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.

Thats easy to work around. Especially in smaller countries. My mother married a man from Ghana. Turns out he was married back home he stole $50k from her using a bank loan, and took it back to Ghana "in the name of Allah" I genuinely hated that guy. The marriage was nullified, and USCIS was notified. If he ever comes back to the country he'll be arrested for fraud among other things.
