withdrawal of affidavit of support

[NancyNguyen 1,657]

Collect all evidence you can and report to USCIS, they will take note on his file.

File Divorce NOW or tomorrow if you can... A divorce right after he got to the States will make his immigration path difficult later.

You did your best to convince the government your relationship was true. It's not it responsibility to clear up your mess.

I'm sorry you got played by this man you thought loved you. That's an awful situation to go through.

At this point you can't withdraw the affidavit of support but that doesn't mean you have to pay his bills.

File for divorce and cut all ties, move on. You haven't been married for very long, so I don't think you'd have to pay him spousal support or anything and even if he applied and received government assistance, it seems uncommon that a former petitioner has to pay that back at some point.

Gather whatever solid evidence of his fraud you might have and report him but don't expect much to come from it other than its documented for the future.

Based on your statement, this is grounds for annullment, and his green card will be revoked.

I'm not 100% sure if they will revoke his card at this point

[Maritah 94]

If he has the 10 year GC you can't get him deported sorry, get a divorce as soon as possible and move on.

I suggest you keep track when he get the citizenship If you can, so you will know that your affidavit of support its not valid anymore.

Good luck!

If gc based on marriage, and marriage was annuled, no longer eligible for green card.

[Boiler 44,855]

Annulment is predominantly a VJ issue. Not something you come across very often in the real world.

Just wondering what the evidence is, not mentioned.

Wrong again:

The USC would have to convince USCIS of the fraud

You were married for 2 years and never consummated the marriage? You didn't think that was a red flag of sort?

[Harmonia 211]

You've been married 2+ years. Marriage fraud is extremely rare and involves both parties trying to commit fraud, like accepting payment for marriage and not living together. It just sounds like you married someone in good faith, you were apart a loooong time, he wasn't faithful, and it didn't work out.

USCIS isn't a marriage counselor. Half of marriages end in divorce. Can you imagine if every spouse who was cheated on tried to annul the marriage? Its not a thing. My advice is get divorced and move on.

Additionally, if and when USCIS finds actual marriage fraud, the US citizen can get charged and fined for participating. So I wouldn't want to open myself up to a marriage fraud investigation. Your husband could just as easily say he paid you money to bring him over. Don't go down that he said, she said path.

Marriage fraud isn't always a 2 person effort. It is probably as frequent that the non USC pretends to be head over heals in love with no real feeling behind it and shows their true heart once they have their feet inside the US. Trying to scare the OP into not reporting her immigration chasing hubby because it is going to come back at her is silly. She had nothing to do with his actions. She is blameless except for not having her eyes wide open enough.

Let's look at actual cases where USCIS found marriage fraud as defined by USCIS (not marriage fraud where someone took advantage of a gullible person and got married). This is straight from the USCIS website. What do these cases have in common? Money and entire networks of fraud. Multiple people charged. None were USCIS playing marriage counselor to a couple with a broken marriage and bad feelings. I found zero cases where a couple separated in a bitter way. The OP is welcome to report fraud, but her saying the marriage was not entered into in good faith is a bad idea. Why would marry someone knowing its not in good faith? Better to divorce and move on.

"According to evidence presented during the trial, the defendants conspired to recruit and pay U.S citizens to enter into fraudulent marriages for the purpose of receiving lawful permanent resident status or citizenship."

". Chavez, Baez, and Puron charged the individuals a fee to arrange the fraudulent marriages, notarized the fraudulent marriage licenses, completed the necessary immigration paperwork, and prepared the co-conspirators for their interviews with USCIS. The United States citizen and lawful permanent resident co-conspirators also charged the individuals a fee to enter into the fraudulent marriages."

" The indictment further alleges that Peter Barlaan paid Winnie Barlaan several thousand dollars in exchange for her marrying Mark Barlaan and cooperating in the immigration proceedings."

"The defendants charged in the case allegedly recruited United States citizens to travel to Vietnam and enter into phony marriages to allow the illegal entry of the Vietnamese nationals into the United States. According to the indictment, some of the fraudulent marriages involved Vietnamese nationals who were already here. The charges in the indictment include conspiracy to defraud the United States; alien smuggling; marriage fraud; and aggravated identity theft."

When this happens the US person can submit all the evidence they have to the fraud unit of USCIS. Then it becomes a choice of the government of if the pursue any action against the immigrant. There is no I didn't get what I bargained for take them back unit. No one should petition someone they don't know extremely well. Meeting online is a terrible way to find a spouse unless you spend months getting to know each other face to face before letting your hormones drive you into marriage and bed.

yup yup. Echo and expanding....

make an infopass appointment at your local uscis office. Once there, ask to speak with the FDNS officer. Present your casefile for fraud, walk the officer through the casefile. If the investigation proves up the fraud, a 'hold for deportation' order us put into a computer system, which is accessed if he has a traffic stop, is arrested, or comes into the usa at a poe.

it's a long calendar, nothing quick, but you can't win if you don't play.
