Rdsey,

You have signed affidevit of support when sent package for conditional GC. It means that you must take care of financial needs of your husband till he becomes citizen or leaves US permanetly-even if divorced. But it pretty much about paying gov back if he goes on wellfare or somekind gov assistance. It is gov protection that new immigrants would not become a public charge (become supported by gov). However, it is rarely inforced. And I doubt that he would fire a goog lawyer to get some money from you based on affidevit of support.

Alimony is a different story. Divorce and alimony has nothing to do with immigration. So, if immigration has decided that marriage was not bona fide and denied his I-751 with waiver, for family court the marriage is bona fide and regular rules apply. So, if his I-751 is denied (but it does not look that the grounds for denial will be marriage fraud-most probably it will be that he has failed to prove that marriage was bona fide; if denied based on fraud-he is deportable; if not enough proof that marraige was bona fide-he is denied but can start all over with new wife/through work) and he does not live country, he might ask for alimony in family court.

Anyway, you should not worry about it. Looks like he just wanted GC. I would bet that he would want a quick divorce without strings attached. From your story, he is not that malicious. I guess he became amoral user because whenever he is from life is too tough. I would say, forget about him and move on. There is no excuse for using you/playing on your feeling to such extend. There had to be a way not to hurt you so much and tell truth. He just cannot take risk by telling you the truth-he prefered to torture you instead of a chance to hear that you take it to CIS.

The only way Rdsey is not responsible for spousal support if I-751 is denied and he does not find other way to stay. Because he is deportable only if they prove that marriage was a fraud. If there is not enough proof for bona fide, hes I-751 might be denied but he still can get adjudicated through other marriage, work, etc.

But even if his immigration status has no bearings on divorce court. He can sue for alimony even if CIS decided that marriage is not bona fide.

Im not totally understanding, will you please explain it over thanks

Dear Sans:

You repeat everything. Nothing has changed and your husband is still a jerk who is using you.

Advice: Keep written records of every time you call immigration about reporting your husband for immigration fraud.

Write down:

Date of call

Time of call

Name of Immigration representative you speak to

What you speak about

Later, if the government comes knocking on your door for money to pay for this husband, you can say to them, "Hey I reported this to you and here is a record of my contacting you and trying to get some action from you."

Best of luck.

Karina and Tomy

:star: ok

I am not sure what kind of advice you are looking for at this point - what to do with your relationship, or what to do about his Immigration status - so I will just say my thoughts...

I can appreciate that you want to make your marriage work, that it is very important to you, but please ask yourself this: do you have a real marriage right now? Do you have trust for him, or love from him? Do you have honesty? Why do you feel that it is important to fight for this marriage, when he has never really been involved with you since he arrived? Why do you continue to fight for this marriage, or believe things like someone would follow him from one state to another keeping him from getting a good job?? Even if they really didn't like him, how many would go to such trouble - unless he really really really is a bad seed and they didn't want him to affect someone else...

I feel for you, I really do - it seems that your desire for love and marriage has blinded you (partially at least) to the truth of this situation. Please take care of yourself, and think very hard if you want to continue to support him in any way - financially, to get his 10 year Green Card, etc.

[font="Comic Sans MS]Im back with something else.

I wonder if it mean of me to hold on to my husband until we goto removel of conditions with hopes that immugrations will pull up my complaints on my husbnd then they procede with their process.

I went to NY to visit my husband and long and behold he is still chatting with females, it has not stopped this is him, he thinks its ok because he hadnt had sex with them. The women confirm they have not but he prey on the innocent.

I received his bank statement he withdrew $2777 within a month $400 every other day. The only thing he pays for his rent, food, gas, misc. He was more upset I found that info. then anything.[/font]

My only advice for you is to kick the loser to the curb. You seem to be weaiting for a miracle to happen. Your husband will not change. Accept it and begin the process of moving on with your life.
