Hi, I am a victim of marriage fraud for the green card. The guy scammed me. He had a girlfriend the whole time in his home country and now he wants to bring her here as we are divorced. He threatened me from day 1 as I didn't want to marry because I wasn't ready and he was here on a tourist visa, but he made me feel responsible saying you brought me here, you are responsible for me, you better marry me. I was scared and I also loved him, so I did it.......He treated me horribly the whole time and after he got the conditional green card he cheated on me 1 month after that. I was so stupid not to see the signs before but I was 21 and in love, so.....and I wanted an annulment but again he threatened me saying he will make me pay for it if I try to annu, instead I had to divorce him and wait almost a year when it was convenient for him and for his papers but we divorced before the 2 years were up.......................I was so stupid and scared..

Anyways I have gathered enough strength to report him to immigration when I found out he is bringing his fiancee here, but he doesn't even have the permanent green card yet. He is applying to remove conditions with the waiver, i-751 waiver. I reported him to the full extent, supplying some evidence too like phone records of numbers of the women he texted, facebook page saying that he is engaged to another woman now and just a detailed letter explaining everything. I also sent a letter from my psychologist. He got engaged to the other woman before our divorce was final in is home country and she is there now waiting to come here.

He has caused me so much pain and suffering to the point where I had to take antidepressants, go to therapy, etc. I have physical symptoms like chest pain and I think about it every day. He scammed me out of my money as well as my family and guess what, he still denies that he used me lol. He is a class A criminal in my opinion. He also plans to bring his whole family here once he gets his final papers. By the way, the report made it into his file, I spoke to an immigration officer who said that she is working on the case. He has just applied now to remove conditions. All along he was gathering evidence of our marriage like pictures, documents, bills, etc so he can prove that the marriage was real with that but he doesn't have income tax returns because we were together less than a year. So do you think he will get his green card in spite of me reporting him for marriage fraud???

If you have proof of what you state. make copies ( emails, text , police reports whatever) makes copies, Send one to ICE , take one to an infopass appointment and ask to speak to the head of the fraud prevention group. Make sure to include contact info but do not expect to hear from them as it is his petition and you have no right to know what is going on. Then put this evidence in a box in the back corner of the closet labeled burn jan-1-2016

then move on

This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.

SOLID proof, that's Y USCIS put ppl thru the motions and they complain (USC)

ice picked him up the 1st time he treated U bad or *threatened* u . save yourself

more heartaches, because he can now decide to not work & its on u, and have the new

woman work to support herself.....Sorry my dear lady, Forget him

Why would you marry anyone who threatens you? this was a massive red flag from the word go. I am sorry for your pain but at this point if he has removed conditions you can send your information into the FDNS office at your local USCIS office. Even for me and I disagree most of the time with Peter_Pan. You have waited WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY to late. You know you never know what a Immigration Officer will say at a interview that is why each case is different, submit your proof and it needs to be solid proof, do not waste your time with ICE, ICE does not conduct any investigation that deals with small scale fraud FDNS does, please read my post on how to report fraud to USCIS and follow those steps. If he already engaged this would be a red flag to USCIS and you need to print screen shots of this and hand over to USCIS. Most say it is to late, it is really never to late, if the immigrant committed marriage fraud for the sole purpose to gain a green card this should be reported and the information will be put in the file as long as you have his A Number. OP, you have to know there is fraud all over the immigrations system, there is nothing you OR USCIS can do for every scam uncovered there are 5 more new scams that have never been heard of. Fraud is like a dam that is leaking, you use your fingers and then you plug the holes with your lips, you have to understand it is IMMPOSSIBLE to catch everyone. A rant letter from you about how you have been lied to will not work with USCIS. SO I will tell you what the FDNS officer told me after our third and final meeting

"there is fraud all over the system, we know this and are trying to stop it the best way we can, there is fraud in VAWA and in U visas, you will find that, you have turned over evidence that I will personally make sure it goes in her file, BUT I want you to do me a favor, I want you to go and live your life, be the best person you can be, whatever this person has done has been reported and I want you to live your life, and have a healthy, happy life"

OP...Please do not allow what someone has done to you allow you to become a different person, we are all damaged goods, we are all different from what happens when a person is used in such a manner. You are older, you are wiser, and I encourage you to report what you know, and then go and live your life, be a better smarter person, look around you there will be people that are by your side on this, and most of all have a happy and joy filled life.

And also being a victim of fraud is not easy to accept, but you have to realize that and sometimes it is hard to accept we loved and were scammed. Sorry for your broken heart.

I don.t understand either, scammers have the concept in their mind that once married to a USC, they have every right to get a green card..! Just look at my friend's case. Her going to be ex is trying every effort with his immigration lawyer to get a green card. At first he wanted to go for the VAwa route but so unfortunately for him, he convicted domestic violence. We are guessing that he is going to the U route because he has been using my friend's health insurance where he went for psychiatric to build a case. We have reported him to fraud dept and ICE for fraud marriage and conviction of domestic violence. So never submit an AOS until you are very sure the relationship is genuine. Too many fraud out there.

It amazes me that a petitioner CANNOT sue a beneficary who has clearly commited fraud.

Wasn't there a case about a month ago where the woman sued her fiance for breech of marital contact because he did not want to get married. She won the case.
