you buy her a ticket and she bolts from the airport or something, thats really not your problem.

I got the impression from his post that Robert is well aware of this. The problem is that he thinks she's going to take off before he (or someone else) forces her to get on a plane back to Columbia.

The questions are: will Robert be held responsible for the affidavit of support?; will he be culpable in the eyes of DHS for aiding an illegal?;

What is his burden here?

I'm sorry this has happened to you. Maybe you can start gathering evidence to back you up... make hard copies or save it.

So very sorry for you - definately confront her about it - use your intuition as well.

sorry

Agrees!! Report what is going on ASAP and you won't have problems with law!

I'm sorry to hear that, though... Shame on her! That's why it's so hard for us that want to get married for love to get our visas...

Be strong, dear... God bless you!

Nope, he's not liable for her support. And, at least for now, he can't be found guilty of aiding an illegal alien.

Basically, as long as they're not married yet, all he can do (short of putting her on a plane) is inform ICE and write it off as a hard lesson.
