Well I was honest and submitted his separate bank statements. He mentioned that his friends back home asked him if they could deposit money into his account which he opened a separate account without my knowledge and deposits money for them for a small fee! These were transactions such as $6800 and less. And I found another bank statement of a gentleman who lives in the same city as us with his loan number. 

Take care of yourself!!  Something isn't right here.........

I just figured that out! At this point I really don’t care. I just want out at this point! 

Ok, don’t think they will accept the package. Curious as to why you sent it if you want out? If you think it’s fraud, divorce and let the burden be on him to remove conditions and prove he entered the marriage in good faith...since he thinks he’s so smart. I certainly wouldn’t help him.

why if you were the only one working would he be on the deed at all? he did not have income or credit score to help qualify for that mortgage.  so wh is he on it?

 

being from nigeria is already added scrutiny, and the hidden bank accounts would be a MAJOR issue for me. like... divorce now issue. then you have the age difference. 

 

there will be scrutiny.

Because you can be on a deed without being on a mortgage.  Just because I'm not on the mortgage doesn't mean I don't contribute to the financials of having and maintaining this home.  It's a good piece of evidence for ROC and citizenship if you choose to go for that at the 3 year mark.    

 

I agree with you that having hidden bank accounts is very suspicious.  $6800 is no small sum of money to be sending to someone else without talking to your spouse too.  

 

However the OP's original post is hard to read.  First they don't get along (or alone?) or spend time together but yet are together every night of the week?  But now the OP is filing for divorce?  If you divorce then the ROC doesn't matter to you anymore, it's completely up the foreign spouse to remove conditions on their own.  Most often they are successful.  Really the only ones who don't successfully remove conditions are people who have VERY short marriages and NO evidence of a relationship or abuse.

I absolutely agree with you.....

Why are the “friends” sending money to a bank account the OP doesn’t know about?

I am so sorry you are going through this. I cannot imagine how you feel. But as @missileman said.... you really need to keep yourself safe.

They decide if the marriage is ongoing a bonafide marriage. 

But if you think he is not a responsible and unloving husband you can choose not to support to remove the condition of his green card. If you got divorce he might apply waiver to get his 10 year green card. Removal of Condition is joint application of the US spouse and the foreign spouse.

Something does sound fishy.... I'd refuse to file jointly or would just delay it until it's too late unless a credible explanation is made about these loan numbers & separate bank accounts (which is unlikely to happen IMHO).

My foreign spouse and I turned in I-751 form and only submitted copies of current tax return for 2018 and mortgage document which he is only on the deed because upon purchasing I was the only one employed at the time....and one current bank statement we have jointly. He has other bank statements that I found with different banks. We have no other documents to submit because we haven’t always gotten alone and not spending time together etc he’s gone all day and night driving for lyft..only see each other at night 7 days a week so I’m wondering if we will be interviewed or if they will find the marriage suspicious. He’s from Nigeria and he is 28 and I’m 42. He only been here since December of last year! 

I am curious of two things:

1. Why are you filing now if the conditional gc expires in Dec? Your packet will be refused and returned for Filing outside required 90-day window.

2. How exactly did you meet your spouse? You seem to not know him very well.....a lot of hidden agendas on his part.

I'm wondering the same.

 

I don't want to sound rude but something is fishy here.

The few pieces of evidence that OP sent out will definitely lead to an interview.

I’m puzzled as to why would someone have someone else’s bank statement in their possession. The date on the statement is May 2017 and we moved close to the individual March 2017. But he always have an answer for every question. Im like we just moved in the area and you dealing with people you don’t even know. I just found out all this couple weeks ago. So I’m lost!

So you bought the house since he came here? Curious as to why you added him to the deed if you weren’t getting along? Did you file taxes jointly for 2017 (assuming that’s the tax yr you’re referring to)? Saying that to say... he seems to think he knows what he’s doing and trying to set himself up nicely in the event he has to get the 10 yr gc on his own.

 

Sending the documents in the hopes of getting their attention is a waste of time and energy on their part and yours.
