 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.

I wonder if he knows that illegal financial transactions  can set him up for a stint behind bars and a swift trip back to his country....

Prob not. That’s why I said he seems to THINK he knows what’s he’s doing... thinks he’s smart. But OP can be smarter if she plays her cards right. 

[angelbrown 195]

So is it a joint statement with the person?

[Everlast 49]

OP, If he comes home to you every other night, lives with you. Have you tried marriage counselling? OP is withholding a lot of information for us to jump into conclusion.

 

Go for marriage counselling.

 

Regards.

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. 

Be careful and please watch out for yourself. Why would be not want you on the deed? Plus add the accounts that he has no told you about and deposits under $10,000? Money laundering? I would not sign anything unless you already have?

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

Oh good...disregard my comment about filing then. Do not even offer the point that he needs to file 90 days before, though I am sure he already knows this.

I have a little knowledge about this that I will share for free. I had a Nigerian friend who’s overseas friends located in Nigeria brought this same idea to him; that they needed him to open a bank account in the US for them and that the friends will be depositing money from overseas in this US account. It’s called The Yahoo scam. They deposit suspicious money to your US account, money which is questionable.

How do they make money out of this though?

This is a big businesss. Most scam older people who’re looking for love while others  just scam normal people who’re desperate. There was a case in Houston in 2017 where a guy working in a medical field got scammed $70000 within a year. 

I had one talk to me. I was naive at that time and continued with the conversations However, I cut it short when she claimed to have lost her wallet in Nigerian mountains while on a business trip and needed $450 to help get her to DFW, after which we will meet and she’ll pay me back. For once, I do not recall in my geography class any mountains in Nigeria. That was how I cut her off. 

 Doing the Math, if one person scams 10 people of even $500 per month, how much do you think they make in a month?? And there are people like the Houston individual who send more $$ thinking they’ve found love.

So they get the money via scamming THEN want an acquittance in the US to put the ill-gotten gains into a US bank account, correct? I wonder why, though? Why is it important to put the money in a US bank?

This, I’ve never asked. 

But to think of it, it may be because they’ve set up profiles which state they’re in the US. So they’ll be needing US account numbers when their lover starts sending money to them.

 

For the case of my friend, he was to receive $10000 in week one which will total up to $50000 within a month. 

 

And I do have two university friends who are in this. We’re broke students yet this guy has a considerable amount of $$ in both his US account and Nigerian. He showed it to me while in class. At that time, I did not know what he was doing behind the curtains, but a fellow Nigerian friend who’d  bring his activities to light. I have him on social media, where he’s leading flashy lifestyle; different cars every week, trips during summer, designer clothes etc. This guy hasn’t even graduated ( I already did yet we were in the same program). Last time I saw him in class was in Spring 2016 when he hastily decided to get married as he was getting in hot waters with the International Student Office for skipping class the whole of Fall 2015 semester. After he got married, he stopped going to class completely. 

At the time when he showed me his account, he was dating a US citizen, a girl who’s account he was using to stash money. This was the US account that he had shown me in class. I remember it was Wells Fargo and if I’m not wrong, it had $20-25000 in it at that time. I don’t remember vividly how much was in his Nigerian account. Surprisingly, the girl he married was not the one he was dating. The other girl ended up crying her eyes out as she had got used to lavish lifestyle. I knew her very well too. 

 

So so for this guy’s case, being on F1, he was using this girl’s  account so as not to raise suspicion with the government as to how a foreign University student will be having all this money under his belt.

And his decision to get married was mostly influenced by the fact that during the Spring of 2016, he had been marked absent by the school when the 12th day of class rolled by and the professors submitted their class rosters. This, coupled by the fact that he had missed the 2015 Fall semester got him in trouble with the International Student Office. So within a month from the 12th day of class roster (which I think is late February), he had “dumped his girlfriend, met someone else, fell in love and got married.” I vividly remember he got married in March/ early April of 2016 at the courthouse. I did not attend, but was shown pictures of the wedding.

Well if this is the case with OP’s spouse, she should get as far away as soon as poss so as not to get caught up in that web. Def wouldn’t go down with him based on everything she’s said (and not said) so far...

The plot thickens...  Out of curiosity, did you consider reporting him to ICE/USCIS?
