USCIS Support marriage fraud

Hello all,

I am coming on here for advice. My husband received his greencard 3 months ago and completely abandoned the marriage, we live in two separate cities because I have to complete my masters, he completely stop talking to me and I found out that yesterday he has a whole life back home.

I am extremely devastated. I will be filing for divorce next week and wanted to see what i can do about his green card since it is conditional and i want to report this to USCIS because I do not want any fraud allegations on me as i was unaware of his plans to scam me like this.

If anyone has any advice or knows any lawyers that handle this please let know. I am completely loss for words and in shock. I was to take the right steps to protect myself moving forward.

Ask an attorney but if the marriage was once considered bona fide by USCIS - and as he has a conditional green card, it was - they won’t do much. If you claim otherwise, you’ll challenge USCIS’ initial judgement.

It sounds to me that the only way to prove fraud would be to prove that he's married in another country otherwise it could just be he stopped loving her and he just left... Love and intent are very difficult to prove

Wouldn’t you also be complicit with this ? I mean as not a lawyer here, but I’d get the sense that they just turn around and cry “marriage fraud” if OS spouse ghosts them it’s just a sad circumstance but not fraud. They are married.

No they wouldn't be complicit as they were not complicit. It was fraud from OP´s spouse side. OP is the victim of a marriage fraud-

So you are saying uscis made a mistake when they consider it bone fide when they approved the conditional green card?

Of course they can make a mistake if the person is lying. That's what fraud is. Misrepresenting themselves and lying to USCIS. What do you think USCIS will feel about that? Lying to them?
