Hello All

I am an indian who got married to American citizen and came to USA on CR1 visa in Aug 2014.

Husband has been forcing me and my family to pay him money and have his name added to my salary accounts and make other financial investment since then.

As I did not give in to his demands, he is not willing to apply jointly for removal of my conditions on CR1 visa (marriage based green card).

Can somebody please help me on this?

1. Can I file for waiver without applying for divorce?

2. Can my company apply for H1b visa and get me stay in USA on H1 visa?

3. Is there any other way to save GC?

Thank you for any inputs!

God bless you.

Someone who is not even willing to support removal of your conditions is not worth staying married to. The foundation of marriage is not slavery and threats.

Divorce and move on. Sort out the immigration issues separately. Don't accept this type of behavior.

Which is more important to you? The green card may be acquired without the marriage. All the questions you asked pertain to the GC so I'm guessing that's more important to you.

It's difficult for anyone on this forum to give you marital advice on so little info. Talk to someone close, a friend, coworker, or your priest. Alternatively, there are many posts discussing divorce waivers and the GC.

Good luck.

The OP is probably undergoing a stressful situation. There's not enough details to judge her intentions or the other side of the story. Kindness is in order.

Sometimes harsh reality is more important than kindness

Hello All

I am an indian who got married to American citizen and came to USA on CR1 visa in Aug 2014.

Husband has been forcing me and my family to pay him money and have his name added to my salary accounts and make other financial investment since then.

As I did not give in to his demands, he is not willing to apply jointly for removal of my conditions on CR1 visa (marriage based green card).

Can somebody please help me on this?

1. Can I file for waiver without applying for divorce?

2. Can my company apply for H1b visa and get me stay in USA on H1 visa?

3. Is there any other way to save GC?

Thank you for any inputs!

God bless you.

On the contrary, questions I have are

1. Did he share his income with you and have put your name in his bank accounts?

2. Did he put you as a beneficiary in any insurances?

3. Did he provide for you and for your child(ren) when you have no job / no income?

4. Did he share the property he own with you?

If he did all that for you, don't you think it's only natural for you to return all the favors to him as a couple when you have an income?

If he didn't do any of these for you, I agree with other posters and get a divorce and get a GC under ROC on your own.

Marriage is my priority but parallel I have many responsibilities to be taken care of and hence GC is important as well, as my job is dependent on it.

I spoke to his relatives, marriage counselor and friends. Misunderstanding and money matters brought us at this stage.

Thank you all for your suggestions. God bless you all :)
