You might assist her in filing for asylum but not file for her.

Hi asylum is not an easy thing to prove and if they think you're doing it to gain any type of immigration benefit this person can receive a lifetime ban. One more thing, if you're going to file for asylum, I believe it has to be done within a year of entry into the US or a time bar issue will come up and that will have to be addressed in immigration court (if it reaches that far).

She....supposedly came here to marry this other guy.....and....now...what....she's...not going to marry him? If she isn't going to fulfill the purpose she...supposedly....came here for, then why wouldn't she go home? Ooohh, yeah, that's right...the repressive regime problem. Sure that's not why she came in the first place? If I were USCIS - you'd have to work awfully hard to prove to me otherwise.

thanks for all your responses.One main point i forget to include is that this was a arranged situation. Sometimes two people just don't click. Anyway my friend has found another man. Can she marry him? he is a us citizen.

Not if she entered on the K-1. She would have to return to Afghanistan and either pursue another K-1 or marry and pursue a spousal visa to return.

Yes, she can marry the other man, while she is still in the U.S. However, she will still need to leave the country before her 90 days is up. Then her new husband can petition for a spouse visa for her. Edited September 18, 2008 by akdiver

That was the name of the unit I worked in as a bill collector. The gave if that name because we were able to track down and extract money from people who seemed to have disappeared - like a ghost.

With agood lawyer, she can apply for asylum. Although she came here as a K1, she can apply for asylum if going back to her home country will put her in danger.

i know of many cases who got here and then sought asylum successfully. However, the applicant has to be from a hotspot like Afgan or Iraq etc.

By the looks of your avatar you are one of the ghosts.

Wow, she already met another man to marry? She works fast! It took me a year before I decided to marry my husband.

Sorry no advice on the subject, its not my area, but I am curious, is your brother an immigrant as well, or was he (and you) born and raised in the US?

I understand the situation, I think....if it was arranged and she now goes home, "divorced" it could be a serious problem for her and the families involved. Was there dowry exchanges between families????

The problem is that she does have to go back to her country of origin if the K-1 did not work out. If she can show PROOF (hard proof) she will face iminent harm going back, then maybe she can get assylum.

This is a question for a immigration lawyer who specializes in refugee work.

thanks again for your replies!, One of the problems about going back home is the issue of family honor. This may involve her losing her life if she goes back or worse! My bro is a citizen, and saw how my marriage was arranged and worked thought he could do he same, but it didn't work out. I think i have a good case because of the area being a hotbed for uneducated mullahs who think they know everything and may want to apply their own justice. What u think?

Well, using this logic, any woman from Afghanistan or similar places can get a K-1 visa, forget about getting married once she gets here, and get asylum - thus making the K-1 a defacto asylum visa. Does this make sense to you? The U.S. can't be responsible for the local culture in these places (no matter how hard it tries). If a woman doesn't want to face that risk, she shouldn't apply for the K-1 in the first place. Were I in the govt, I'd send her home for sure.
