HI All,
I see that your discussion try to be fair. My question is concerns doutful marriage.

I married my husband in 07/02 after 1.5 years of communication. Took IRS until 11/02 to send SS# due to security clearence, husband was fustrated that he had not been able to work during this time and wanted to go to another state to find work where he had friends to help. Left for other state in 12/02 and recieved news of family member passing away within days of departing. Returned in 1/03 for interview and lost EAD so replied. Family called to say mother needed kidney transplant surgery so we got loan for him to return to home county in 4/03. Returned to our home 6/03 and said he needed to get work in other state because it would take to long to wait for employment here 7/03. I visited for 10 tens 8/03 agreeing husband would return in couple months to pay off loan family members gave while in home country. From this point it goes down hill.

Husband did not return stating weather conditions and holidays would make it hard to find work (never drove in snow). He stated that wife should not work while husband stays home. Agreed to let him return in 1/04 as my work requiements had changed along with taking courses for certifcation and completetion of internship. Husband called to say that mother was exteremly ill in 01/04 so he needed more time to for cost of trip to home country and would come to me before going to home country, but needed copy of Conditional Status Letter so things would move quickly. In 02/04 when I got another story that he was not going to home country because mother was better, I requested he return or I would consult a lawyer. He did not so I consulted lawyer - advise to give him a timeframe to return, if not file for divorce.

After months of arguing on over the phone, I told him I wanted a divorce because neither was he supporting our house hold but was not helping with bills here. After stating my income was enough to take care of all that, was threatened that he would say I married just to help him get status. I filed for divorce, sent letters to BCIS in both states with copies job offers here he claimed he could not take due to mothers illness and airline tickets he cancelled. After filing for divorce heard from a matual friend that his mother was not ill and making plans to travel here.

Have finally recieved divorce but not heard from BCIS. I could not transfere to other state based on commentment of internship and husband work is not enough to sustain bills we have without my income. In your opinions was this marriage fraud?

Sounds like we married the same guy. Is he from Pakistan?
