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.

I too didn't have much hope, but it took over 2 yrs and was granted... unfortunately

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.

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.

Okay.

Actually it was 10 yr ban but then changed into permanent 

Yes, but they are subject to waivers.  If a spouse was adjusting from inside the US after an overstay/illegal work, they would be forgiven, and as you found out, with the proper waiver filled out, they can be overcome at the consulate stage.

He is here, has his GC, not going anywhere unless he wants to. So a bit of a dead discussion.

I'm seeking advice. 

 

Soon to be ex, was previously permanently barred for willful misrepresentation (working under the table) & overstating visa.

 

I applied for waiver of inadmissibility for extreme hardship

 

He gets it, enters the US with permanent GC & files for divorce 10 days after leaving and changing address, seeking spousal support

 

In total we lived together overseas 60 days.

 

Any advice on where to report (other than site) will be appreciated 

 

Thank you

IMHO ...Just take the loss, accept the divorce....talk to a good lawyer about the spousal support

Speak the truth even if your voice shakes

Proving immigration fraud will be extremely difficult, if not impossible...imo.  Your state laws will dictate what spousal support he is granted.   This is divorce attorney territory, not DIY web site stuff.  Good luck.

I 864 is a Federal issue but I have seen it imputed into Divorce settlements.

After he withdrew his case, I filed for no fault divorce

 

I've been thinking of annulment for fraud, but  I couldn't gather enough information fraud proof (which lawyer says has to have witnesses) in the 10 days he stayed with me despite my voiced suspicion
