I came in this country on fiancé visa and got married with US citizen in California State. We have been married for six months and she send me summon about annulment of marriage (based on fraud, which is not exit any where) divorce in alternative. She field for my petition for immigration but she never took me on interview (adjustment of status)

I don’t have even work permit to work. She took all my immigration paper.

She also took my all belongs (like cloths and jewelers). she also took my key and passport, which I got back through police. I ‘m representing my case own, because I don’t have any sources of income to support my self.

I need answer to few questions and need advice.

1. Is their any chance for me to get temporary spousal support?

2. Do you think that I’m victim of domestic violence, because she has send me paper (30-day notice of termination of tenancy).

3. What will happen to my immigration status?

4. After divorce how long I can stay in this country?

5. How can I get back my belongs?

6. Do you think she should pay for my attorney?

7. Is their any chance for me to stay in this country?

8. Is it possible for me to change my visa status into student visa?

Thanks

These are difficult questions to answer. None can be reliably answered because we don't know the basis for her complaint of fraud. If she is correct and your relationship was based on fraud, you are not likely to be staying in the US. There are always two sides to such stories and you've made no attempt to even describe her side.

I suggest you seek out assistance from an agency that specializes in assistance to immigrants. Usually they have attorneys who will offer assistance.

I am really sorry for your situation. It sounds as if your ex really has some sort of problem and I would consider myself lucky to be out of that situation, if it were me.

If your ex has stolen your items, then that is theft and I recommned you go to the police about it. It doesn't matter about your immigrant status. What your ex has done is wrong and you have every right to not only get your stuff back, but also to have the ex punished.

Unless your ex has been physically violent toward you, it is not considered domestic violence. However, it is abusive to do what your ex has done to you. Call victim support and see what they suggest. I also recommend you talk to a immigration specialist, if you are in a position to do so.

I am also sorry to say that due to the shortness of your marriage, and the fact your ex has acted in such a manner, they didn't have the correct intent when you married them. I am sorry to ask, and you can have a go if you feel I am being intrusive, but was there any incentment for your ex to marry you. Unfortunately, you do hear about situations such as these where people are offered incentives to marry someone from another country and sometimes the other person doesn't know about it until it is too late. I have warning bells ringing when you say that your ex didn't take you to your interview and has retained your immigration papers. There is something really untoward about that and I would contact the USCIS or another immigration body to tell them about that. If the case was that your ex married you and led you to believe that they were commited to you, but really had other motives, they need to be looked into. Unfortunately, a lot of people can act well and then screw people over. In the UK we have a lot of sham marriages that are often covered in magazines and papers, detailing similar situations. Sometimes it is the petitioner who acts in this manner, just as with you.

I don't think you can simply transfer your immigration status to a student visa. Are you in school right now? I actually went to the states on a student visa a few years back and I know that you can't transfer status out of that easily, if at all. To apply for a status adjustment, such as to a student visa, you might need to leave the states. Also, if you are applying for a student visa you need have a lot of money in the bank to cover living and tuition expenses, as well as to have a confirmed place in a school in the states. If you don't have the required amount of cash, you stand no chance of getting the student visa as you will be not be able to get any student support from the US government.

I hope this helps some.

All the best.

True...I also said as nicely as I could that it all seems a bit fishy to me. Regardless, he should see someone about getting his stuff back.
