Everything went sour after he got his green card.

Be sure you secure your important papers somewhere else than your house. Put them all in a safe deposit box at a bank or something.

I did already, Thanks for the advise.

[EM_Vandaveer 2,387]

Looks like you are more interested in his deportation than your own safety. You helped prove that this is genuine and you will need a whole lot to prove "marriage fraud". I know we all can get fooled but you were and still using deportation threat against him. That's how he could use emotional abuse against you..You tried restraining order and couldn't get one even though it is fairly easy to get in Texas.

You can't just send him back.

Get away from him. Your safety and that of your son is important. And channel your energy to something else. All that you are doing now is leaving paper trail for him to ROC no difficulty.

Good luck to you!

^^ it is illegal in the state of Texas to record conversations between parties without consent.. She can't do that.

TX has one-party consent, she can record whatever she wants.

[LLosstt 4]

I am so sorry to hear that this has happened to you. Please follow through with what the others have told you.

Make a plan to get set free as it will help you to recover emotionally and REMEMBER, this is not your fault. Put that head back up, straighten your crown and move on like the Queen you are.

Thanks chrisete, I'm trying, I know the only way to survive something like this is God, I'm doing a lot of praying .

Judge Judy (don't laugh :rofl ) threw out someone's evidence of recorded phone conversation because the other party (TX resident) wasn't aware of the recording...duh! never bother to check on the law...Thanks!

This is so sad to read....but one thing stands out...from the beginning he was a compulsive liar and you thought marriage would change him. Sweetie...why on earth would you want a future with a liar? I don't know you but I'm certain you deserve better and its time you realize that too!

Kick that dead beat liar out to the curb, change the locks and get that order of protection. You only need to document his threats and your fears. Then he will not be allowed near the home OR near you. If he breaks the order he gets arrested.

As for reporting him for fraud...thats a tough one from what I have read here on VJ. Instead of revenge, put your energy into getting free of this guy.

So sorry this happened! Its a green card nightmare!!!

OP can't just kick him to the curb unfortunately.

Although She owns the house, it is also the marital home to the deadbeat. He still has a legal right of occupation for as long as they remain married to each other.

Best way is to file for divorce ASAP and have the court order to make him leave the house.

[Cathi 5,694]

take your valuables with you, leave the house, stop all communication and go somewhere safe

initiate divorce proceedings

if you started anything joint with him-credit cards, bank accounts etc, close those down

why would she leave a home she owns for a guy she has known for a few months?

OP kick him out,if he won't go on his own call the police and have them help you gt him out. File for a divorce and move on.

Not sure if that is accurate. Here is something I just found on the internet...I am not a lawyer. I would suggest you look into this further if you intend to record anything.

Texas Recording Law

Note: This page covers information specific to Texas. For general information concerning the use of recording devices see the Recording Phone Calls, Conversations, Meetings and Hearings section of this guide.

Texas Wiretapping Law

Texas's wiretapping law is a "one-party consent" law. Texas makes it a crime to intercept or record any "wire, oral, or electronic communication" unless one party to the conversation consents. Texas Penal Code § 16.02. Therefore, if you operate in Texas, you may record a conversation or phone call if you are a party to the conversation or you get permission from one party to the conversation in advance. That said, if you intend to record conversations involving people located in more than one state, you should play it safe and get the consent of all parties.

The law does not cover oral communications when the speakers do not have an "expectation that such communication is not subject to interception under circumstances justifying such expectation." See Texas Crim. Proc. Code § 18.20. Therefore, you may be able to record in-person conversations occurring in a public place, such as a street or a restaurant, without consent.

In addition to subjecting you to criminal prosecution, violating the wiretapping law can expose you to a civil lawsuit for damages by an injured party. Texas Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 123.002.

Consult the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press's Can We Tape?: Texas for more information on Texas wiretapping law.

See the post just above yours for the answer

Also she should do everything possible to make it impossible for him to claim she is abusing him, and she should get somewhere safe

[purplepretzel 35]

I am so sorry that you are going through this, after all the trouble of filing those papers. I agree with some of the responses here. File for divorce and restraining order. Your safety (and your son's) should come first. In two years, his conditional status will expire. If he jumps from job to job like he does now, it's possible he wouldn't even have the money to submit an application.

Hope things work out!

[bigjailerman 318]

First of all, you can definitely have him removed from your home regardless of you marital status. If he threatened you PHYSICALLY it only takes your say so to get a restraining order.

Secondly, only one party has to know about the recording. It also doesnt have to be used in divorce proceeding that may not accept it, but a restraining order will hear that evidence.

Finally, I hate to say it mgonzalez, but you put this whole situation in your own lap. By your own words you say he was a compulsive liar from the get go.. why in the world would you pursue that? You have to have more confidence in yourself. The good Lord above isn't going to protect you from yourself, you have to do that for you, and that of your son. On some level you had to know he wasnt being honest, and guess what, you are part of the fraud, if that is what it actually is. You will have a heck of a time trying to put a spotlight on him solely to be committing visa fraud. You are going to be questioned as well by immigration, its not a one way street, he can easily do the same. But just be aware of that before you take action and get some serious legal advice from an immigration attorney and dont just go by what people on a forum says.

It is time to take the bull by the horns. Best of luck.

He was only given conditional Green Card. If you can collect all the proof and complaint to USCIS on this marriage fraud, they will not lift his condition on Greencard by the end of the 2nd year and will be cancelled and he has to go to his home country.

...alas, it isnt that straightforward.

[TBoneTX 44,658]

All through out the relationship, I have always know him to be a compulsive liar, I thought after marriage things would change because, we both have faith in God, I told him, that the only way this marriage would last if, we both went to church and turn our self to God completely.

God helps those who help themselves. It's time for you to help Him by acting as posters above have recommended.

[Pinkrlion 2,672]

You can have him legally evicted and the sheriff will serve him and put him out.
