Arrange Marriage just to come to US :(

Change locks, put her stuff outside and make sure you are not alone with her. Then divorce her. Make sure you have no financial or long term benefits jointly.

She can figure out how her boyfriend will keep her here.

It seems very strange to me how people that are happily married seem to have some difficulty proving a bonafide marriage...but in cases like this it is so easy for one party to "prove we had a bonafide marriage"

AMAZING!!!

Actually all they have to prove was the marriage was entered into in good faith, not that the marriage itself was bona-fide.

Probably illegal to shove her out into the street. I wouldnt follow this part of this advice.

but she won't be in the street she will be with her H1B lover; l would ask her to leave.

I agree. Before you toss her out, check your state laws.

Doesn't matter. I know that at least here in Virginia you can't just kick someone out of your home even if they technically have somewhere they can go.

Let her know you're filing for divorce. ROC is her problem; if you keep it cordial, maybe she'll move in with her boyfriend.

But try to stay away from her, don't get into arguments with her, just let it go and get on with your life.

[Harmonia 211]

In my current and former state, its also illegal to kick out your spouse and change the locks. That's not how things work.

I hear you're angry, a natural reaction. But you're also married, and you also brought your spouse here and agreed to support her. The law always trumps emotion. Get a family law attorney, follow the law in your state, separate, have her move out, and get divorced. Don't get yourself into trouble just because you're angry.

The good ones work on their relationships, the bad apples work on their paperwork !!

Divorce and move on, and next time date someone for a while, meet the person several times, and forget about arranged marriages.

Great quote! It should be a tagline somewhere.

Someone told me not to sign any papers for her to change her status after 2 years and she will be deported. How true is this?

[Boiler 46,059]

Untrue.

You do not have legal "standing" to demand that anything be done.

If you chose to, and she was not astute enough to know what was going on, you could remain married until the Removal of Conditions window, then refuse to sign. The longer you delay the better. Take it right up to the deadline, then tell her you're not signing and she's on her own.

My wife left me literally within weeks of moving to the USA, although I did sign. However, I went to USCIS personally and also submitted a letter detailing the lack of marital bona fides. Some things are going to be largely he-said-she-said. For example, I know she hid the marriage from her family for months and from her co-workers for years, but how does USCIS know that? But when I told them that she failed to make me the beneficiary of her life insurance and retirement accounts, they could ask her for documentation that she did so - which of course doesn't exist. She proudly showed them the invitation to my brother's wedding addressed to us both (about the only piece of mail that existed that had both names); when I told them that she didn't attend perhaps they would think to ask "Ms. Tuck, did you actually go; do you have any photos from the wedding?"

Marriage "fraud" is almost never prosecuted unless money is changing hands.

It will obviously be best for you emotionally to just move on. But I know that's hard. I happened to have an interaction with my ex-wife about a month ago (we had not seen each other in two years except in a courtroom) and she complained about all her legal fees for immigration, so her fight is probably still going on. I should perhaps mention the details. When she was eventually called for an interview, I declined to attend. I had offered to go if she wanted me to, although my own attorney basically said "Why go attend a spitting contest?" Neither she nor her attorney tried to get me to go. Since it was a joint petition and not a waiver, and neither of us had filed for divorce at the time, she was denied based solely on my non-attendance. I believe (I don't know) that she has reapplied. Nothing she can do will create new marital bona fides that never existed. However, it is probably not the highest priority of USCIS to bring her to court and then escort her to the border. I believe her green card was revoked and she is now a "legal temporary resident" of the USA. My guess is that she'll remain in legal limbo for a very long time. She'll never get a green card, but probably won't be deported for a long time.
