Please help please help!! Sudden turn around in the spouses behaviour after receving the green card

[kapad 2]

Dear VJers

One of my friend who was previously divorced got engaged to a girl from India and brought her to USA with her son on K1 visa.

Then he filed for her Green card along with her son.

Last week she received her Green card and then in less then 12 hours the girl called 911 and informed that she was harreshed s..ually and then asked for protection against her hubby(my friend). Now my friend is swearing to God that he has done nothing wrong. But at present he is out of his house since the order that he cannot be in the same place as her wife for next several days.

So this lady who comes here in less then 4 months has complete possession of my friends home and property/documents/money.

My friend is completely in tears and with little to no legal help.

He then called his ex wife who was courteous enough to say that she is willing to come to testify that she has lived with my friend for the past 11 years before their divorce and she knows that this friend of mine is not a person like that.

What is the best steps that my friend should take and how can he help himself????

Please help.

Thx

It sounds like your friend needs to consult a family law attorney.

[Brother Hesekiel 2,236]

If your friend is telling the truth and his wife's story is made up entirely (which is something neither of us can really know), then he imported a scam artist from abroad who knows exactly what she is doing and how to do it. A way to avoid this is to get to know a potential spouse as thoroughly as possible before chilling out a lot of cash, proposing and signing the Affidavit of Support and the Marriage Certificate.

At this point his wife has a case for VAWA, which would allow her to remove the conditions of her residency without your friend's consent and help, and she also would be eligible for the expressway N-400, being a victim and all. If she hires an attorney, your friend will pay for that as well.

Time to reflect on the Affidavit of Support and the up-and-coming spousal support. If I may be frank, I admittedly have limited compassion for your friend, as this is a self-inflicted wound, gained by being extremely naive and careless. Worse yet, it's not only your friend who has to live with the consequences, but We The People as well.

Given the apparently systematic actions of his wife, I'd suggest an experienced and competent divorce attorney who ideally should confer with an immigration attorney in search of ways to document the presumed immigration fraud. There's little chance that they'll find a usable trace, but it's worth looking for it anyway.
