Responsibility to expired K1 visa holder (ex-fiance)

[christeen 966]

Absolutley, they were at some point schooled to use the Violence Against Womans Act... so if thats

the case thats between him and the government of the USA. But, your not doing anything ilegal,

you did your part. Relationships fail, the law states that if you don't get married within 90 days

the beneficiary has to leave the country. He probably don't have any means to buy a ticket rather

than you, so as I have said earlier, go buy him a ticket and put him on the plane. If you make

that attempt, you did your part over and above the requirements of the law...If he beccomes a

public charge it would be because it was done in his part, not yours. I would not harbor a known

violator of immigration laws.. Because, your aiding and abbeding, and you will ruin your chances

of ever going through the Visa process in the future, if you would decide to venture in an

overseas partner.. good luck..

She is not aiding and abbeding anyone... He is not living in her home nor is she giving him financial support. They are not married, so there is no 864 in play thus no financial or legal obligation. He came over on an i94 non immigrant K1 and did not fulfill the requirements of that visa and get married so it is HE who is our if status on HIS visa. To fulfill her legal obligation she should do due diligence and let him know that he is required to leave and should leave, she can call and report to ICE that he has not left and did not fulfill his obligation as the holder of a K1 visa (although as others have said, I doubt they will do anything) and morally, I would offer to cover the cost of his plane ticket home. He is an adult so she can on FORCE him to physically leave. To the OP, you have no further financial or legal obligations, so sorry this did not work out. Be cautious about being alone with him for Abuse claims (although it will be a difficult sell since you were never married) but stay strong and move forward.

Thanks all. Ironically he is sick with chest pain today. I (and he) understands that he is illegal now and will get return to US bans if he ever leaves and also that his chances of finding a new partner/getting a different visa are slim to none. REgardless, his choice is to carry on here illegally along with the other 2 million folks and work illegally to help support his family at home. Which I can understand as I've lived with them and know the quality of life there.

If I write a letter to USCIS cancelling the petition (although I'm assuming it's void anyway since we didn't marry w/in the 90 days), will "they" come find and deport him? That's my only concern in doing this. And there is some language in I-134 about making sure the nonimmigrant leaves...

Thanks!

I wouldn't worry about him, keep your focus on you. Things may hurt right now but its better than being in something loveless. I wouldn't pay his insurance or worry that he has chest pain and there really is no real reason to speak to him anymore right? the 90 days has come and gone....... the boat sailed without you two, you couldn't even if you wanted to legally at this point so I would break ties NOT pay for his anything and move on. I do not think you can be in trouble for anything at all.
