Unfortunately, all you can really do is to send a letter to the USCIS of your suspicisons, and that she is asking for a divorce, but beyond that, no. If she used you for 2 years, and fooled you for that long, they might consider that your marriage lasted long enough to make them believe that she had good intentions. There are non-immigrant marriages here, unfortunately, that last less time. I'm sorry you're in this situation. It can't be easy for you at all. I wish there were better information out here for you.

I just found out, her sister did the same thing.

I'm so sorry. Sounds like a bad case of culture shock that really got to her. Is she saying she wants to go back home? Or stay here on the green card you helped her get? Unfortunately, sometimes this happens. My best friend Manu is from Germany, I met her there, and she married an American soldier. They had 2 children together, and were living happily in Germany together before he was stationed back here. Even being from Europe, the culture shock coming here was hard for her. She never wanted to leave, though, and is happy here now. I guess coming from somewhere like Cambodia it was probably much worse for her. I really hope you can either work things out or figure out a solution.

She and i filed papers already for a divorce. Her sister end up staying here in the usa.

She says she is going back to Cambodia. To behonest I don't want a way to come back to usa.

She really hurted me. I want to report her to the American Embassy and INS.

I'm so sorry your marriage is ending. It is always sad to hear about these things happening, especially when you worked so hard and overcame so many obstacles just to be together.

From what you've said here, She moved to the US, married you, lived here with you as a married couple for almost a year, and now she says she doesn't like the US and wants to go back home? Unfortunate, but not very unusual or unique. How can you be so sure she only married you for a GC? Did she say that? Because to me, an outsider, it doesn't really sound like immigration fraud, it sounds like a marriage that didn't work out, partially due to a cultural difference that was too difficult to overcome.

She told me that she didn't love me at all. She got married because she listen to her folks.

If she goes back to Cambodia before her green card expires, that is it. End of story. Doesn't sound like she used you for a green card if she is going back to Cambodia.

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

If she goes back to Cambodia before her green card expires, that is it. End of story. Doesn't sound like she used you for a green card if she is going back to Cambodia.

Not it's not "end of story". If she goes back to Cambodia before her card expires she can still come back. She can still apply for ROC on her own, depends how long she stays away from the US for of course.
