What happens if I do not go to the green card interview?

[kingjulian 80]

I suggest u book an appointment with your local uscis office,  have a seat with an officer and explain into details all that's going on... Suggest to have the case annulled.. Don't let emotions take a bigger part of you because it'll be so expensive to pay later

You don't have to attend the interview, just call in to withdraw your affidavit of support and move on with your divorce process

You should be 100% sure its over before you decide not to show up or pull the i-864. You still have at least a month to decide. Maybe spend a week or two apart, let emotions die down and then have a conversation about your marriage with him before making your decision. I say this because similar stories on here are always one-sided but no one on VJ knows the other side of the story.

 

 

Let's see, the OP wrote this in her first post "He threatened that he would notify immigration of marriage fraud and that I married him only to get him a green card.  He has said to me that he would refuse to sign the divorce papers because it effects his immigration status..."

 

This is clear like water! He is using her to get his GC! He is the one that needs the GC, not her! The man agreed to go separate ways after the interview. It's obvious he is after the GC. Would you stay with someone that is using you to gain immigration status? 

The OP needs to run away from this jack a** guy and inform USCIS what's going on here.

No. But I also know that there are always two sides to every story. People can twist stories around. I'm not accusing OP of this, but it happens. Also, note that one or both couples sometimes say unthinkable/horrible/hurtful things in the heat of an argument. This is why she needs to take a week or two away from this guy and then have a heart to heart conversation with him before making a decision to pull the affidavit.

No need to delay in this case.

If you're certain you won't be staying together, you should file for divorce and notify the NVC of the change of your situation.  They can be contacted by secure email (type "ask NVC" into google and the page comes up.  If you've already been scheduled for an interview you would be able to also contact the consulate by email to advise them. I suggest emails to make sure its traceable and you have a copy (screenshot the NVC page before you hit send)  

You'll be tied to  him for 10 years if you choose to go ahead with this and if you turn up to the interview knowing you're not staying in a married relationship then as others have said, thats immigration fraud. You are doing the right thing going with your conscience, don't let him bend that. 
But do make sure you're absolutely sure before you go ahead with the divorce ... make sure the relationship is definitely over for you both.  you can always ask for your interview to be rescheduled to later if you need some time to work it out.  Just tell them that you can't make the date they scheduled.

She can be tied to him forever, or until one of them dies.   There is no 10 years - it is 40 quarters of work, or obtaining US Citizenship, or leaving the USA permanently.

Hello! I have the same problem, but in this case I am not the petitioner. I got married because I love my husband, very much! So our marriage is authentic! But unfortunately we have been struggling a lot due to his abuse  to weed.  And he rather have weed than me! The case is that I feel that I can not say anything about even though it’s my house as well since I pay for half of everything but he wants to have his staff ( weed staff)everywhere on the house. And this got worse after we got married, he feels like I am on his hands because he is the petitioner.Anyway he broke up with me , he does not want to be molested, and we have a pending interview. I won’t ask him to go and pretend but  I just want  to know what are the consequences if I go back to my country. I already have my work authorization and advance parole document. But I wouldn’t  like to be penalized for 10 years since I love traveling  and wouldn’t be fair! Please give and advise! Thanks
