I feel it was a fraudulent marriage

[diadromous mermaid 36]

1. I was wondering do I need to let INS know that we divorced and if so do I include the divorce papers?

2. If I write INS that I believe it was a fraudulent marriage what will they do with that info?

3. If he is out of the US and tries to come back in will he be permitted if INS is told the marriage was fraudulent?

1. It depends. You have no obligation to inform USCIS, and when he applies to remove conditions, he will inform USCIS by way of the type of I-751 he would file. But if you wish to bring attention to your concern that you feel his intentions upon entering the marriage were not genuine, then yes, by all means do so. I would caution you that now that you are divorced, any information concerning his immigration process or status would not be divulged to you, unless your testimony would be key to a fraud investigation.

2. The information would be placed in his A file, and depending upon how convincing the evidence you present is, he may be interviewed at the next stage in his process. You may even be asked to present a sworn statement, too.

3. Yes he will be permitted to return, even if USCIS has received notice that you suspect this was a case of unilateral fraud. Of course, based upon what you might share, were USCIS to move to rescind (very doubtful) but chances are USCIS would await his application to remove conditions prior to making any nest step. Were he to submit a wiaver, and there were sufficient evidence to show that he entered the marriage fraudulently, if he is out of the country when a subsequent I-751 waiver is adjudicated, and the decision is to deny, then he would not be able to re-enter.

diadromous mermaid you write that the info will be placed in his A file. Do they sit on the info and wait for him to file the I-751 before contacting him? Will they follow up with me first?

Are there any threads that detail a person reporting fraud? Again please do not thing that this is just over infidelity. As I stated there are things that I can't mention at this time that I truely believe point to fraud.

Once again it depends upon how compelling the evidence you submit with your report is. If, for example, you supply evidence that he began a relationship during the marriage or maintained a relatinship with a fellow foreign-born all during the marriage, chances are this will not be sufficient to trigger a fraud investigation, but it might initiate a line of questioning if an interview is scheduled.

If, however, you provide evidence that he disclosed to others that he married you solely to gain residency, and this is in his hand and written to someone else, then USCIS would turn the file over to the local district office and when his I-751 is being adjudicated he would definitely be called in and questioned. In the meantime, should the local office have reason to believe your allegation that he entered the marriage with fraudulent intent, you will be asked to provide sworn testimony, conducted at the local office before the Anti Fraud Unit, and in writing (many times these sworn statements are also videotaped) , which will also be placed in his A file. It is also not uncommon for an AO from the local district office to call you, personally, to discuss the circumstances surrounding the marriage. Once again, this will depend entirely upon what and how compelling the evidence is that you have to offer.

Completely agree with Diadromous Mermaid. If you feel that your evidence of fraud could be substantiated by other people testimony, letters, pictures, etc, go ahead and make sure that CIS take your information seriously.

Letters from USC are very common-they are called "angry spouse leters". Usually immigration officers tell I-751 beneficiaries about the letter from spouse in divorce cases. My guess is that most letters are not taken seriously (and most came from failed but real marriages). Sounds like you indeed were abused. But if you cannot substantiate the abuse, I would suggest to move on with your life and be happy. Let him know that you are so happy that he is out of your life and that it took only 1 year. Send your evidence but dont expect too much. Just move on. You deserve better. I saw some people getting bitter and ruining life because they wanted revenge more that happiness. Do what you can do, send what you have, dont waste your time on getting more evidence, thinking about this low ex. Take it as a good lesson-there are people without any morals and very low intentions. Even the smartest people could be hooked. Only cynical and self-centered people are spared. Hope you will not turn into such.
