Well now look back and collect in your mind all of the other warning signs.

So sorry to hear this. Nice, well meaning people are hurt by people with bad intentions. Others might take sport in making fun of you, but I sure won't.

Don't more things make sense now that this has happened? Things that made you question her love? Or question the way you approached this?

I am really sorry that it happen to you, I dont understand how can be people so bad in this world, it is nice that she killed herself, after this she can stay in US, but she is going to be illegal, there is not way to have a normal life here, even if she try to marry someone else it wont be any easy with USCIS to her......and you are going to find someone who really loves you, you will see!!!

Sounds like you're a true gentleman and I'm so sorry this happened to you. She clearly does not deserve you, and it's very obvious that she and/or her family were exploiting your kindness for their benefit. It's possible too that maybe she fell in love with the person you are but perhaps didn't share a physical attraction. Either way, the fact that she kept you clueless until days before your reception is unconscionable. Clearly you sacrificed a lot for her. All of us on here know how stressful this process is, and the fact you endured the long distance courtship, the k1 visa process, and married her, says you've endured a lot and invested a lot.

May God Bless You! May you find true love and happiness. May you not allow what's happened to you to consume you.

Thanks for sharing.

Hello all, just a little update and some questons:

Just a lil background,

I petitioned for "Amy" a K1 visa in June 2008,She came 5 months later in Late November2008. We married a month later at the county clerk and USCIS recieved her AOS (i485, i864) on Feburary 25 , a couple of days before her I-94 expired. Around that time, she recieved her SSN. After our Marrage at the county this person changed. Our wedding reception was suppose to be May5th. Her Family are very old fashioned and asked for things to be done like in the old counrty, meaning we cant live together until our wedding reception night. So we never had sex. Then 10 days before our wedding she tells my family that we dont "understand" each other and that we should divorce. She waited until the last possible minute. I lost alot of money form wedding hall, flowers, etc. So I filed for divorce, and sent USCIS a letter Withdrawing the AOS, I also made an Infopass appointment. (i will be taking IO my wedding card Invitation, 350 were mailed out, i had to call everyone to cancel.

So today i had the interview infopass appointment. It was in a brand new building that was very clean and very nice. I waited about an hour after my intial appointment to be called up. When i finally was, a nice lady asked my why I was here, i told her that i would like to withdrawl my I485. She wasnt surprised, she said she sees these types of cases alot. I told her i sent my withdrawl letter to the Chicago Lockbox, she told me that i should send it with my divorce filing to the National Benifits Center, which i did today. She told me as soon as my I485 and I864 are withdrawn that the Beneficiary is bascially out of options and she dosent have much to do. She told me to make copies of all my docs. I was pretty satisfied, And as soon as i left i sent withdrawl request along with divorce filing to National benifts center, i do not wanna be responsilbe for this perspn for 10 years.

i forgot to ask her if she put some kind of red flag on her file through the computer. Does anyone know if she does.

Please feel free to ask any questions or add any comments!

Excuse me for saying this, but if the marriage was not consumated, why not file for an annulment? Wouldn't that be cheaper and quicker in the long run?

Hi hellonew,

You'll be better off without her, and you'll realize it later. You should be happy it all happened now before marriage and before she got her GC. Because think only for a minute how much more your heart would be broken later if you found out in few years she married you for the GC.

I honestly don't understand how ppl decide to get married or engaged shortly after they met... online!

Without being together physically (I do not mean only sexually). You know it's different when you go to a movie together, or having a walk by the water, or even shopping together - and then noticing their real reactions and response to the environment :blush: I'm glad we lived together with hubby before we got married :):star:

hellonew, wish you all the best and a kind, nice, loving future bride :thumbs:

That's pretty rough. The LAST possible moment?!?!?!?! REALLY suxs

Yea 10 days before our wedding, it was all setup all along. 10 days before the wedding she tells my and family and i that we dont understand each other, So i tell her lets push the wedding date back to give us more time, as soon as i said that she said she wants a divorce. I was in shock. I still am. U think u know someone then bam! its over.

Thanks for ur support everyone! please feel to add any comments advice

Hate to say it, but I alluded to it in your other post, this is one of the typical ploys that nefarious people use to obtain green cards.

Get married (to satisfy the requirements of the K-1)

Don't consummate the marriage for some x reason.

Get AOS, get green card, file for divorce.

The only thing in this case, it appears she pulled the rug out too soon.

My buddy who works for USCIS says some of the people coming over here don't even wait to get to get past the first day of arrival in the US, they immediately call the cops and claim "abuse" from the USC, and attempt to file for the VAWA.

Of course I am not implying the immigrant in this case was planning this.

My Advice is usually based on "Worst Case Scenario" and what is written in the rules/laws/instructions. That is the way I roll... -Protect your Status - file before your I-94 expires.

WARNING: Phrases in this post may sound meaner than they were intended to be. Read the Adjudicator's Field Manual from USCIS

Dave

My lawyer advised me againt an annulment saying it would be very expensive in that she is going to obviously say that she didnt commit fraud., i later found out that her lawyer and my lawyer are best friends, so i maybe i was tricked into not filing for an annulment. I dont think it matters, i told USCIS that we didnt have sex in 2 documnets i sent, one to the National benfits center, and one to chicago lockbox. I just hope i will not be held responsible for this person forever. That would suck! but everyone has told me she cant adjust status no matter what since she doesnt have her green card. Even if she tried to claim she entered in good faith(impossible)!

Thanks for everyone support!

How can you get a divorce if the wedding never push thru.....huh sound confusing.

In our culture, the bride and groom dont move in until our wedding reception. That's why she waited 10 days before our wedding date. We had the civil marriage to get our life started. I.E. taxes, my schooling, and she was going to go to school too. Hopefully i answered ur question.

I would guess you added to the confusion by not stating it correctly above. (Should have said "wedding reception date" not "wedding date".

To clarify:

You got married.

You did not have sex.

Because she said she wanted to wait until the wedding reception, which hopefully for her never happened.

Wedding reception scheduled for May 5

She asks for divorce before May 5.

And legally, the marriage was never consummated which is grounds for annullment in most states. She does not need to admit to fraud. You just need to show to the judges satisfaction you did not have sex.

That would be easy if you just record a conversation you have on the phone with her - I did that in my state, which was perfectly legal without telling the other party and I had a bullet-proof admission to something on record. Once I had that statement she was looking at perjury for denying it in court.

You can do a lot of this legal research on annullment vs dissolution or whatever on your own. Use google to find your own state statutes governing it.

I think ur counfusing alot of us, lol, its clearly stated she asked for divorce because we "dont understand each other", which means, "i dont want u anymore thanks for bringing me to this great nation goodbye"!

We didnt have sex because SHE didnt want to, she wanted to wait until THE NIGHT OF OUR WEDDING RECEPTION! and i agreed to that! I hope i cleared it up for u, i dont need to record her, i dont want to see or speak to her so i wont be accused of abuse of any sort.

This is an open and shut case, she doesnt have her green card yet, meaning when i filed for divorce due to fraud on her part and withdrew I485 and I864, she is out of status.

The rule with the k1 is that the beneficiary can only adjust through petitioner, which is me!
