CR-1 Visa Annulment

Like the bit where he says the child is a USC?

Not if the OP can prove paternity and has the court amend the birth record.

The child IS a US Citizen by birth, not by virtue of either parent by by virtue of having been born in the USA.

Ah yes well my bad.

The US marriage might well be annullable, because it was entered into fraudulently by both parties. When you applied for a marriage license, you both had to swear you were not married. But you already had a Cambodian marriage certificate, which you had already used to get the marriage based visa. Therefore, you weren't entitled to a marriage license in the US.

But any annulment of the US marriage still leaves the legally binding Cambodian marriage to deal with.

Talk to a family lawyer in your own state about the procedure for annulment, but you may have difficulty annulling the Cambodian marriage. Most states have a limited time period beyond which an annulment cannot be obtained. It's probably simpler and cheaper to get a divorce to end the Cambodian marriage.

As for terminating the I-864, see the terminating conditions listed on the I-864 itself. Neither divorce nor annulment is grounds for terminating the I-864.

The hospital bills are a private debt, due by their stated due-date, with payment from the responsible party (by all appearances, the OP, who expressed worry about it). Should the OP later successfully sue someone (his ex-wife after divorce, or the Philippine impregnator) and collected the damages, it would seem that he could be reimbursed by either of those private parties for those hospital expenses. However, no one else but the OP is responsible for the actual hospital debts if he signed for them. I consider it unlikely (and outlandish) that a contract between private parties (the OP & the hospital) could be voided in any timely manner, especially given usual language such as "minimum (or full, or a percentage of) payment is due within 30 days," or similar -- especially since the OP likely SIGNED something to state that he was responsible for payment and agreed to comply with those terms. Hospitals tend to be VERY thorough about things like this.

The above aside, good luck on collecting any damages. The OP could risk far more in attorneys' fees, and damage to his own credit record for untimely payment of bills (if he were to resist paying the hospital while paternity challenges played out), than if he simply paid the hospital bills and chalked it up to an expensive lesson.

If any of the foregoing is incorrect, then an attorney can come along and correct it.

He never said that the impregnator was from the PI (the wife was from Cambodia). Other than that, I agree with you.

It takes no effort to make someone who provides wrong information ("ah yes you bad") to look like an amateur. As a suggestion, keep your feelings out of this and concentrate on providing accurate information to posters who are relying upon receiving it.

Chill out, old man. I made a mistake.

Fortunately for me and the rest of the community, we've got people like you to go up behind us and clean up the mess.

I have no personal feelings at all in the matter. Other than observing the comedy of you running up behind your bromancer and admonishing others to "read and heed".

I think you need to relax. This is a message board - not a business.

[TBoneTX 45,288]

"Bromancer" is a great term -- thanks for that, si man!

It's a message board people depend on to make decisions that impact their future happiness, so we all benefit by treating it as such.

I did acknowledge I made a mistake.

But the next time it happens, (which I'm sure I will since I'm human) I'll be sure to grovel more.

My wife and I received our Cambodia issued marriage license in 2007. For the next 2 years I provided spousal support

for her while waiting for her to receive her visa. After she received her visa from the consulate, she slept with her boyfriend and arrived in May 2009 to the United States pregnant. Unaware of her adultry, I married her again 3 days after after her arrival to U.S.A. She gave Birth to her boyfriends baby yesterday and I'm seeking an Annulment for marriage fruad and release of any I-864 liability and her immediate deportation as my I-864 AOS does not include supporting her and her boyfriends child. What are my chances to have a successful annulment? Am I on the hook

delivery cost of her boyfriends baby?

No, you don't have anything to do with the baby that was fathered by someone else, your wife slept with her boyfriend. I think you should get a lawyer to discuss the details.

The CR-1 I metioned refers to the Green Card... not the Visa. The K-3 Spouse visa was issued by the consulate and the CR-1 Green Card was issued by USCIS. The 90 day prior to the 2 year issuance of the CR-1 Green Card is approaching. What I-864 liabilities exist now?

You are on the hook for the next 10 years or so unless she meets one of the requirements otherwise such as obtaining citizenship, losing her residency status, accumulating 40 work credits (10 years) etc. Her obtaining her 10 year green card or another term is filing for removal of conditions does not relieve you of your obligations under the I-864.

Just curious what is the current status of you and the woman?

As long as she's still in the USA, nothing changes based on the passage of time alone. Are you still married? The answer doesn't in and of itself change your I-864 obligations but it may have impact on other issues of importance.
