I wrote here sometime ago about getting scammed by a Frenchman who was seeking gay relationships during our short marriage. My annulment has just been granted and I want to thank everyone here for their support. It has been a very long road, but justice has prevailed in my situation. If you are a victim of immigration fraud, please don't give up. If you're having doubts about the intentions of your partner like I did, please investigate and keep digging until you have answers.

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

Did your ex-husband attend the hearing? Was he present? Did he fight it in any way?

What is his immigrant status? Are you still responsible for him as his sponsor?

My ex fiancé (not ex husband since the marriage legally never happened)  was not present nor did he contest, he avoided all correspondence from my lawyer. He was not a resident when I filed for an annulment, he was awaiting his temporary residency interview and he had no travel privileges nor a work permit and he fled once he was caught. I contacted USCIS and withdrew all paperwork as soon as this happened, and an annulment states the marriage never happened. I'm not responsible for him under these circumstances. I sincerely hope no one else has to go through any of this!

So you never filed an I 864
