Need some advice PRONTO

[Antonio 0]

Hi,All

Have gotten myself into a bit of a mess. My EX Fiance was approved for her Fiance visa back in April.Came here July 5th. Anyway,it turned out BAD X INFINITY. Turns out she used me to get here,and,in the process,was talking to another guy here in the US. Anyway,I threw her out when I found out. Now,she's in Dallas with this other guy,and,says she is going to sue me,because,of course,I signed the Affadavit of Support. Anybody know who I should call,or what course of action I should take? Any and AL advice will be GREATLY appreciated.

The I-134 is not legally binding and only used for a conof to determine if the applicant will or wont become a public charge prior to granting a visa. Thats it.

Call the USCIS and revoke your petition. You're not on the hook for anything.

Thank God for that. I mean, God forbid any of us would have to go through that but with regard to the 90 day period for getting married once they are on U.S. soil - there's pressure to get it done sooner in order for them to qualify to work as well as travel outside of the U.S.. I almost wish the government would automatically grant a temporary card for employment just so that isn't influencing applicants to marry quickly vs. waiting within the 90 day period.

Next time throw her in the next plane to Bucarest instead of just out of the house.

Antonio,

Ignore her. You might also want to write a brief, factual, and unemotional letter to ICE telling them of the situation.

And pay more attention to what you're doing next time.

Get her contact details (address, phone number, everything) and turn her in.

Correct me if I'm wrong. But while the I-134 may not be legally binding against you in regards to her, if you read the "fine print" on the form, it does provide for some liability for you as far as the US Government is concerned if she ever has to use government services because she is now poor and avails herself of the "hand-outs" that our government provides.

There is no petition to revoke...it was approved, that is why she is here.

Worry not my friend...she wasnt all tha smart. Wait until the other guy tries to keep her here....there will be no way. Once the I-94 expires she will accumulate illegal status....Hope you didnt marry her and file for AOS, etc.

Regardless of the fine print it is not legally binding hence why the I-864 came about for adjustment of status and immigrant cases which is legally binding. The I-134 is ONLY used to guage financial ability in that an applicant wont become a public charge. It is not even something required for K visa even though it is used in most cases.

From USCIS.......

Such affidavits, although helpful in judging financial ability, are not legally binding.

From a lawyers site....

Effect on the sponsor: The Affidavit of support form I-134 is not legally binding on the sponsor. This means that neither the sponsored immigrant nor the government can sue the sponsor to recover the cost of public benefits paid to the sponsored immigrant.

By EX fiance, I am assuming you never married her, which she has 90 days to do so or get out or she has an overstay on her visa. Tell her 'good luck' ever getting another visa to the USA because this incident will be noted on her file. Part of the the USCIS paperwork asks if she has ever entered the USA before, and BOOM they'll pull her prior file. Tell her to enjoy her 90 days because she'll never set foot on US soil again. Just thank your lucky stars you did not marry her!

Not to mention that she cannot adjust to any other category, or have an AOS approved based upon marriage to any other person other than the original petitioner.

wait until she finds this out....

She is going to be one very unhappy lady. Of course more than likely she will just stay in country and get a job then get amnesty when they approve the worker amnesty program.

Okay can you tell that I am a little peeved that we have to go thru hell to get our fiancee's here but anyone here illegally may get to stay no questions asked? Okay deep breath, dont go off on your political soap box here Doug.

Aussiewench-

Out of curiousity, what lawyers site was that, if you still have the link? I've been trying to explain how its not a legally binding form for my possible cosponsors, they keep writing me off thinking it means they "Have to give us money and buy us a house". I'm hoping maybe if I show them that lawyers site, they'll believe me and be more open to the idea of being my cosponsor. I'll look on the USCIS site for the same wording as well, but if you happen to know exactly where it said that it'd be helpful as well.

Thanks!
