Can i-751 waiver (divorce) be approved if the person (applicant) cheated on wife 6 months after marriage?

[aishabay 2]

Is it likely that he will get his permanent green card?

My "ex-husband" used me for the green card. He actually blackmailed me into marriage but I also loved him. I married out of fear and love. He was cheating 6 months after marriage and I found out he had a gf in his country and now is engaged to her and wants to bring her here. He treated me terribly the whole time. I tried to get an annulment but he threatened me against it and made me get a divorce instead and made me wait 6 more months. We divorced before the 2 year period.

He came here on a tourist visa and we married 3 months after dating. I reported everything to immigration. He was never into me, wasn't affectionate to me, never told me he loved me, etc. I was just stupid to see it. He was collecting the evidence and he has joint bank account (only his name added to mine, no joint activity), lease that we lived with my mom, photos, no joint taxes and 2 bills in our name.

Is it likely that he will get it? He is applying with a divorce waiver. Is that easy to get?

Chances are he will get his permanent greencard. You are getting a divorce and getting rid of him. Move on with your life. Be happy with someone who really love you and forget the lowlife.

That's certainly one opinion.

Here's another.

Write up what you've covered here, include his A#, and drop it off with an FDNS officer at the local USCIS office, getting in on an INFOPASS appointment. Talk with that FDNS officer, go over all, and IF the FDNS officer warrants there was fraud, then a record of this will get into his A-File.

When he applies for ROC, the A-File is reviewed. A finding of fraud from a FDNS officer trumps most stuff, his ROC case will be denied.

No, it's not something quick that you can do, but if you get started on it today, you can get an InfoPass Appointment for next wee - see https://infopass.uscis.gov for the appointment system.

If he gets the green card even though this fraud is so OBVIOUS then there are no laws in america...and im moving out.

To "wuhan rocks"---thanks for your comment, I did that and spoke to an officer, she put it in his file and said that he will be questioned at the ROC interview....Of course he will come up with many lies just like he lied to me, so I hope immigration officials are not as dumb as I was...

If his fraud is so OBVIOUS, then why did you marry him?

The point is not to attack you, but nothing is obvious when it comes to human relationships.

How will an independent third party know which of you is lying? How will it be obvious that he is lying and not you?

What if he claims you are a bitter ex-wife with a fatal attraction?

[SusieQQQ 11,587]

I'm curious. If he does get a permanent green card and then files for his new fiancée, as OP has said is his plan, will his file be reviewed again? I mean, he will have to show proof of relationship with her right.. If that overlaps with the marriage and proves OP right they could still revoke his green card then, if USCIS put two and two together?

[Darnell 8,479]

yup - and since the comments from the petitioner are in the A-File,

that A-File will be reviewed again when he files a new petition. If he still has any status in the USA, that is.

I am sorry but I was really dumb, young and in love. I was 21. I could not fathom or even wrap my little head around the fact that he could be using me for a green card. I mean WHO in their right mind PRETENDS to "like" someone or LIVES with someone just so they can get a piece of paper. That concept just didn't reach me.

I mean, I should have known the moment he blackmailed me into marriage, that should have been a red flag, but I was stupid and in love.

He blackmailed me because he came here on a tourist visa with the INTENT to marry me as we were talking about it BUT when he came here I changed my mind because he wasn't a very nice person, and he said IF you don't marry me like you said you would, I will report you for "conspiracy" to marry me on a visitor's visa, which is potential visa fraud. I was soo scared and I married him. I was so stupid though.

What is done is done and you can't change the past. You can only change the future. Don't let that episode define who you are, and move on with your life. As you grow older you will realize that no one can have that much power over you, and you will never allow anyone to control you in that manner again. Lesson learned.

Get the divorce, rid yourself of that person and get a fresh start. You have your entire life ahead of you.

We have all been there when we were 21. No shame in being naive and trusting at that age.

You do not need to explain yourself.

I did a poor job of explaining how a third party may view your situation.

Unless you have hard evidence of his deceit, all you have is "he said & she said." In a "he said she said" situation, it's not obvious who did what.

well, she lobbed a pile with the FDNS officer, earlier - did ya read that?

[Virtuous45 31]

Why did the OP open two separate discussion on the same issue in two separate Threads? http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/485663-marriage-on-tourist-visa-could-us-citizen-be-responsibleguilty-marriage-fraud/

[aaron2020 11,651]

Well, did she submit verifiable evidence or did she just provide her side of the story?

Did ya consider that?

Just because she claimed fraud does not mean USCIS will believe her words over his words.

[Darnell 8,479]

ya know, i'm gonna adopt yer patterns today,

and stop reading.

Are there any FDNS stats on this Darnell. As you know I have had ZERO response from FDNS or any other department of Homeland Security regarding my astounding case of fraud perpetrated by my ex. Besides once they file VAWA the A# is changed, how can one ever know if the evidence of scam gets to the right person. According to Sandranj, VAWA unit will NOT look at any evidence from the petitioner, and once VAWA is approved there is little hope of ever turning over the decision. The US Taxpayers are getting screwed by VAWA big time, and there are thousands of broken heart and penniless petitioners at the hands of the scammers.
