Can you be deported after receiving 10 year of GC on abandonment of American Citizen?

[klm9971 5]

I have a friend who got his 10 year GC with his American Citizen wife. After 2 months he got his card, things went haywire and he went to jail for domestic violence. But the case was dropped in the court. Now, he left his wife after that incident and planning to get a divorce from her asap.

He is not at all having any communication with her at all sorts. Now his wife is telling him that he might get deported in case of abandonment?

My question is: Is this really true? Or this can happen? He is just afraid of the tantrums from his wife gonna put on him. That is the reason he dont want to do anything with her.

What should he do? Please any advise!

Has he removed his conditions? Nothing she can do, but divorce.

Only advice I can give him is to stick with his guns. Do the divorce and stay away from her even if it means going back to old country but I don't think he will.

She cannot get him deported. There actually nothing she can do. He can divorce her and move on with his life. I only foresee issues when he files for citizenship since it was only 2 months after he received the 10 yr card and problems started. But ofcourse he can always explain what happened to the immigration officer.

Always two sides to the story that paints a completely different picture. But as far as he is concerned, can get a divorce, be a good boy, and meet the residency requirements.

Tend to feel more sorry for the wife, she is struck with that crazy I-864, that isn't fair at all. He can become a complete bum, and sue her for 125% for payments above the poverty level. Well at least, she can counter sue for alimony payments with no limits on those.

You're all over the road.

If he becomes a complete bum, how is she going to collect alimony? And there are limits to alimony also.

No self respecting person should leave off of the sweat of another when the relationship is over ether via alimony or I-864.
