I'm sending the letter out to day to withdraw the I-130 petition and have already filed for divorce. She has yet to be served by the process server, which should be next Monday. My only question is the wording on the withdrawal letter. All I said was that the marriage was not viable, and she moved out without saying a word. Can this come back on me in anyway? I could say a lot because she actually offered money for me to continue helping her. No thank you. I just want her out of my life and whatever happens is now on her.

I'm a father of a teenage girl and a teacher and pastor. I am just trying to live my life in peace and move past this chaos. Thanks for advising. I'm over this whole thing.

Use this version which you posted earlier in the thread:

 

"I am writing to withdraw the I-130 PETITION FOR ALIEN RELATIVE, filed on behalf of my wife, (name). Receipt # XXX and A# XXX, notice date: (date of notice of action) because the marriage is not viable. We are not physically emotionally compatible. She has abandoned the marriage and so I plan to file for a divorce or annulment."

 

There is no need to go into detail any further in the letter.

As you can all imagine, this whole thing has been stressful for both my teenage daughter and myself. I have been tempted to report her to ICE, but my attorney advises to just focus on getting divorce and moving on. I will probably not date another immigrant in the future. In the future, I will probably only date Americans but that is not to say that all immigrants are bad people. It has just been a learning experience for me. She is the second immigrant I've been married to and both instances have gone sour. So, I guess I'm only going with Americans from this point forward to avoid all of this legal red tape and problems. Anyway, I have a saying: We can learn from the past or live in it. I choose to chalk it up as a learning experience.

 

Thank you all for your help through this. I'm truly grateful for each of your input as it has helped me navigate this problem. The only thing I have left is dealing with the church and hoping that this vindictive person does not try to cause me any more problems. I say she is vindictive because she lied on her asylum application. She said she can't return to Nicaragua because she is was an activist in Nicaragua (not fitting to her personality) nor can she return to Costa Rica because of an abusive ex of 15 years although she was proclaiming her love for him on Facebook just weeks after her arrival to the US.  My hope is that the US government catches this fraud because it is unjust for the immigrants who are properly vetted and enter the right and legal way.

 

As for me, I simply want her out of my life completely because I honestly do not feel safe with her.

Good advice. Please update the thread when USCIS acknowledges your request.

I'm divorcing her and sent in the withdrawal of the I-130. It will most likely end in a default divorce judgment, since she will never sign. There were never any other petitions filled (like AOS) or nothing like that. Just the I-130 only and it was just sent December 2024. I'd prefer not to report this to ICE because I just want to wash my hands of the whole thing and let her deal with the consequences of her own behavior. She will fall on her own sword sooner or later. The only reason that I question if I should report it to ICE is to protect myself because I don't want it to look as though I was compliant as I truly believed that she loved me, but it was all a farce on her part. I'm hoping that withdrawing the I-130 petition and divorcing her is enough. She is in deportation proceedings and surely this will come back on her at some point. 

 

Also, would you recommend sending the final judgment of divorce, when granted, to UCSIS? My lawyer does not specialize in immigration law. He is just focused on the divorce.

This is enough to protect yourself

If USCIS grants your request to withdraw the I-130 then this is not necessary
