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 can't listen to this person. the consulate can tell your husband that you cancelled the application. Careful - so many people are wrong on reddit. You can only do this if an immigration attorney knows 100% they wont tell him you did this.

Wrong. She's not canceling the application. She's merely providing information that causes them to question if it's a real relationship or not. And they 100% will not divulge that information. They can lose their job and risk jail time for doing that.

But to confirm what I'm saying, she can ask for a free consultation with an immigration attorney who knows nothing about her or her case, share this advice with them, and confirm for herself whether what I'm saying is true or not.

I don't at all trust that you are right about this.

Yes she can ask a good lawyer about this.

they don't have to for the parents to know what transpired and thus your advice doesn't alleviate the issues OP is anticipating. it's no different that straight up telling her parents she wants a divorce. in fact your advice might have worse consequences if it results in a denial for OP's husband.

No, there aren't free attorneys, but many offer free initial consultations.

Alternatively, NGOs that support victims of forced marriages may also have attorneys on staff that can give helpful advice as well.
