I am really sorry for what you went through, but I have some comments that I hope you Consider !

First, I agree with you that it doesn't make since that if something bad happened in the marriage you will feel this thing which is called i864 as a rope around your nick,. the solution is simple , however, always the government tries to solve a problem by causing another problem. what I mean is why do we need this form if the US government secured all the welfare systems only to the US citizen, is it their jobs to verify the legibility!

second, if the relationship with our spouse is perfect and uscis delays our paperwork , then we would complain and we will say " why the hell they made the process so hard, my wife can't work ! my wife can't travel blah blah blah" and if we went and we got approved within 5 mints we would be so happy. however, if the marriage failed then we gonna complain that uscis should knew that this person or that person is committing fraud.

let me tell you something , it's our responsibility to find the right person, it's our responsibility to make sure that this person doesn't have bad intentions , or he/she wants the marriage for the GC. you can't through any blame on uscis because you get married to person who took advantage of you !

Well... I will get nasty email on this one from a moderator of the site on this one...who care what the stats are? even one false claim getting through is to many, I read it on a web site, I grow tired of people that SAY "I was abused" under the "VAWA" system and file a false claims. LET ME MAKE ONE THING CLEAR NOT EVERY CLAIM IS FALSE, there are REAL victims of abuse on this site, and they need and deserve protection there is no doubt about that, but what is the flip side, both male and female USC are abused and taken to the cleaners in divorce court by their immigrant spouses, I got an email from a guy who lost $40,000 his entire 401K savings and he was married the same amount of time I was (1 year, she had green card 6 months) see USCIS has bypassed the Constitution by making VAWA an admin deal instead of a criminal one (under the 14th amendment we have equal protection under the law and the right to face your accuser in court) by not making it criminal, the USC is left powerless to stop an assault on his her her reputation and lives are ruined in the process, is it okay to attack someone press false charges on a person and you know what the reward is...that's right folks a ten year green card...awesome, not only after commiting perjury and consperisy to commit a crime(you mean some immigrant spouse might plan to marry a USC just for a green card...shocking!!!!!!!!!!! say it is not so:) ) There are honest people in this world and there are bad people in this world, instead why not get both the parties stories and come up with a game plan, bonafide marriage what a laugh, USCIS in my hometown is joke, most interviews are 10 min or less in my first interview, it took 10 min that was it, I was not even asked a question nor was my "wonderful ex" who used me and abused myself and family members, and that's right two counts of perjury, and child abuse and what will she get, a green card!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEA I want more of this type of person in my country, the whole system is BROKE from the top down, and will be impossible to fix. I grow tired of this, "let it go" I want to let it go, was anyone here facing jail time? or better yet what if your immiragnt spouse went to your work and their USC spouse had not abused them, and now your work is calling you asking you if you beat your spouse (that is right my company can fire me for making a bad moral decision). This whole situation with the OP and others that just seem "fishy" to me, I will not call them Liars nor will say they are guilty, but let us face it people the world is loaded with people that do bad things, so answer me this "international man of mystery" Why am I not allowed to defend myself, tell me? there is no answer because if I give any paperwork to USCIS facts or whatever I am just viewed as some bitter ex with a ax to grind. it is &^%#$ the whole system makes me sick:( there that is my rant find a solution to this stuff, why should a USC want a ex spouse in this country that behave the way some do? I mean I should be allowed to speak, and I am not, it is #######. I am just like Vanessa & Tony, Capri, SandraJ, and Gowon and other that offer sound advice, but why let go? My reputatiuon was damaged my promotion was put on hold costing me $10,000 a year raise and she is telling people that it is so funny and that who cares if I almost put his kid on the street "(*&^ (*& " Really let go of that. By the way all of you guys on this site are great, wise and I cannot begin to tell people on this site thanks for the help you have no idea some people on this site saved my life (there was a time I would come back to my home that I bought before I got married and just think about hanging myself)I mean I really loved my spouse more than my own life, there was one time my spouse was trying to blackmail me using the I864 to give her money, I was destroyed on the inside that someone I had loved was going out of her way to destroy me she was at the District attorney office texting me asking me to put money on her account (which I did), and at the same time trying to get domestic violence charges pressed on me at the same time if it was not for this site my son would not have had a father anymore. It is the first time in my life I had really trusted someone and let my guard down completely, and this person wanted to have me put in prison by commiting perjury not once but twice she mentally abused my son and he tried telling me but my wife denied it and I believed my wife over my son, I was played for a fool. these are lessons I will never forget, how do people do this to other people and think it is okay : Someone clue me in? And now to think this person will be allowed to stay in this country and then sue me on a I864 is just insane. Where is my and my son's protection's? I did not see red flags for fraud, just someone that I loved. I am sorry for this forgive me, but it is just heartbreaking what happens to USC when these kinds of things are done and there is no punishment or saction to the immigrant, just oh, he yelled at you...approved.....oh wait he sent you a mean text message ..... approved.....he called you a name...approved. Some one in the government will owe me a explination if this goes through, how do we let non citizens with bad intensions do this to other people? What is our government doing, my marriage was never real the person I fell in love with was never real but a façade, I ask myself at 46 how did I fall in love with fake? Brian

I think the OP will not have a good chance with uscis however, if she is able to provide a proof that her husband was abusive as she described, and he was not maintaining the minimum life requirement, [pictures & medical report], and her friends are willing to testify in front of the immigration judge most likely the judge will grant her PRS

USCIS => the executive branch of the government

Federal court => judicial branch [the judge is the one who interpret the law, override uscis decision!]

I sympathize the suffering you endured in the hands of your estranged spouse and congratulate you on your freedom. But what makes you confident you face no difficulty in obtaining immigration benefits? USCIS has you on record of lying to them in one-on-one interview, when you were already out of your spouse's physical reach

Many readers pointed out that you seem to pursue immigration objective more than you've ever pursued furtherance of your marital relationship. It never came to having a larger family (extending your and your husband's family tree). You've said that you'd wanted to study and work, which is commendable for a young woman. Your spouse, however, wasn't satisfied at that early point, and decided to withdraw his support of your immigration. Does someone assure you that you can demonstrate bona-fide marriage in respect to USCIS yardstick?

It appears that since her AOS was denied she has friends who are willing to write affidavits that they know of her marriage and that it was bonefide. This will not be enough, she will need to provide proof of cohabitation and financial mingling. Joint accounts, joint taxes, leases, insurance policies, or the such. USCIS places little regard on just affidavits of friends.

as i was saying that for filing a self petition for my self is nothing to do with my husband since he was telling there that we have divorce already but i still have some paper works from court and immigration attorney was helping me too and explain things what i need to do or what else do i need as i say that i am still working to it with the help of people here in my area where i been living now. i was saying already that i have gathered some information about me and my husband that only friends that been helping of me prepare my marriage before with him. so i couldnt say anything yet about my process to green card or filing my self because we do still working to it. i am trying my best too to be strong and not just a weak woman whatever people say its ok to me because its normal but the more say nothings gonna happen or my situation is difficult ill tell you what the difficult is when i live with traumas of what happen when i was with my husband and i want to clarify and prove to him that if i was just using him for papers why would i stay to him for long time without anything with me any id except my passport because i am not thinking about it i was just so trusting him so much and i was so inlove with him that i didnt realize that my love to him will replace by fear to him get panic scared and depression if i dont leave him maybe i am not alive now you people couldnt really understand the whole truth but i am not moving on yet for what happen to me in his hands i was having a heart attack and he was there i couldnt say anything clearly because of having my heart difficult breath and almost stop and i ask him help and he just sit in front of me and says dont worry honey ill call 911 when your not breathing anymore. so am i the bad wife when all i did is do what he wants me too if i was just using him to go here why i would wait for 2 years before open my eyes and say i couldnt take it anymore i leave him without asking him anything i wasnt scared no more because i still want to experience a life outside along with normal people. sorry so emotional i am still want to moving on with what happen on me when i was with my husband thats why they help me to talk even more and open and dont be shy no more kind of advice that i wasnt alone. yes thats right if you lock up in the basement for 2months without good food or enough food to eat and the place is so dark and full of trash and dusty place do you think you would love to stay without seeing any sun lights outside if i dont love my husband so much why would i stay to him and hoping that he would change the way he treat me because i believe my marriage to him that i need to understand him because he is my husband but he is to much and i dont want to end up dying to his place. yes thats right people i dont know about papers nor laws or anything here all i want is to live for my self and for my family and trying to moving on i am not asking anything to my husband i didnt even do anything bad to him i didnt even argue with him when his yell and swear at me calling me names nothin i didnt do that to him all i did is just do my things and love him as a wife. i am sorry people i couldnt say anything about my papers rightnow we still working on it and if i approve or not its fine at least i tried on my own and try to open up to other people. i dont care about any properties he has if i have name or it or not rightnow i was only think is to prove to him that i dont want him to say that i was using him. godbless.

The problem here is you are going to have to file under VAWA. This means you must have proof of a real marriage, concrete things, not just friends saying we know they lived together. You need copies of bills with both your names, a lease with both your names, insurance, some kind of papers showing the two of you were living together as husband and wife.

To compound the problem you have already lied to immigration about your marital status. You are going to need something more than just statements from friends to prove you had a real marriage.

yup they tell me those already here they explain it to me i maybe dont have any bills or joint accounts or insurance that has his name on it because he knows all about it thats why he tried to keep it away from me but i still have paper work that i got that says his name and my name that was mailed to his place when we still been together and about lying in immigration i have replied them already before and now we have gathered some information too about me and my husband not just a friends but some paper work too that we been living together like when his filing my papers to bring me here and when i was here already i have those because my family sent it to me and i did have some pictures when i got married to him because i sent it to my family and they send it back to me and i was legal to come over here and i dont have any criminal records or everything except my husband has a records that he is been jail by hitting his ex wife and some people that he had fights with in court

That's good: there is little doubt you can prove abuse. Your problem is proving genuine marriage. What you mention points more to an arrangement, which included your immigration, than to a genuine marriage. You underscore your husband's numerous faults, including previous violent marriage, sponsorship and withdrawal, and his potential next trip to your homeland in search of the next one (earlier in the topic). These are the kinds of things that USCIS has to watch out for, when measuring a bona-fide marriage, on behalf of both of you. You seem to dwell on marriage documents alone, but USCIS wants to see the genuine life beyond the marriage papers, the love you shared, the trust in all regular chores. Not "I asked him to come to the interview" and he forced...Think

Sorry, but I'm not buying this story. Here's why...

A young, naive woman from a poor country meets this American through her pastor and instantly falls madly in love with him. Presumably, he is much older than her, and promises her the world, and she decides to leave her life and family behind to move to the US. She admitted that she wasn't aware of how much paperwork was needed to become legal (green card). She (and possibly her family) figured that she could move here with some old guy and become legal quickly. She wanted a green card and he wanted a live-in servant and sex slave who he could control fully. When it didn't go as planned, he refused to follow through with the adjustment of status process and she started to panic. Notice, with her being young, naive, and not having any family or friends here, the normal first instinct would be go back to her home country to be with family and friends. But her first reaction is how can I adjust by myself, going as far as lying to CIS to try and get a green card. And now she got caught in a lie and now is scrambling to file a WAVA case (which are 95% fraud cases IMO) to be able to stay. But she did give us a reason for not wanting to go back. Her family's house was destroyed in a storm? So where is her family living if there's no house?

I have seen these type of stories from women in Central and South America too. Or maybe I'm just a cynic.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU, REDICULOUS

hello everyone remember me about my having difficult about my topic here that green card denial and marriage problem GOD is so GOOD because i finally have protection for 2 years from the court that my husband couldnt get near nor contact my friends or me and i am so happy with that because i no longer scared or fear to him, and the second news is my filing for green card is way easier because even though my friends are scared to stand up for me or witness for me GOD didnt make it difficult for me i have now people who been helping me to make strong and believe that i can do this. to clarify and prof that my marriage is true and they been telling me that my case is not that difficult because there is no saying that i would go to court and face to face with my husband and explain everything. its just the good thing is i did replied to them before 30 days end and my status in my green card is not close which is good so still process they said so i just need to send them nextweek soon the all paper work i have gathered to prove that my marriage to a us citizen is true. oh i am just so happy sorry for late update here godbless everyone all my paper work is doing well so far because GOD did hear all my prayers thanks to his people he sent for to look after me:)

IM VERY VERY HAPPY FOR YOU.. GOD IS FAITHFULL
