OK.  Unless she charges you with a crime, you are out of the loop. You have no pending I-864 if the I-485 was denied.  She is on her own as far as immigration.  

She's been gone now for over 2 months. We stopped all contact when I realized what she had done and how she played me throughout this marriage.

Do I need to do anything immigration wise other than send a letter to say I want to revoke my already approved I-130?

Also, will get a work permit automatically for applying to either one?

First line: I am certain it's a u-visa, no police report (I'm sure I would have been notified if there was).

There is nothing saying that the crime has anything to do with you, so, no, you would not necessarily be notified. 

If she is your ex, then the best tip is to move on and let her manage her immigration stuff on her own.  Focus your energy on living your best life.

I wouldn't know what "crime" there would be. We have been together almost everyday for 3 years. I just have to wait out the divorce. I am beyond traumatized that I got abandoned the way I did when we had no issues and how much money and time I spent doing everything for her future.

If the marriage is not salvageable, I would focus on protecting myself physically and financially. Per your comments, seems she has a weak U-Visa or VAWA path forward. 

Yes, secured from that perspective. Does a VAWA or U-VISA automatically give her a work permit?

Contact a lawyer, some circumstances can waive the 1 yr separation before filling for divorce. You may have enough evidence that would qualify, but you need to talk to a lawyer to find out.

No. She's not getting any immigration benefit from you, you cannot withdraw any cases etc.

Why does this matter? If it's all about revenge, VJ members rarely give any tips about harming other people. Sorry the marriage didn't work out.

I believe it allows her to apply for a work permit. However, it will not involve you

I think I'm having a hard time just swallowing what happened - Spent 100k on her present and future in the last 2 years, let alone a home too. Can't even describe the support she got from my parents and friends too. It was down right evil.

I just didn't know if there is anything else I need to do in order to protect myself.

At this point ,  she's gone

let whatever she does be her immigration problem

Her waiver denied/her I 485 denied so she is illegal  now/ have orders to deport been issued?

Don't fall for any movement from her to recover what is lost / a lawyer to salvage her in this situation would be expensive 

 

yeah,  sounds like she used u but sad fact is,  some people do

concentrate now on taking your life back 

divorce and move on

very sorry this happened to u

Do you have a good divorce attorney?  If not, get one.

Never received an order to deport, but she was subject to the 10 year bar. She had overstayed her ESTA for over 2 years.

Originally she came in on a J-1, but when we got married and her overstaying, she was on an ESTA. From what I understand, she may not be able to get an ESTA again if she leaves. Is the correct?

We have been in contact with one, he just said we need to wait the 1 year.

Nothing you have mentioned suggests a U, a lot suggests VAWA.

 

Yes she gets EAD as part of the VAWA application. She may of course be working without authorisation.
