Accused of Marriage Fraud!

Hello to all memebers,

I had posted here some months back regarding my hysterical and vindictive US spouse.I am now at a ponit where i can only hope for the best and be prepared for the worst.we were married june 2007 and three months into marriage noticed signs of mental abuse.(We had a minor misundertsatnding and USC threatens not to file AOS). We some how got through this time and had a happy normal life until i got appraoval notice for CPR-1.

Things got worse when started i applying for jobs to any place she did not approve she litterally threw a fit,calling my family and telling them how "stubborn'' i was.Any misudestatnding we had she would remind me that she brought me here and can take me out.I am not trying to say that i had no flaws but i knew for sure that those threats were totally unwarrnted..... My show of affection and trust naturally dwindled, and you bet things got worse.

We seperated in march 2008 after i confronted her.Telling her that i could no longer put up with the baiting and stipulations or the fear of what harm she could do beacuse of the green card accuired throug marraige.(bear in mind she had conatantly kept very late nights for a whole month) with flimsy exuces.During this confronatation she tried hard to create violenec,threw several object at me ,pushed and yelled,but thanks to God I held my peace and eventually she asked me to leave her house (we had been married for 9 months then and my name was never added to lease).I had no place to go to and was barely a month at work,so i went to a mens shelter (one of the most degrading periods of my life).

A week from this inicdence we were able to come to talking terms.She apologised and begged me to come back home, i refused (probably bull headed of me)But at that time felt the worst,my stand was that she should attend anger mangement classes and we should move into another apartment where we both signed the lease(she refused) and in a week from this she closed our joint account,changed my cell phone voicemail which was i her possesion and reversed my spousal tution discount (she works at a university) and overnight i got a bill for $10,000.00 :help:

all said and done i had to drop out of school as i was in badstanding due to debts.

She refused to coperate at couselling and played the fraud card becuase i would not come home.The couselors were no longer willing to work with us.she and her family treated me like dirt and would not make any attempts to help the situation(their counsel was that they would support their daughter with whatever she decided).This got me thinking these people would be my childerns grandparents.......NOT!

For months later she USC filed for leagl seperation with a claim that she has hope for reconcliation and i counter filed for a divorce.We have no property on children so divorce should be staright foward.But now she accuses me of using her for a green card.I came here on a K1 VISA.I believe with little doubt that she has made up all kind of stories with and told immigration,she is in posseion of my childhood and college pictures and denies having them i have asked her to return them but i guess this is her ways of punishing me for fliling for a divorce.......i think she is seriously confused and mad at herself.

I know i can file for self petition once divorce is final and i would love to stay here in USA if possible but what effect would her false acusation of fraud have on my AOS later on?

Thanks for your suggestions

It would appear she's attempting to release herself from the obligations of the I-864. If successful in showing fraud on your part, removing conditions will be quite difficult for you.

Wow!! You have been through a lot, but I too also agree that she is probably trying to avoid the I-864 stipulations. I would personally seek legal advice. The best you could do is just ask how you could make your situation better and what to avoid because you never know what hidden laws there are concerning your green card and the amount of time you need to stay together, especially if you haven't been married 2 years.

I am inexperienced in this arena, but wouldn't she have to have some sort of physical proof of fraud? Is it that easy to just say fraud without proof?

Immigration issues set aside, it sounds like you are lucky to have gotten out of this situation.

Good question. I would definitely consider going back home for emotional support, if nothing else.

Good luck, sorry you have been through so much so fast.

I would go home to my family for some healing.

If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!

The allegation of fraudulent intent should have less bearing on a successful removal of conditions than the evidence you have that you shared a residence and commingled your financial and social lives. Any evidence that once you left the marital home, she asked for you to return? I would suspect that if you did, it would cause USCIS to dismiss her allegation, entirely, and chalk it up to the actions of an embittered spouse. If she really did suspect that your initial motivation was for immigrant benefit alone, there's no chance she'd beg you to come back later.

Yah she filed for seperation not divorce. she wanted possible reconciliation..thats why I asked what you did to upset her? If you want free get divorce and proove your initial intent to marry and make it work. I wouldnt focus on her abuse andd being "crazy" men caneasily drive women over the edge.

Sorry for what you are going through. I would take the advice of others here and seek an immigration attorney.
