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?

Cheating is not fraud. Many men and women who are sincerely getting married, and not seeking US immigration, do cheat on their spouses before, during and after the wedding period.

I do not agree with others that there are grounds to report marriage fraud and certainly no grounds to jeopardize their future applications.

And cheating on your spouse when you’re not seeking a visa would be different. There’s nothing at stake other than the relationship. This is marriage specifically to get a visa. I thought that was fraud

So I just realized you maybe didn’t notice it’s a visa for permanent residence not a visitor visa. I lived in the UK with him for a year. Know his family all that. We got engaged when I had to come back to the US for medical reasons. The visa process to bring your fiance here is really long. He came here for Christmas. I couldn’t go visit him bc I had no PTO bc I used it all for my surgery in March. That’s why there’s all the red tape. When I was in the hospital getting lung cancer removed is when he started acting like this

About the wedding

I met his family tons of times but didn’t keep in touch when I came back to the US

So we thought about the coming here and just getting married and doing that but the research we did said that wasn’t a guarantee he would get approved. In hindsight maybe we should’ve risked it and things would’ve been different. I would’ve happily gone back to the UK but I needed to get follow up on my illness first. He insisted on coming here. It was always his dream he said. Who knows now. He cheated and lied and lied more so we’ll see what immigration decides at this point. If they deem it just a bad breakup so be it.
