MIA husband after conditional green card recieved

[sunlight301 0]

My cousins husband had disappeared a week after he received his conditional green card. Through the divorce process somehow recently she came to know that he is in US. Prior to this when it initially happened she came home and discovered that he was gone and took all his belongings she was very upset. She reached out to ICE and they told her that they get calls like this all the time and nothing can be done. This man was a horrible man let me tell you. He managed to crash her car, and threatened her life while she was married. Not to mentioned the money he stole from his last employer. Now this man is somewhere in the states living freely thanks to my cousin who went through alot to finally complete his paperwork to get him here. Her marriage was arranged, but he came here under false pretense. Well, she is religiously divorced as he did call and leave a message that he is going to marry the love of his life in India. As far as we know he is already married in India and now is legally staying here somewhere in the states. My cousin really wants to do something, and has been scared ever since she find out that he is here. Does she have a good case for deportation? Please anyone if you can help out with any advice as I want to reach out to her and tell her something can be done. Her ex husbands conditional green card will expire this October. On another note his family in India were in on this and planned it out too. They are awful people. Please help!!

The only thing she can do is contact USCIS and tell them she thinks he used her for a green card and give them any evidence she has. USCIS makes all decisions from there. As he already has a green card he can remove conditions on his own with a divorce waiver otherwise.

You can not do anything unless you have some evidence. If your cousin has any sms or email to prove his ill motives you can not do anything. we actually can not do much when cheated by those who we trust. so sad

She should not file a joint petition for removal of conditions of course. She can also have things stipulated in their divorce record that will make it difficult for him to renew his green card. She should end all communication with this person or anyone that discusses him with her and get on with life. Education is expensive.

Thank you I will let her know about that. That's an excellent thing she can do for the divorce record.

Is it that easy to remove conditions? The divorce is already in process and the court is preceeding with the judgement. What if she gets her divorce prior to the removal of conditions?

Thanks for your response. I am not sure if she has that the only thing she has is the voicemail telling her that he got remarried.I am not sure if she taped that.

There is nothing she can do to get him deported. She can report him to ICE. That's is all she should do.

She need to protect herself. She need to keep records to prevent him from filing by himself under the VAWA to remove the condition on his green card and claiming she abused him. She need to get a legal divorce; a religious divorce is meaningless in the US. She also need to monitor her credit report - she need to make sure that he is not opening credit accounts in her name.

Your cousin needs to protect herself. Don't worry about what happens to him. He will soon find out that he will be living in the US illegally when the condition on his green card expires. He will find out that he can't reenter the US if he leave. He will need to return to India permanently to be with his true love. He will be screwed. Your cousin does not need to worry about him, he will get what he deserved. She should concentrate primarily on protecting herself.

Once the divorce if final, he is required to remove the conditions of his residency right away. He may not know this, and USCIS does not know that he is divorced either. So as soon as the divorce is final, she should send a certified letter with the divorce decree to the USCIS and inform them that she is certain her husband has committed immigration fraud and that he is divorced now. USCIS will then take action.

+1 to this!

It might not have any affect on his ability to remove conditions. That will depend on what evidence he's got of "good faith marriage", and how much credence USCIS gives to her claims that he committed fraud. They tend to be slightly skeptical of claims that aren't substantiated with solid evidence, especially when they come from a bitter ex-spouse. On the other hand, it WILL put a fire under his backside to get his I-751 filed right away. USCIS is supposed to send a notice of intent to start removal proceedings if they discover a conditional resident has divorced. Sometimes, the main thing a fraudster needs is the time to collect their evidence. Notifying USCIS of the divorce can deny him that time.

He already has a green card. VAWA wont come in to play.

If the divorce isn't final here and he married in India already, he'll also need to be all the ball with respect to not having two wives simultaneously...Meaning, if he knows enough to final for ROC when the divorce goes through [let's just say March 1 2012] and he married the love of his life last September [9/1/11] and he doesn't catch this as an issue on his own, he may be digging his own grave with a petition for wife 2. That coupled with info from your cousin will at least keep wife #2 from getting to the US anytime soon. Not sure if that's enough info to get him accused of fraud....
