green card deny

[Darnell 8,479]

please understand the difference between:

1. getting a green card , adjusting status from a K-1 visa after marriage

versus

2. filing a VAWA case, documenting the abuse.

The two things are different.

That's it, for now. This denial (and rebuttal process) won't be useful to you, as you have no bonafides of the marriage.

OTOH, you have a ton of abuse, so document the abuse. Write. Write a lot. Get a friend to edit it for you. File a VAWA claim. Your 'husband' is a wack-job.

[Sandra G. 5,057]

If she doesn't have proof of bonafide marriage then the Vawa will be denied because the individual must prove domestic violence and bonafide marriage as well.

yes i do understand clearly about the adjust status from k1 visa to marriage and have a green card, i have a copy of a marriage certificate because my husband has the original so i go to court and got a copy of it and my problem is all who attend the wedding is his family only his parents,his brother and the wife of his brother also their kids and my husband friend who is in jail now. that friend of my husband is the one whos been always with us but that is my husband side so its hard for me to ask him a help he knows the truth though. and some of filipina friend of mine who knows my marriage but they only came to the reception well shes the only one who give me a wedding dress to wear she bought it for me since my husband is too busy workin and only come home at night or whenever i have friend visit he gets mad when someone visited me. i have 3 woman who visited me always and meet my husband they knows what my husband attitude is thats why they are little bit scared too because they dont want my husband plan to kidnap their kids or killed them thats what they think.

you sound very sincere, but there are 2 sides to every story.

if you only came here to be with your husband, since your marriage didn't work wouldn't you have naturally have went back to your own country?

the fact that you want to stay here, indicates you probably married him for immigration benefits.

which is apparently what your husband believes because he went to immigration and withdraw his affidavit of support.

apparently it is what immigration believes as well since they denied you a permanent resident card as well.

sorry to be so skeptical, but you have to realize how many people are abusing the fiance visa and VAWA to gain legal residence in the country.

that's what an immigration official sees as well. an immigration officials works around 16 cases a day, and fiance visa fraud cases come up on a daily basis.

they obviously see through these fake abuse cases simply because of their sheer volume of them.

you seem very sincere, but there are many women who are simply looking for a loophole to get a path to citizenship.

it's easy to live her illegally, immigration does not go after illegals.

but a legitimate path to citizenship is not as easy as many immmigrants to this country find out once they dump their sponsor and try to get a path on their own.

i was 17 years old when we first met and he is my very first man of my life i didnt even think to come here in us if he didnt promise to take care of me and love me as a princes and some other sweet words he been telling he knows my age that i am still young that time he says he dont care because he love me so i chose him to be my fiancee. i wouldnt want to come here in us if i dont love him that much i wouldnt choose to be far away at my family in such a young age if i wasnt true to him. i wouldnt argue with my family and fights my love just to be with my husband back there he is very kind very sweet to me and respect me so much i never heard him argue with me get mad at me or angry with me we have listen to each other like or whats good to do we talk about it but since i came here his been swearing with me in front of other people and telling to others that i wasnt good enough to sex with him i feel emba. when other people says to me specially my friend telling me that your husband says you are not good having sex with him always when he wants too. and when i ask him if its true he will say i told you not to listen or to trust any other people nor friends with them. they are bad influence thats why now i am so innocent and dont know a bout laws or anything because of my husband doesnt want me to know or listen. he fights with me when i ask something that i dont really know about. am i really that bad wife to him i did everything to make him happy i dont care about his properties or other from his name i only wants a respect from him as his wife i waited 2 years hoping that maybe he will have time for me or to listen my feelings just once but no till he fights and fights with me all i did is cry and cry and very scared and thinking where is the person i have loved before and believe that he would love me and taking care of me.

i wasnt ask anything to my husband nor bother him to anything if i was just have work and have enough to pay to work on my paper work when i was with him i could even do it by my self if it is allowed. i need to know why he think that im just using him for what i dont know about paper work yes all i was thinking was him to be with him i did mistake to lie at the interview yeah but ididnt mean to. if i was just using him he wouldnt ask me to get back to him and tells all the drama just to get back to him,and now he was doing everything to make me suffer more but i am not thinking to beg a help from him i want to prove to him that i wasnt here because of any paper work just to stay here in us. plus i want a respect from that man whos been ruined my life to all his fake sweet words and making me believe that he is true and really cares about me.

i maybe dont have a chance to win my case or about my situation with my marriage life but at least i tried to fight my rights as his wife

[erynaught 43]

The OP admittedly lied to USCIS, presumably to secure an immigration benefit.

Why would USCIS believe her to be telling the truth with VAWA?

I see you're in Minnesota, here's a link for free and low cost lawyers.

http://www.lawmoose.com/index.cfm?Action=library.&Topic=MN38

You may be past do it yourself, but you need to move forward on a VAWA application if you're going to find a way to stay legally. You probably need legal help before this is done to. As you're in Minnesota, you should contact the Immigrant Law Center and see if they can give you some help. USCIS is not there to help you or get you a lawyer. They're there to process your application and accept or reject it. They will not offer advice, they will not give you a lawyer. Doesn't matter if you deserve or need a lawyer or not, its just not what they do. Now start gathering any evidence you can. Write out whats gone on and the abuse you've suffered. Get affidavits from anyone who knows about your marriage and your situation, and get that VAWA filed.

i forgot to tell that i am now 3 years here in us without anything but passport only. all my papers from my hometown that i bring till got here my husband keep it all and he just give me a copy of marriage license because he was telling that we are married already so no more problems of any paper work. we still not divorce now in 2013

It seems that you have enough suggestions as to what to do in order to remain in the US, but one thing that was not said is that if you have no family, money or reason to stay in this country you can also leave and go back home. I do not mean it in a ill-spirited manner, but as an option pure and simple. I hope you don't take it the wrong way.

Good luck whatever your course of action!
