My husband is threatening to revoke my permanent residency

[needhelpnow999 2]

I became a conditional permanent resident in January, my husband and I went to the interview together and it went well. I love my husband but we have been going through a difficult time, tonight something happened and my husband said he wants to divorce and also told me he will “revoke my permanent residency”. I do not want to divorce and I am hoping we will be able to solve the issue, however I am unsure now as I have not been able to talk to him yet. 
 

I love my husband as I mentioned, I have given up everything to be with him and now I’m finally getting my life started here in the US after leaving my home country in the EU. 
 

I entered the marriage in good faith, but in case things did not go well, is it possible he could revoke my permanent residency? It seems his family is suggesting this.
 

I am at loss, I feel devastated. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hahaha he doesn’t have this power. Don’t even be worried about it.

Is more, he is the one on the “bad situation” .

He signed the I-864 for support you. Or he forgot this part? 
You can still apply for Remove of Conditions being divorced.

Do you have your green card on hands? 
Please, be careful with all your documents. If you don’t feel safe find a better place.

We have both made mistakes, however tonight he got my phone and shattered it. I was also trying to talk to him and he went into the bathroom and closed my arm between the door and the wall. I am very heartbroken, I love my husband and I understand I have done mistakes as well, however I am not sure if he could do anything. His family seems to be now against me, it seems they suggested to do this.

He can’t. 
He is responsible to provide for you as he signed on the I-184.

He can divorce and do whatever he wants with his life but you are not a package that he bought from EU and want to return.

You need to be more informed about your rights and about the process.

And you can always call the Police for something that is not right.

Repeat this like a mantra -- ONLY AN IMMIGRATION JUDGE CAN TAKE AWAY YOUR LPR STATUS.

 

Your husband and his family have no power to revoke your green card.  Since he petitioned for you and attended your GC interview, that means he himself gave evidence to the US government that your relationship is bona fide.  USCIS understands that even bona fide marriages sometimes don't work out.  That's why there's an option for divorce waiver when filing for removal of conditions on the GC.

 

Ignore his empty threats about your immigration status.  Keep yourself safe.  I wish you well.

Joke is on your husband. It's not up him to decide if you can remain in the US or not; it's ultimately up to you. He CANNOT revoke your permanent residency. Only the US govt can do that. You'll be surprised you yourself have an upper hand in this situation than he does. You can remove your conditional residency without him with a divorce waiver if it gets to that point. Quickly get to working and get yourself informed with the immigration process as it relates to conditional residency and you'll see that you have a much upper hand. He is using the threat to revoke your permanent residency as a means to control you. Don't fall for it.

If I recall clearly, somewhere during the immigration process, you were give a leaflet about abuse or something like that.

 

This is a real issue that keeps coming up over and over again.

Get that leaflet, read it carefully. It may be brief but there is info there to start you of.

 

In my opinion, if things have gotten this far, it will take a miracle to get your marriage on the right track again.

Let him do his worse. move on with your life.

 

Also listen to what the others in the chat have already said

Please gather as many important documents as you can, and contact the police. He has damaged your property and knowingly physically hurt you. This is domestic abuse/violence and you do not have to accept this in order to remain in this country! 

 

Get a police report, get to a womens' shelter for the short term (the police can help with this and also escort you home collect more of your belongings safely). Your primary goal right now should be to make sure you're safe from any escalating violence.

 

You don't need his approval to remain a permanent resident. He can't revoke anything. You can file Removal of Conditions without him. The only thing he can take from you is your life.

1.  Stay safe.

2.  Protect yourself physically and legally through a good attorney.

3.  Do not be intimidated. Your husband cannot have your residency revoked.  He has already provided USCIS and DOS with a lot of information showing this relationship to be bona fide.

4.  Seek happiness for yourself.

Good luck.

Please stay safe.  What your husband did is domestic violence.  Please contact the police, take pics of your arm and phone. 

Your husband is counting on you remaining silent as you are an immigrant and he believes you don't know your rights.

Nobody has the right to hit you.  No one.  Once someone shows you their true colors believe them.  It will not get better if will only get worst.

You need to get out and get safe. Please. 

Your husband is obligated to support you because of the I-184 he signed.  This obligation is until you become a citizen.  You can enforce this during divorce proceedings if you choose.  

Again please contact the police, take pics and get your documents to together and your clothes and run because your life depends on it.  Don not stay and take the bullsh.. and abuse as it will escalate in the future.  Put you first.

Not a good idea. Some people (maybe all of us) are capable of unimaginable violence. No need to aggravate him.

 

She should evaluate dispassionately with the help of a professional if the marriage is salvageable. If it is not, she should remove herself from the situation as calmly and safely as possible.

 

Lets remember although it is absolutely her right to stay in the home, some rights are not worth enforcing if it could trigger violence.

 

Stay safe!

Scan any important document related to your marriage and save it on Dropbox account. Just in case he’s being funny about it, at least u can access the document online. I know he smashed ur phone, if you can get a new phone you can even scan it with ur phone.
