Guidance needed

[Voided 55]

Hi all it's been a while. I'll try to make this short and to the point. My husband's visa was approved November 8, he entered the US November 18, and sadly I think I've been bamboozled as he left our home yesterday December 9.

Now he's claiming I was verbally abusive, he's submitting the chats to the embassy etc, that he can no longer be here with me and has blocked me on whatsapp. He even sent the police to my house saying I threatened him and my own life etc. To my knowledge he is still in the local area staying in shelters. Him saying he's abused and feels like I'm a threat I thought about the vawa process, don't know if that applies here. We are CR1 but he doesn't yet have a green card. He is working and said with his first paycheck he's buying a ticket home. I don't believe him. I am devastated and truly don't feel this can be salvaged and will unfortunately be filing for divorce. From an immigration stand point is there anything I can do? I do know he misrepresented about previous drug use because he tried to smoke weed with a family member here begging them to let him have some that he used to use it all the time in DR to calm him etc. Family member wouldn't allow it because he knows it's a no no with immigration. Can he legally stay here?

 

Sorry if this is all over the place I'm a wreck and please any help is appreciated.

From an immigration standpoint there is nothing you can do or need to do. He became a legal resident the minute he walked through the immigration hall at JFK on November 18. Whether he stays, goes, moves to another state is entirely up to him. If you divorce he can still stay here, if he wishes. Maybe he will, maybe he won't. When it comes to the removal of conditions he can file with a divorce waiver if you are divorced then.

 

Whether you try to salvage the marriage or whether you divorce... that's up to you and what you want to do. Good luck.

What kind of chats is he sending to the embassy? Does he have any evidence he could use against you?

Just normal bickering and name calling but he's saying I'm verbally abusive etc.

Have you considered an infopass? I would also try getting a restraining order since he doesn’t sound like someone to trust and he’s still around.

Even if he stays there you can report him.

He is LPR even without the physical card. He has a sticker in his passport which serves as evidence for a year. 

 

August I'm sorry you're going through this. I hope you can get divorced and move on. There is not much you can do.

It's not illegal he used his temporary endorsement stamp in his passport, it's good for one year. I actually helped him get the job. And this is the thanks I get

he was authorized to work, even without the physical green card.

 

To the OP:  sorry this is happening to you.

Thank you Andrina I plan on divorcing and I know with time, prayer, good friends and family I'll be able to move on. I read all the horror stories and never imagined I'd be living my own. You live and you learn.

August, try to file the marriage Annulment, you even didn't live together and he is gone, see what are the grounds for Annulment in your state. If you get it, his green card should revoked, do the Annulment based on marriage fraud.

Read this, it's very serious marrying for papers only
