I am torn. Don't know what to do.

I thought that my marriage was just a relationship gone bad, but recently somebody provided me with evidence that suggests otherwise. The problem is that although the evidence is 100% credible to me, it may be considered hearsay to USCIS (the evidence comes from chat logs in a different language, something that can be easily dismissed in court).

Anyway, it turns out that my now ex had planned a trip back home just after our first anniversary. It did not matter how much I begged, she refused to let me go with her (with a lame excuse). When she returned, her boyfriend sent her a picture of the two of them kissing (probably wanting that I saw it). She denied that anything happened, until I told her that I saw the photo. Then she told me that they just met by chance and she was drunk.

Till this point she is only guilty of cheating. No reason to question that she entered the marriage in good faith.

Fast-forward to the present. I am shown their conversations from before she went home. They had met while she waited for the K-1. They were together six months. She came to USA to marry me and two months before her trip (two months before our anniversary) she asked him to go with her to her city to visit her family. While they were together, she told him that he could come to the USA to be with her one year and a half later.

Why is 1.5 years so significant? It is exactly the time (this summer) she was supposed to receive her ROC. But she did not count on the delays of I-751 processing.

So, here comes my question(s):

1) Should I give her the benefit of the doubt because she was good right until her trip home?

2) Should I write a letter to USCIS so they investigate further before awarding her the permanent green card?

3) If I write, what should I say as to not appear as just another bitter ex-husband (like I said, the evidence cannot be shown to USCIS as credible)?

4) What will happen to her if she is found guilty of fraud? Just deportation or also jail/fine?

5) Should I include her boyfriend's name? Can they (USCIS) force him to declare if he is in the country (he's coming in the summer with a B-2 visa, hoping to change status to F-1 to stay with her a looooong time)?

6) Is there anything I have not considered yet (no VAWA because we don't live together anymore)?

Thanks!

P.S.: Yes! I am the one who asked how to prevent the boyfriend from entering the country, due to his clear intention to violate the terms of his B-2 visa (he did not declare his intent to become a student).

There's nothing you can do re: immigration.

Just divorce and move on. It's survivable.

Yep, TV movies are always accurate.

You might have a case for adultery (silly girl, she should have said the pic is old), but nothing more. Divorce her and move on.

The two questions were different. Two different topics, even though they are related.

First one was about a TOURIST visa case.

This new question is about ROC after divorce.

Now nobody is going to pay attention to the second topic because you decided to merge them and they will go by the first post and not the new post.

Thank you very much for the help.

Firstly, your wife can file for ROC on her own after you divorce (just FYI).

SECONDLY,

You have done everything you can.

You reported him and her, if they believe you he should flagged for further investigation.

Right now you seem angry and hurt and that is understandable, but continuing down this path of trying to follow their actions / have someone at the airport for him etc is just unhealthy.

Divorce and be content to know that you have done all the right things.

Don't let this become you or consume you, they are not worth it!

There is nothing that you can do about the other guy re: immigration. Make your decision about your own marriage and move forward.

That is my thought about her too, reason I don't want to spend the effort reporting her.

But he may be clearly misrepresenting his intentions to "visit" the USA, reason I would be grateful if he is taken to a secondary. If he passes that in his own merits while asked about his girlfriend, then good for him.

The question is: how to alert the authorities about what I know that they don't know so they can ask him directly on a secondary.

you could try to contact immigration services of your local airport.

personally, i would let it go. making it to the USA does not mean he will be happy with her. consider it a blessing. you deserve someone who loves you and is not a cheat. relationships built on betrayal always end up miserable. seems like they are of the same kind, dishonest and cheaters, so they deserve each other.
