Hello all,

I got married and sponsor my wife in us, but she just used me to get a green card. Her green card is valid for 2 years since last August.
I filed for the annulmant and won the case.
I did request INS to withdraw I-130 for about 6 months, but I heard nothing from them. I don't know where & how to report her because I don't want to be in trouble if they found out about her status.
I am no longer respond for her any more. She is living with her sister now.
TIA,
Guest

Why should you get into trouble, the marriage has been annulled, it's over. When she goes to apply to have the conditions removed on her GC you won't be there to say that you have a good solid marriage will you? so she'll probably be deported IF she applies to have conditions removed.

I would not get someone deported.

I would just ask that she gets her final papers then we leave each other peacefully.

Never hurt anyone permanently.

Guest, I am very sorry to hear about your situation. I hope you soon find the right person for you who will love you for who you are.

Its funny - for me an illegal man much younger than me ended up being the right one, after being married 10 years to a usc with whom I had everything in common (everything but worldview and personality, anyway). This is a strange world - anyway, I wish you all the best.

If she only married for a GC then the law states she be deported. "Guest's" marriage didn't end amicably, why should he help someone who has used him, it's not necessarily malice on Guest's part- the marriage is over, he doesn't owe her anything. Other marriages may be genuine but just not work out, but the exes remain friends and the USC is still willing to help out their ex obtain a GC.

I don`t think this fellow, guest, is telling the truth. Even if he did, then he got laid several times and he should be greatful that someone putout for a stupid USC such as he is, and help her get her GC.

When an american says that someone cheated him or her for GC that is bull. Most likely this fellow went along her plan, if he had not suggested it himself in order to get laid, or tied to trick her into a marriage for a long time, which no girl would want with a slob like him. He could not keep her any longer so he is trying to screw her status.

I hope that although she got married to this slob, she never actually putout for him. Not anything more that let him eat her once in a fortnight, just to keep in interested. I think that if this is the case, then this stupid slob finally got the clue that he is actully being had big time. Still, I hope she gets her papers and this fellow never gets laid except with hookers.

Every USC who marries someone from out should ensure they get the person a GC. When you lay down with s'one, why not just help them? I just dont get it,unless you have no respect for your bodies.

There's more to marriage than ***. Hopefully the person you marry is your best friend, a person you can trust, laugh with, cry with and be happy with whatever you are doing together - whether it's in the bedroom (or wherever :)) or not.

I don't know how you can withdraw I-130 petition once it is approved already because you said that she got her temp. residency. You can write to INS whatever you want, but it doesn't mean that they will entertain your request.

People are confused when they think that they can control I-130 or somebody's immigration life. The truth is I-130 is just a petition to verify the validity or legitimacy of the relationship, and once it is approved then it means INS officer got convinced that marriage is bonafide. You had your chance to withdraw it before it is processed, and now you can not withdraw being it's approved and you can not do anything to deport her or revoke her immigrant visa. I'm personally aware of so many similar cases wherein USC spouses did everything in their power to deport their alien spouses but they were never able to succeed.

I'm very surprised how you are able to obtain annulment or why she did not contest this annulment, but I'm pretty sure that she might not aware of the consequences of annulment as a immigration point of view at the time of annulment, otherwise she would have contested it very strongly. However, I'm sure that she is not that stupid and will fight for her green card based on truth or lie [whatever it takes] becasue if she won't get p.residency then she would be ordered to leave the United States within 90days and if she won't, then she would be placed on deportation proceeding. I believe that she probably has already consulted with attorneys for her options. She still can get her full residency even if you guys are not together or your marriage has annulled, but it depends which attorney she consulted. If I were her attorney, I can help her to get residency without your help or knowledge.

I personally won't jeopordize somebody's chance to be legal here, but if you really want her to be deported then you should write to local INS office and INS Service Center about the annulment of marriage, but make sure that you provide them her A# and the annulment decree then she can never get green card based on this marriage because annulment means there was never a valid marriage, but it all also depends on what is the ground upon which annulment is granted, otherwise you can not stop her to receive p.residency whether you like it or not.

Do you know that she can manufacture lots of documented grounds to get her p. residency without your knowledge and INS will never tell you anything, because they are not supposed to tell you and you are not allowed to ask them anything about your wife's case. I do know that it hurts very bad when female cheat on their men during the relationship but then it goes vice versa too. It might not be the case in your situation, but sometimes it's better to move on, rather than holding animosity against each other. Peace to all.

Looking at this, I wonder if "Guest" is asking is he still financially responsible (re: I-864) for his ex-wife now that the marriage is annulled? Is he? - just curious.
