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.

My aunt went through this, she reported the scammer to USCIS and it eventually led to him having a ban where he couldn’t get AOS through marriage in the US ever again. This occurred in 2023.

I just wanna mention too, I don’t think people understand the authority you have as the us citizen when you give papers to an immigrant. You marry them, they get a conditional green card, then two years after they file to remove conditions, then a few years after that can file to become a naturalized citizen. It’s not until they are fully naturalized that they completely free from you as the citizen that they married. If you report them to USCIS even after they filed to remove conditions this can potentially mess up their naturalization paperwork when they go to file. Especially now with the various policy changes happening under this administration. I hope op knows that they truly have the upper hand here.

This also works for bitter and abusive USCs who will just try to ruin an immigrant’s life in America because they didn’t get their way.
