VisaJourney.com recommends that if any member or user knows directly of someone involved in fraudulent or illegal activity, that they report such activity directly to the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement. You can contact ICE via email at Immigration.Reply@dhs.gov or you can telephone ICE at 1-866-347-2423.

Report him for immigration fraud if you truly believe he used you only for a green card. From what you explain it does sound like he used you for the card and has now off and left you.

Hi everybody,this is my problem,my husband came on a k1 visa in oct of 2010 we got marry in nov of 2010 file for his change of status he got his two years of green card in may and left in april. my husband left because of some little argument we had.all the time we had argument he did not leave,but as soon he received his green card in april he left in may so i just think he marry me for the green card.he is in ohio i just want there two days ago to see if we could work on the marriage,he refuse to see me or talked to me.i know this is not right he only wanted to get his green card in his hand.my question is can i report this to immigration?if so what proof will they need?pls help thank's.

I honestly don't know the answer to your question but feel for you.

Your post does not indicate Domestic Violence.

He Lawfully entered the US to Marry. The AOS is already completed. (Is the AOS Completed ?) That would change everything.

Wait for other replies.

You can contact ICE via email at Immigration.Reply@dhs.gov or you can telephone ICE at 1-866-347-2423. ICE is who you contact to report marriage fraud.

From what you said it sounds like your husband only has a 2 year temporary Green Card. He would need to apply for a 10 year Green Card whthin 90 days of the current 2 year Green Cards expiration date. If you report him for marriage fraud he might have difficulty explaining to immigration why he should be able to get a permanent 10 year Green Card since you are his sponsor and he left you.

You might also want to notify USCIS that you want to revoke your Affidavit of Support and file for annullment instead of divorce. An annullment is hard to get sometimes, but would also make it more difficult for him to get his 10 year Green Card.

Of course I would only do these things if you are absolutey sure that things will not work out.

Best of luck to you!!!

The affidavit of support can't be withdrawn once the green card has been issued.

My advice would be:

1. Call ICE and tell them whatever you know.

2. File for a divorce ASAP.

3. Move, or change the locks on the house/apartment. Get a restraining order to prevent him from returning. If you move be sure to notify USCIS of your new address, as required by the affidavit of support.

4. Put his personal property in storage, but do not give him access to any common documents from the marriage - joint account statements, lease, etc. He'll need these to prove he entered the marriage in good faith. If he comes for his personal property then give it to him.

5. When the divorce is final then send a copy of the divorce decree, along with a cover letter providing his name and A#, to USCIS. They'll send him a notice of intent to start removal proceedings unless he immediately files an I-751 to remove the conditions on his green card. If you receive this letter then it means he never filed a change of address with USCIS. Send the letter back to USCIS marked "Not at this address".

Hopefully, he hasn't collected the evidence he'll need to remove conditions on his own, and hasn't notified USCIS that he's moved. In that event, his conditional green card will likely be terminated. Unfortunately, our President has decided to rule by decree, and he's ordered ICE to suspend removal proceedings for anyone except convicted criminals. This means he probably won't be deported. You can expect that order to be lifted after the next election, either by the current President (he won't need Hispanic votes anymore) or by his replacement.

thank's so much but i was told that if i file for divorce,uscis will give him his 10 years of green card.is that true?

You were told wrong.

He must file an I-751 in order to get a 10 year green card. The requirement is that he file this form jointly with you within 90 days before the expiration of his conditional green card. If he doesn't then his green card will automatically expire.

He can ask for a waiver of the joint filing requirement, and file the I-751 on his own. There are four types of waivers he could ask for.

1. He entered the marriage in good faith, but his US citizen spouse has died.

2. He entered the marriage in good faith, but the marriage ended due to divorce or annulment.

3. He entered the marriage in good faith, but he was abused by his US citizen spouse.

4. The termination of his status would result in extreme hardship.

Notice that the only one of these waivers that doesn't require proof that he entered the marriage in good faith is the hardship waiver. It's also the most difficult sort of waiver to get. The hardship would have to be due to circumstances that occurred after he immigrated to the US; e.g., he's got a serious medical condition that could only be treated in the US, or all hell has broken loose in his home country and he'd almost certainly be killed if he returned, etc. The hardship waiver isn't going to happen, so don't even worry about it.

All of the other waivers require proof that he entered the marriage in good faith. The death waiver also requires a death certificate. The divorce waiver also requires a divorce decree. The abuse waiver (also called VAWA, so called because of the Violence Against Women Act) also requires proof of the abuse.

If he intends to try for the divorce waiver then he doesn't have to wait for you to file for the divorce. He could file himself. However, if you file and obtain the divorce, and then notify USCIS of the divorce, they are compelled to terminate his status if he doesn't immediately file an I-751. You would essentially be pulling the rug out from under him, and forcing him to act in order to save his status. If he doesn't have the evidence to prove he entered the marriage in good faith then he's going to lose his green card.

So sorry to hear this.. today is my first day on visajourney as a member. I truly hope things can get resolved between you and your husband. Hopefully you will be able to communicate which is key in any relationship. Can't even begin to tell you how hope all turns out better for you. I have only begun the process and know it is alot involved, time, money, effort, etc. and since you have reached this stage you have traveled a lot farther on the journey than I have. The best to you. I sent an email prior to reading this asking some information about the process, but will totally understand if you are unable to respond because you have a lot on you right now. Hope to see later on in one of your post that things have worked out for you

No USCIS won't contact you at all. You need to do EVERYTHING listed in Jim's advice. You need to protect yourself.
