Hello Everyone. Please I need your advice. I filed for my husband some months back he got approved and moved into the country. Since he came he doesnt have a job. I have been the one doing all to make sure the family is doing great. His documents are out. Since he got his papers. He has been talking about wanting to divorce me and move into another city. That he feels I am a mistake. He talks with his ex- girlfriend and when I found out he turn it on me. That he feels traps and a prisoner. Because I found out he is in contact with his ex.

Please what should I do. I am confused right now...

If you are looking for immigration advice you will need to provide more details. Did he come on a K1 or an IR/CR1? How long have you been married? What do you mean "his documents are out"?

 

If he already had his ROC there is not much you can do. If he is saying he feels trapped the maybe this relationship is not working out

Cr1 visa, his greencard and ssn.  We have been married for 1 year.

He needs to stay married to you for two years to be able to file the removal of conditions. If he divorces you now then he will need to leave the country after his 2yr greencard expires.

 

Edit: You must be involved in the process to remove conditions. He won't be able to do it on his own. Does he know this?

My 2cents would be you should take control of the situation and end the relationship if it seems he is heading down that path. Don’t let him use you to get his GC. Remember that you will be on the hook through the AOS even if you divorce but if he has to leave the country you won’t be (I believe but should be confirmed)

He does not.. If they get divorced, he can do ROC on his own with a divorce waiver. He will need to be able to prove that the marriage was entered in good faith. 

Petitioner will remain on the hook for aos even though they will be divorced.

Not ended, entered in good faith.  So pictures of you 2 together, co-mingling of finances etc. Anything that shows that your marriage was for real so to speak.

As @Daphne K stated, all he has to do is prove that you two got married in good faith and he can proceed with a divorce waiver. 

 

To be honest, if it was his plan to get a green card, his mission has been accomplished. We very rarely see immigrants who are deported after they get a green card. Your best bet is to move on a hope he doesn't become a public charge.

 

This sucks to all lengths, i know, but if he is acting like this and there is nothing to save your marriage, you may have to protect yourself and move on.

Sadly, the divorce waiver is just a very nice loophole for duping the system... just get married, act nice for a year when you arrive here, let your spouse take care of you for a while till you get comfortable, get all the documents and proof and then say good bye. And then the adjustment is a piece of cake.  People are abusing this a lot.

 

Sorry OP you are going through this, I DO believe there are legitimate cases out there that don't work out, but 2 years is not enough and then suddenly when the beneficiary is not interested in the reason they get the visa ( the spouse) they JUST have to stay here and cant leave this country which they hardly know and where they know no one?

Let him go and file for divorce. if you have proof of him using you you can send it in. They may or may not look at it. 

 

You don't mentioned how long he has been here. So if you have him on joint account remove him, if you haven't added him to anything yet do not add him. 

 

If he arrived and left shortly after he will have a hard to providing proof for ROC. If he plans to bring his girlfriend over he will be in for a surprise.
