I also remember you. Thank you so much for your loving comment, and yes I'm better off now, but as you have noticed from the numerous conversations here, I think I need to prepare myself to protect my income and assets should it come to that. I hope your process has been all that you hoped it would be and more! It's so wonderful when things come together because they are based on true love and not deceit.

Out of the very large number of divorces there are very very few court cases, I would be very surprised if you could find a comparable set of circumstances and then if you could would it apply in your courts.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

I think the answer you seek is not as simple as a yes or no but rather one of too many variables that would be better answered by a divorce
lawyer. I wish you the best !

if it comes down to a court case to enforce the I-864, could the court legally touch my VA Disability Compensation and use that.

If the ex or his lawyer tries this, one phone call to your local TV station will put a firm stop to it and apply major egg on their faces.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

I think you should have filed for an annulment based on fraud, this way every benefits he had got based on the marriage would been voided and he would have had to go back. Divorcing him does not change his status in any ways and he will most likely get a good lawyer and adjust with some hoops, but he will be okay.

If you look at the ROC form, you will see a check mark to select for removing conditions based on divorce or annulment. Your assumption that a local family court's findings holds water with USCIS is mistakenly placed.

I wish you the best. I'd suggest to forget about him and his issues, and this I-864 business. The likelihood of you ever being taken to court over this is slim I would say none but you can never say never, especially when the government is involved.

Perhaps she needs to move on with her life!? If anything, karma will catch up to him. To the OP, you're just wasting your time, energy and getting emotionally drained by going thru this. Green card or not, half of the marriages here in the U.S end up in divorce. And from what you mentioned in your previous posts, yours seemed like a bonafide marriage. What happens if he does get deported...you'll gain nothing out of it and chances are your life will still be the same if not worse. So imo, let it go and move on with your life.

In certain circumstances, anytime during the alien's lifetime, the government can move to revoke any immigration benefit an alien received. The five-year period is for something an alien does after coming to the US (such as committing crimes) or for errors committed by the government while processing a petition.

If, for example, the alien obtained the green card by faking a marriage to a US citizen, the government can start a proceeding to revoke the green card even after the alien has become a US citizen or even after 20 or 30 years have passed.

I don't understand what that has to do with an immigrant being able to remove conditions even if the marriage was annulled. The law allows it, and it is not unlawful. USCIS and local courts have totally different standards on the issue. USCIS is not bound by a local court's determination that a marriage was not legitimate and could be annulled.

In certain circumstances, anytime during the alien's lifetime, the government can move to revoke any immigration benefit an alien received. The five-year period is for something an alien does after coming to the US (such as committing crimes) or for errors committed by the government while processing a petition.

If, for example, the alien obtained the green card by faking a marriage to a US citizen, the government can start a proceeding to revoke the green card even after the alien has become a US citizen or even after 20 or 30 years have passed.
