Open Question: What if a US citizen reports you to USCIS for fraudulent marriage ?

21 November 2008, 7:29 am

I married my US husband because I was head over heels in love with him. I left Paris (France), a good job (teacher), sold my house, my car, etc. to move to the United States and start from scratch. Before and after we got married, he kept asking me money to pay this and that. Soon after we got married I filed to obtain a green card so that I would be able to look for a job. At the same, my husband started to act selfishly and to abuse me emotionally; he didn't miss one opportuinity to tell me I'm worthless, uninteresting and that men look at me just because I'm pretty but no one would stay with me for more than one night-stand. I ended up having a very low self-esteem because I had no friends to prove me I'm not that insignificant woman he convinced me I am. Until I started going out with one of his coworkers, a woman - not a man - and I am totally straight. She made me realize I am better than what he thinks about me and I started to feel better about myself. Little by little, I met other people and that made me feel more confident about myself, because I realized people like my company. It has never been for sex and I've never - not even in my wildest dreams - thought of cheating on my husband. One week ago, I found out he was making sexually explicit advances to a coworker and I finally left him. That was just the push I needed to stop his mental abuse. Instead of admitting his faults, he threatened me to report me to Immigration saying I married him only to obtain a green card. Is it really so easy to report a permanent resident to USCIS ? Or will he be asked to prove my bad faith ? Will I be heard by the HS Officer before they take action ? I have enough evidence to prove his infidelity (e-mail correspondance) and also that HE tricked me into this marriage to lay hold of my money just to abandon me when he got caught. We got married last April. And I'm lucky I found it out before it's too late. I don't want to go back to France because I have spent a lot of money and energy - not to mention the waste of time - to get settled in the States; I have a job here and, besides, I have nothing left in France, not even my family....
