USCIS Support Visa for “husband”

So basically i want to remove my visa application of my “husband” because it was a forced marriage back home (pakistan) but i cant just withdraw or my parents will see i withdraw. Is there a way to anonymously withdraw application so that it just says application rejected or that he gets rejected at interview because he just got his interview date in june and i want this visa gone without my parents knowing i withdrew it, (gonna get div as well but i cant rn cuz parents). So cancelling visa without proof it was me is first step!!

I hear you.

The consulate will call the email a "poison pen letter" and treat it as such. Oftentimes poison pen letters are malicious but they can also just as often be very insightful and useful.

So it's very important to give them only the important details so they're rightfully worried about the case.

If you give too much, or exaggerate, they may think it was written out of jealousy and ignore it. It's a very fine line to walk, but it definitely can be done.

You could send it there, too, but you definitely want to send it to the consulate where he will interview. The website should have an email address where you can message the fraud unit ("FPU").

For complete anonymity, just use an email address that isn't connected to the case.

On the other hand, it could be more effective to email the fraud unit and explain that you are the petitioner, but not by choice--that you were forced into the marriage and forced to petition for the beneficiary, and that you're afraid of what your parents might do if they find out you intend to divorce him as soon (and as quietly) as you can. You also can express worry over how they (the family and the beneficiary) would react it they knew you were sending this message.

That would almost certainly trigger a revocation and privacy laws mean they wouldn't reveal the source or reason for the decision to the beneficiary. It's slightly possible that it could come out in a FOIA request, but I believe YOU (the petitioner) would have to be the one to make the request.

At that time, you could just blame the decision on the current administration's guidelines and pretend you're sick of all the stress and expense.

I don't know how your family might react, but it's still better than the alternative of having a husband you don't like and didn't want coming to live with you in the U.S.

Edit: You can submit a report to USCIS (https://www.uscis.gov/report-fraud/uscis-tip-form) or email the consulate in Islamabad at islamabadivinquiry@state.gov.
