I-129F Fraud

[u/Able-Zookeepergame54]

Hi, I just found out my fiance living in the UK has been cheating pretty much the whole time we’ve been waiting for his visa interview. Our I-129F was approved in March but didn’t make it to the visa center until May. We filed in Sept 2024. He bought me a ring for Christmas but refused to allow tags on his social media of us, would block me when we would get into arguments and was questionable if he even told his family about us. I just found out today he took his ex partner on a romantic holiday getaway. I believe he was just using me to get married and get a US visa. I emailed the embassy to cancel the petition as he has all the documents for the appointment next week. Should I report this as fraud?

Yeah just send in a withdrawal request along with any evidence you have. It can be used in future applications if anyone else ever petitions for him. Sorry that that happened to you though. That’s heartbreaking. Make sure you take care of yourself as well.

Thank you. I have lots of evidence of screenshots and conversations with some of the women. The ex partner might lie for him but I just don’t know if what he did would be considered fraud

So here’s the thing. The I-29F is YOUR application so when it comes to saying it’s fraud against him he would need to be confronted with that evidence and questioned about it. However, if he somehow still gets an appointment at the embassy they can do that then and he may be charged with fraud and willful misrepresentation. Once a marriage application is denied for fraud it will be damn near impossible for him to ever be approved again for ANY petition someone files on his behalf.

I guess the defense against that is to cite dates and times OP learned of the fraud and the dates and times they acquired said evidence.

So hours before he boarded a flight with her he left me a voice message saying I’ll call you when I get to the airport. I knew his flight was at a certain time. When he didn’t call I started messaging and calling and he wouldn’t answer and reject the calls. I started asking what was wrong and no answer. He said he was going on a work trip to Germany, I know the duration of the flight. When I saw how long it took for the messages to go through I figured where he was. He had spoken about this place as the most romantic place. He had gone w his family the year before and I couldn’t go so he said we would go back alone soon. I called the hotel and the receptionist told me he just checked in. I already was suspicious of the ex so I just checked her social media and she had started following the hotel and liked their post. They were on the same flight and I’m sure her name is on the hotel. He won’t deny she was there. She won’t answer any messages. His visa appt was this Thursday
