The only way that I see to attack his immigration status is if the marriage is not legal....but I am certainly no expert.

Agree.  There is no way he will escape supporting his child.  That could be why he withdrew his filing.   I would go after him tooth and nail for child support.

You have two separate issues here. The divorce is one thing and immigration is another. One is more in your control than the other.    Get a good divorce lawyer to help you with protecting your

however, I must mention he's also a citizen of a developing country known for fraudulent activities (one citizen even had his US citizenship revoked after many years due to immigration fraud) 

 

Which country is this, if you do not mind? Maybe an expert VJer from there can give you some insight, but only of we know.

 

Sorry, you are going through this

Immigration journey is not: fast, for the faint at heart, easy, cheap, for the impatient nor right away. If more than 50% of this applies to you, best get off the bus.

It would likely be among 2 or 3 possibilities , I'd guess.

I forgot to mention that I related to my then immigration lawyer my concerns and desire to file for divorce after the visa interview (which I didn't attend overseas) 

 

Their email told me to have a cool off period and that is too late to do anything.

Are you saying you had doubts after the visa interview, but before he traveled to the US?

I think your last paragraph is  very very biased.  People from from the  EU can certainly do that, the fact that they gave him a waiver in the first place from inadmissibility is shocking to me.

Seems a straightforward waiver situation?

The clause was extreme hardship to US citizen (as in taking care of elderly parents, have students loans, work & health issues) & couldnt leave that behind

Yeah, but am just thinking how the fact that he was "was previously permanently barred for willful misrepresentation (working under the table) & overstating visa" wouldn't be enough to not grant it. I have seen some cases denied for less, I might be wrong but just my thoughts.

That must be the most common situation and the most easily waived, very unusual for someone with just that to have issues, assuming the waiver was properly prepared.

Generally those are forgiven for immediate relatives of USCs.
