as long as his marriage in his own country is recognized by some authorities you should be good to go. Shoudln't be any different "common law marriage" in TX.

Also entering into marriage for immigration purposes is good enough to annull the marriage...

I think in Camroon they call it a traditional marriage, and mine to him was a legal one... and yes in their country it is acceptable to marry more than one.. crazy.. I found this out in the past 3 months...

however, as I was reading in New Hampshire laws, if any sort of fraud has been commited through this marriage it should be good to get this marriage annulled...However, one never knows until in front of a judge in a court room..

What made me puke, is when I found out that my husband was going on dating site to find a husband for his traditional wife in hope they would marry and the man (USA) bring her into the USA..after that they would find one another and work their plan out....sickening..

all fraud all the way around........

Thank you for your help ......

you may at any time file for an annulment based off of fraud. ignore what others say.

as for ICE never contacting you it is possible, goto USCIS and inform them of the fraud as well...then gather up all your evidence to DISPROVE a marriage in good faith, have friends, family, witness go into the USCIS offices with you and you will be required to testify as if you would in court before immigration officers in a back room.

remember though, an annulment means nothing. the federal government will and does act independent of any state civil action. meaning if you get a no fault because it is quicker it means NOTHING in terms of helping the immigrant as does the finding of fraud. if it to be an uncontested divorce where you are going to win by default...go for the annulment. you may also sue your spouse in civil court for good measure, put him/her in debt 30,000 to think about what they just did.

then to really ####### the immigrant scammers as 1/2 of k-1 and k-3 visa are surely a scam on the immigrants part or higher per national statistics....contact the IRS and inform them you have been defrauded. Adjust your tax returns according to deduct the losses that accured as a result of a crime in which you reported, then remove the filing status of "married filing jointly" from there as well. this may mean you have to pay an extra grand in back taxes. hit them where it will make the government change their laws...hit them in the tax revenue department. if enough people who reported their fraud to DHS then wrote off the loss of income due to fraud which was reported to the IRS then that would possibly speed up the process. then of course inform USCIS of all of these actions.

but remember, as a USCIS investigator told me...illegal immigrants are like roaches....once you get them here it is difficult to get rid of them like a roach hanging out in your wall even if they have to hide out from USCIS...they wil find jobs to work for cash and such but fraud is fraud and they will never be given anmesty because of that fraud, it is a lifetime ban.

We are comparing people to roaches now?

Nice.

I am not sure if I am in the right forum, however, i am writing here. I have separated about four months ago from my husband, becuas I have found out that he fruadullently married me for a green card. When I throu him out he left alot of important information at home.

My friend and I found all of his chats, emails and telephone conversations he was having wit his traditional wife from Cameroon, he was recording all of his conversations with his wife there, his family and other friends. We found this here all stored in a memory stick. We played the audios, read all of thechats and emails he saved in the memory stick.. he himself admitted that if he is ever found out, that it would cost him his papers.

Unknown to me he had a family, that is a mother and brothers , (he told me that his mom died when he was 3 years old) a traditional wife and children in Cameroon..

I have reported him to ICE about 2 months ago. Nov 12th, 2009.

To this day I have not heard anything from ICE, since I am the one who has all the proofs with me. Is there anythin else I can do to speed this process?

Should I file for a divorce now or wait until ICE investigate, and finds him guilty? or wait to get an annullement?

i just need guidance at this point... I want his behind me....

thank you...

What you do is immediately report it to the sherrifs department and make a police report that you can foward to ICE.

Then go to the courthouse and file for divorce and tell them you want to publish the case. Its a pretty easy process.

Foward a letter to the consulate in Cameroon as well as USCIS and the NATIONAL VISA CENTER and for good measure throw one into HOMELAND SECURITY and at the next thing you have to do is try to move past this garbage. It will come up later for him. Right now take care of you

No you do not report it to the sheriff's office...IMMIGRATION matters are a federal matter to be handled by the federal government. The state, city, county, or local jurisdictions do not enforce immigration laws for the federal government. If they did sadly we would not have the rampant illegal immigration problems we do today.

I would inform the domestic court of the immigration fraud ongoing and your reporting it to federal authorities(any drug use in the past or abuse)...they will have seen it before and issue you a restraining order...but you must show proof to them that you are in fear for your safety. Immigration fraud is a federal felony, then to plan it out in detail is a federal felony of conspiracy to commit a crime/fraud. Reporting those crimes is enough to give any person fears as the federal government actively prosecutes those who conspire to defraud the government, ICE on a daily basis is busting people and giving them 20 years after court for conspiracy if you check their site out.

Update:

As of Jan 19, 2010.. I have given a statement to local ICE, because ICE in Washington was not moving on it. My senator's office made the call To local ICE here in NH and told them to contact me immediately as I had a fraudulent mariage to report. They got right on it, I have spent 3 good hours on the phone with one of the agent. It was not easy, however a report was made. The agent was a bit overwhelmed with all of the info I gave her. She kept repeating" this is alot of info" . I have even stated to her that by listening to all of the husband recording, that it was a conspiracy to defraud the sponsor and the government. She agreed with me. Her pre-occupation was my well-being and the financial aspect I had to go through...She said that the report will be going to an investigator and if need be I can always call back to add to the report, in case I forgot something...I wont hear from them unless they want all the proofs.. That is how I will know if they will investigate the man..

Take care everyone, and thank you for your support..

PS: Kansas, you gave me good advices, and thank you....I will contact all other federal agencies also.

God bless

Thank you people for your support.. On Fiday Jan 22, 2010 I also mailed an affidavit to The National Visa Center in Portsmouth NH along with a copy of the letter I sent

to the US Embassy in Cameroon. My goal is to touch as many agencies as I can in the next 10 days..My next one is USCIS and the IRS.

Since given my report to ICE, I have had a couple of bad days, I have found more phone recordings on the husband's part with his people in Cameroon.

I became very emotional and not doing well....Today saturday, I am much better..Yes, It was a total conspiracy..Very scary..

take care all, and God bless all of you for your efforts...

Sorry you are going through this. I dont know if this has been previously mentioned or not but you can also go to your local USCIS or Homeland Security office and explain the situation and you can write a handwritten or take a typed letter with any proof you may have which can be put into his permanent file so that if he misplaces his greencard and needs to have it replacedor applies for citizenship they will find the information you have provided in his file. Hope this helps and stay strong!!!!

====================================================================

Thank you Nancy..Yes, I need to get to my local office Homeland Security. I have sent two other letter to USCIS, one in Vermont where I have originally filed his I-130 back in 2005. They have received it already and also I sent one in California...I have sent some proofs not all to justify my claim. I am afraid to collapse when I tell them in person, a way of speaking..By now I think I have written to basically all agencies. Except IRS..This will come soon because he will be due to file his w-2's ..haha..surprise.....I will fix his butt there too...

Aagain, tanx to all of you....You have two beautiful pictures on your profiles....good wishes to both of you..

Sincerely,

MmeRej..

so sorry this has happened to you. Try to move on with your life, get your divorce and move on. ICE won't do anything - even if you call them up and say "he's here right now", it's not cost efficient enough for them to come and get him unfortunately. Try to put this behind you, I know easier said and done but he has already taken up enough of your time. So sorry again.
