Spouse visa marriage fraud?

Makes you wonder how this one got past the Consulate, but I agree seems most likely USCIS will pick it up.

 

Cases like this is why it can be so difficult for legitimate relationships.

Apparently, she knew his address at one time. When she told him that her visa was approved that's when he told her that he had moved and has not told her where he is. She came to US anyway and is staying with a cousin.

 

They met and courted online, not sure how long. On his first visit to Nigeria they were married.

he is obligated to report new address to immigration as he signed a support order for her visa approval

What I wonder is what she said during her interview for her visa. If she went and told them the whole truth: that she got married in good faith, she and her husband had been having relationship issues involving his infidelity, but that she still wanted to come to the US to see if she could work things out with him, if not, get a divorce in the US would they have granted her the visa? I think she probably left some keys points out during the interview. I have mixed feelings about the situation.

Let us all for a moment put ourselves in the shoes of a USCIS officer interviewing, what does this look like to you? Whether we like it or not, it does not look good and we can’t sugarcoat it. Something is off and not right

No doubt about it... I think she felt entitled to do so because she views herself as innocent in the situation.

Well, I have been told that women in Nigeria might be more willing to put up with poor treatment, infidelity of husband's because of the social stigma attached to being a divorced woman there. A divorced woman is considered unmarriageable (if that's a word). A divorced woman is not looked on favorably for marriage even if the divorce was the husband's fault, and poor treatment on his part toward his wife. Have I misunderstood how it is in Nigeria in this regard?

Not as much with modern couples.

Probably for money.

I am not saying that this is the issue here but just wanted to share that the situation in Nigeria is somewhat dire. Almost everyone wants to get out hence the Lybia/Italy clusterflap.

 

I hope that  the Lady can get qualified legal advice for the sake of the children.
