ex-fiancee (K1) still trying for work authorization and SSN

[Chris and Janaina 0]

On November 11, my ex-fiancee arrived in the US. She exhibited immediate disinterest in our relationship and engagement, and it is my belief that she entered the US with no intention of marrying me.

I am already sending a registered letter to USCIS, stating that I will not be marrying the beneficiary, as well as a brief (and non-angry) description of her actions upon arrival.

I also included an email from her stating that she plans to remain here for some time, and work before going home to her country. I also printed an online message from her to someone else, where she states that she does not intent to get married.

Recently, I learned that beginning a week after her arrival, and without my knowledge, she contracted a local attorney to submit an application for work authorization, as well as for a Social Security number.

My Questions:

1. SSN. She would have submitted a Form SS-5, in person at a local Social Security office, correct?

2. Work Authorization. She would have submitted an I-765 to VSC, correct? The lawyer told her the fee to apply for work authorization is $350, and I know the I-765 is $340, so this must be what he's talking about.

3. I'm aware that the I-765 could easily take 90 days to process, correct? If the K-1 visa expires before the I-765 is processed, will she still get work authorization? If she manages to get work authorization before the K1 expires, will the work authorization expire too?

4. Is it worth anything to inform the Social Security Administration of what's going on?

5. I thought I would take a second copy of the letter I'm sending to VSC, attach a small letter to the front of it explaining that the Beneficiary is trying for an I-765, and send that to VSC Attention I-765. Good? Bad?

6. My main question is this: She's not marrying me, but she's probably filed an I-765 along with the SS-5. Even though she will become a visa overstayer soon............will she get away with working here in the U.S.? If so, will she be able to get away with it just for a little while, or indefinitely?

Please understand that I am not a revenge-type person, but I cannot simply sit by while this person commits immigration fraud in my good name. I feel obligated to inform the proper authorities, and I need to clear my name in case I wish to marry another foreign-born person in the future.

Thanks.

I am sorry to hear this, and I understand your position.

First, you have to consider the type of the visa, which is a K-1. It is obligation for her to marry you, if not, then she is using the visa for the wrong purpose.

I wonder how she can file all thoes document withour your "affidavit of support" document, and without "marrying you", the best thing is that you withdraw your support of her K-1 (I think you have mentioned it at the beginning).

Good luck to you.

The above comment is just what I consider it as the "type" of visa and the annotation, which I consider you have to follow it strictly but I am not sure if it's going to be right or wrong. You should consider the comment of thoes who really know.

My Questions:

1. SSN. She would have submitted a Form SS-5, in person at a local Social Security office, correct? Yes - and may get the card/number - it will have the annotation "Not Valid for Work Without DHS Authorization" on it.

2. Work Authorization. She would have submitted an I-765 to VSC, correct? The lawyer told her the fee to apply for work authorization is $350, and I know the I-765 is $340, so this must be what he's talking about.

3. I'm aware that the I-765 could easily take 90 days to process, correct? If the K-1 visa expires before the I-765 is processed, will she still get work authorization? If she manages to get work authorization before the K1 expires, will the work authorization expire too? The K1 is no longer valid once entering the US - it is the I-94 that will expire 90-days after arrival. A K-1 entrant is not authorized to work and must have a pending application for adjustment (of status).

4. Is it worth anything to inform the Social Security Administration of what's going on? No - you can't really go around to every government office - you've informed USCIS already.

5. I thought I would take a second copy of the letter I'm sending to VSC, attach a small letter to the front of it explaining that the Beneficiary is trying for an I-765, and send that to VSC Attention I-765. Good? Bad? You've already informed USCIS.

6. My main question is this: She's not marrying me, but she's probably filed an I-765 along with the SS-5. Even though she will become a visa overstayer soon............will she get away with working here in the U.S.? If so, will she be able to get away with it just for a little while, or indefinitely? Not likely, not legally anyway..

Please understand that I am not a revenge-type person, but I cannot simply sit by while this person commits immigration fraud in my good name. I feel obligated to inform the proper authorities, and I need to clear my name in case I wish to marry another foreign-born person in the future.

Thanks.
