also submitted statement to VOIF for senate oversight hearing on K-1. It's now part of record and they are still taking actions there. A lot of the stuff we can't say in public, because of the adverse groups trying to fight against victims of fraud.

Well I thought I would start this topic it is something new and I want to tell folks there is are several different way to report fraud to USCIS. In my long road over the past several months I have some information I wanted to pass on.

If the USC spouse thinks they are a victim of marriage fraud or their immigrant spouse entered into a shame marriage for the sole purpose of gaining immigration benefits. Please make a info pass appointment, when you arrive ask to speak to the on duty FDNS officer.

FDNS.......Fraud Detection & National Security Directorate. This is the Department within USCIS that will investigate individual marriage fraud/ visa fraud cases/ false VAWA claims.

(...)

Also do not call back and ask for a update according to the Privacy Act of 1974 they are not allowed to discuss your ex spouses case with you, her green card is not between you, her and the government it is between her and the government, it is the immigrant's green card.

A bad or rough marriage that is terminated does not mean you are a victim of fraud, it means there was a bad marriage, USC's please ALWAYS think, your spouse is under a horrible amount of strain, make new friends, no family, maybe lost expectations, twisted thinking, and to top it all off you are fighting with the person you depend on for support, PLEASE I ask all USC's if your marriage is in trouble or a divorce is filed please, get to a marriage consular ASAP. (if they will go) (even if your spouse is cheating the marriage can still be saved in my thoughts).

(...)

I hope this is helpful to people:)

Even if just for the bump  but thousand times this^^

I have a very similar situatation.

First thing I did, I made the Info Pass and gave them all evidence (chats, him, his family, his women) saying he married me for papers only and he has other kids, I didn't know about them. I asked for to talk to the Fraud Officer and we talked, my documents as a prove were accepted.

Second, I applied for the Marriage ANNULMENT by Fraud attaching the same proves, chat's printing and my letter about it, the Fraud was based on him saying he married me for papers and it is not a valid marriage for him and he didn't tell me about having 2 other kids and living with other women, he told me he is a single father with 1 kid.

 

The judge gave me the Annulment by Fraud, which is good for me because it is like this marriage never existed, it doesn't make me share my property with him, I got my Military benefits back under the fact this marriage was annuled and also if he wants to marry an American again, he will need the divorce decree but he only can get the Annulment decree by Fraud, which probably won't let him to adjust his status with another marriage.

I agree a written confession makes all the difference.

You were very prepared, and therefore one of the fortunate ones.

I wasn't, at all, I didn't know anything, I was lucky he left before the AP came and when he left and all the information started to show up, his women talking to me, I was very hurt and confused but decided to do what needs to be done, researching, learning and telling to myself to try to do it the best way, not leaving myself on the hook for community property, married for long and him not willing to sign the divorce, I was trying to figure it out how to do well and get the divorce or better the annulment and it did work.

 

But I was very lucky he left after hitting me, breaking the door and his 2 women ordering him to be back to his children. I was lucky he left yet I wasn't prepared at all.

This is what I mean by preparation.  Whether you did it in advance or reactively, you did it.
