I have heard this way too many times, a USC flexing muscles over an immigrant they initially brought here (my first hand experience), if the immigrant doesn't follow their orders. So has USCIS, which is why they have put protections in place for those innocent immigrants as well as punishments for abusive ones. Let them figure it out but if you feel strongly about it, you can write to them explaining how she used you. Rest assured she will be grilled and decision awarded properly if found guilty with lack of marital evidence. 

 

 

In the OP's case the immigrant is the one who abandoned the spouse- "I have been abandoned by my wife who is the green card holder."

I think they were trying to say that USCIS doesn't automatically take a USC's claim of fraud at face value because there have been cases where the USC uses threats of deportation as leverage to abuse/control/manipulate the immigrant. Doesn't appear the case in this instance but OP would need more than just his vague suspicions to cause USCIS to investigate his wife.

By the way, a divorce does not change the obligations associated with an I-864.   

 

Is it even that enforceable? From what I've been researching, it looks like a major headache to enforce an I-864 anyway.

Yes, it is enforceable.  It has been used in divorce cases.

1st she has a good job/  let her work and do her own ROC

BTW if she makes more money and wants a divorce,  let her do the paperwork and pay a lawyer /just don't sign divorce papers  if she is asking for spousal support

Doesn't sound like anyone will enforce a I 864 if she has a good job and doesn't use government funds to live on

let her naturalize after 5 years and you are off the hook

 

and is her name also on the apartment lease ?

Why waste any more time on her? She already wasted several years of your life, don't volunteer to give her more of your time by trying to do some revenge thing. If you somehow could get her deported, would it really change anything? Cut your losses, cut contact with her and move on with your life ASAP.

Is her name on the Lease for your apartment? If so, she surely has an obligation to pay rent. My Landlord uses an online portal that allows tenants to pay specific amounts when the rent is due - this is so that roommates can pay their share without needing to transfer money to the other tenant.

 

If this is the case for you - and you are both on the lease - I would just pay half of the rent and instruct the Landlord to go after her for the balance. 

 

Also, forget the revenge plot, it's just not worth it and it won't work - you don't get to determine whether an Immigrant is here legally or not.

Well there are atleast two sides to every story. Either ways instead of passing any judgement, I have laid out to him possible steps to let the actual judge decide the outcome.

That will not work.....All tenants are normally liable for the entire amount of rent.

the following site should be read/  it is ICE -the originization u would report a frudentent marriage to

 

https://www.ice.gov/sites/default/files/documents/Document/2016/marriageFraudBrochure.pdf

 

Types of Marriage Fraud-note the 3rd

A foreign national defrauds a U.S. citizen who believes the marriage is legitimate.

 

Now note the following from the site 

 

Penalties

An individual will be charged with marriage fraud if they entered into a marriage for the purpose of evading U.S. immigration law. This felony offense carries a prison sentence of up to five years and a fine of up to $250,000, and applies to both foreign nationals and U.S. citizens who perpetrate this crime.

Seriously? Or maybe they feel used and abandoned. You do not know the relationship or circumstances so you really shouldn't judge...

 

I didnt judge, I gave my own account of experience and a reality check which USCIS practices. Perhaps you should listen to both sides (if a situation allows) before forming a biased opinion. 

 

How do you know this account of abandonment is 100% legit? Speak of being judgmental....

You said "I have heard THIS" in preface to your response to his post. Maybe it's not how you meant to phrase it, but as written it is judging the OP. It wasn't a biased opinion just a literal interpretation of what you wrote.

 

I did not judge either way, I said "maybe" they feel

While I could negate what you say, I don't feel its worth it to argue.

if i cant get her deported. Then can i file for spousal support as part of the divorce.  since i now am going to be living in a standard below what i was living. she made almost triple what i made. 

That's a divorce issue, not an immigration issue. Bring it up with your divorce attorney.

Yeah you're right - I very lazily made the comment then looked it up - unfortunate situation; a part of me would be tempted to not pay any of it and have the Landlord come after us both, but then you just make a rod for your own back. Maybe the OP could look for a roommate? Assuming it's two bedroom of course.
