Don't count on your spouse to do anything for you. Even if he agrees to go to court he may just make things worse for you.
You will go before the judge where you will be asked questions about your income and assets. At that time if you qualify you will be referred to a public defender.
You need to get out of the house right now. Gather your things, all the evidence you can, all your important documents and leave NOW!
There are domestic violence shelters, homeless shelters, etc you can utilize as a temporary place to stay. If you can't find one go to the police station. They are required to provide you with the information on the local domestic violence shelter. If you can't/won't do that contact a church.
You need to accept that your marriage is over. It is kaput. Done, ended.......there is no more marriage. He is not your partner he is your adversary. Do not count on him, do not depend on him, do not trust him.

Hi,
Sorry for your situation.
You need professional help. Not help from an bunch of folks online.
Contact Catholic Charities. Here is the website for the one in Los Angeles; http://catholiccharitiesla.org/
Contact a women's shelter. Here is the list for LA; https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=women%27s%20shelter%20los%20angeles%20ca
You need a lawyer.
Best of luck

Your I-129F is a petition for fiance but no longer valid since you are married now.
It was USCIS approved but has not reached the embassy right ?
(Please fill out your timeline for better answers).
The I-129F would have resulted in a K1 visa but that ship has sailed now.
You are also talking about the I-129 and I-130 which is a K3 but that is no longer a viable option because the I-129 will be closed and you would
move forward with the I-130 path.
To make a long story short, file a I-130 for a CR1 visa, the spousal visa. That's it.
A RFE is a request for evidence. I mentioned it to make sure you have the correct documents (marriage certificate or document) that the embassy
will deem as sufficient to be married. A previous poster clarified that you already have that so disregard my RFE comment.
If your petition is already at the embassy then call or email them to say you are married and filing a petition for a spousal visa instead.

It means her mother had no grounds to petition her because 1. her green card has been abandoned and 2. there is no family reunification because the mother does not live in the US.

K-1 is fastest, K-3 is pretty much dead so if you get married it would be the CR-1. She files the petition, wait a while, goes to NVC where there is more processing if it is a CR-1 or flies through if it is a K-1, goes to the embassy, you have the interview, you are denied, she/you file the waiver, wait a while, if the waiver is approved the visa is issued. About two years give or take from start to finish.

you do realize this thread is more than six years old correct?

Wow so much misinformation.
1. Felons can petition for fiancé/spouses
2. persons in prison can petition
3. The petitioner does not have to be at the visa interview
4. The petitioner does not have to be at the POE.
5. If the petitioner is in prison and an AOS interview is scheduled his presence can be waived (just like a military member).
It is no ones business why he is incarcerated or for how long. The only way this would be relevant would be if it is a violent, domestic violence, or sex crime. The length of the sentence might come into play as in why give her a green card to live in the US if her spouse will be incarcerated for life (or however long) but that is not for us to decide. Obviously the OP can read and write English so I doubt they intend to come here and live off the fat of the land.
Does anyone even remember what the original question was?

Madtown a felon can petition someone for a K-1........I did it. It depends on the crime. It is highly advised she know all his criminal history as my then fiancé was asked about it.
The only real issue I see with him being a prisoner would be the length of the sentence. If it is relatively short say less than three years then ok, a year to process and get here, two more in prison before they start a life together (not taking into account early release/parole). If the sentence were longer than that I could see it being an issue as they couldn't really be husband and wife and what would be the point of her immigrating. Just my opinion.

And report the legal person to the State Bar.

Of course the definitive answer to this is to read the instructions for the I-130. No better answer than from the horse's mouth.
You might want to check on the requirements to get married in Nigeria. From what I have read it requires a waiting period of at least 21 days.

Lawful Permanent Residents of the U.S. must present a Permanent Resident Card ("Green Card", INS Form I-551), a Reentry Permit (if gone for more than 1 year), or a Returning Resident Visa (if gone for 2 years or more) to reenter the United States.
I fully understand your point of view in this. You want to settle the issue with your spouse, find out what he has been doing with your social security number, etc. He does not receive extra money for disability based on being married as he did when he was active duty. He is within his rights to file his taxes as married although you should have been informed and agreed if he filed jointly.
The problem is you have been gone for five years. You do have the right to enter the US and maybe, if you are really lucky, you will sail right through inspection. Most likely you will be stopped and given a court date. The question becomes where would you stay, how would you support yourself, etc. If you can't provide an address they may place you in custody until your court date. The chances of you being readmitted are slim to none. Ignorance of the law is not an excuse.
Although you say you don't believe in divorce that seems to be the only solution. If he is receiving disability as his only source of income you will receive little from him. Disability pay cannot be awarded to the spouse.

"As a result of this ineligibility you cannot travel to the United States" Not sure what part of this is not clear.

Married for tax purposes is married on Dec. 31 of the year being filed for, not caring if you are married when you file.
Understand that immigration is a slow process. For a spousal visa you are looking at a year or more before the visa is issued, if he receives one.

The issue here I believe is the spouse doesn't want to add her to the policy because the rates will go up as she is a new driver. Every state and insurance company I lived in required us to list every licensed driver in the household. If he fails to do so and she is in an accident it could be, depending on the way the insurance is written, that she wouldn't be covered for the accident.
Bottom line, he needs to stop being cheap because it may cost him in the long run.

Get added to his insurance policy.
