At this point I'm not sure what to do anymore so if anyone can please help me I would sincerely appreciate it.

I married a girl who was an illegal immigrant from Romania, she has been here illegally for close to 10 years. We married 5 months after we met and we had our USCIS Interview in August of 2013. On September 20th she received her Green Card and on September 29th 2013 she never came home. 2 days later I had a police man come to my home and serve me with a Restraining order, the order stated that I "abused" her. At that moment in my life I think I could have walked out into the street and a bus could have hit me and I would have understood what happened better then this. I was in complete shock and I still am. Please keep in mind this is 2 WEEKS after she got her 2 Year Green Card. I should also mention that she emptied out our bank account and has left me with no money.

Once this happened my family came over to my house and we went through her things and computer and found many items I did not know existed. She had a Photo-Shopped Social Security Card, W2 work records for the last 5 years, Drivers License from another state. She also collected Unemployment. These are all things she lied about on her USCIS Application. Since then I have contacted I.C.E and I am waiting for them to call me back so they can investigate her for lying on the Application. I also visited USCIS and they made copies of all the documents. I also filed a fraud Annulment against her and our court hearing is in 45 days for the Restraining order and also the Annulment. I can not afford a Lawyer and I am afraid of what this woman can do to me further. She was married before and she paid the man $5,000 dollars to marry her, I have pictures of the fake wedding and her Boyfriend at the time is also in the pictures at the wedding. She also tried to give the man fake abuse charges but failed.

There is so much more to this story, its insane and I am the most confused man in the world right now and I have no Idea how I allowed this to happen.

What else can I do to get help? Who Can I Contact or is there forms I can fill out with USCIS? My Mother was an Immigrant and I support immigration but I do not support FRAUD!

Thank You.
 
Looks like you have some solid evidence against her. Your case is not the common situation where an angry USC spouse is trying to take revenge after a failed marriage (such cases are routinely ignored by USCIS).

Did she disclose the prior marriage on the green card application, or is this the first time you're finding out about it? She was supposed to list prior marriages on form G-325A. If she didn't, that's another reason why she'll get deported or at least fail to extend the 2-year card.

Seems like you've done just about all you can do. Prepare the evidence for ICE and let them do their job.
 
Just an Update. She lost her case against me for the Restraining order. It cost me $6000,00 dollars in lawyers fee's just for that. I am now going to pursue the Fraud Annulment. The Judge saw right through her.

As an immigrant woman who was a domestic violence victim in the past and has seen the impact a law like VAWA has had in saving the lives of many abused immigrant women and children, I do not consider my post innapropriated.

If it is deemed so by a moderator feel free to delete it. It is my opinion that VAWA was created for a reason and in my experience a lot of abusive spouses use immigration threats to intimidate women into staying and taking any kind of treatment. Otherwise the law would have not been created.

I apologize if my post offended anyone, but it is just my opinion. If I am ingringing the tou of the board, please have a mod send me a pm or taking my post down. Otherwise, it is just my opinion, nothing more.

VAWA is certainly a very necessary law, nobody is disputing that.

But if the facts are as the OP described (and at this point we have no information that indicates otherwise), then describing his behavior as revenge and suggesting that a restraining order against him was necessary is an unjustified personal attack that does not belong in this forum.

Spending $6K on a lawyer to lift a restraining order is hardly excessive given what lawyers charge these days even for a simple consultation, let alone for a court appearance and preparing legal paperwork.

It may or may not be correct that there is more to the story than the OP provided in his post. But in the absence of information to the contrary, we have to give the OP the benefit on the doubt here.
 
As i said, if you deem my post innapropriate feel free to report it. Imo the behavior of the op seems to me more innapropriated than my post. In my experience most women take on a RO because of a reason.

Moderators, if effectively my opinion violates the terms if use if this website, please feel free to take any measure you deem necessary, including deleting my post or revoking my privilege to post. Otherwise, i just stated my opinion based on my extended experience with RO. This is my last contribution to this thread.

I did report it and I hope the moderators will follow up.

Being accused of domestic violence does not automatically make one guilty of it, and you can't base conclusions about the OP's culpability based on statistics. That's especially the case here since apparently the judge, after examining the facts, saw it fit to lift the restraining order.

Implying that the OP is guilty of domestic violence is not "just expressing an opinion", it is a specific personal attack directed at a specific poster. That's inappropriate and uncalled for.
 
Just to be clear here: Im a Citizen of the United States and I was born here in America. My mother was an Illegal Immigrant who was Abused, she was beaten so badly by a man when I was a child that I will NEVER get those images out of my head. I also Support Vawa very much for women who use it for the right reasons. I had no idea what was going on and Ive never even new what a restraining order was exactly except for seeing them on TV in movies.

This was not revenge, even now I do not want her to be in any harms way, its not how I was raised. But the truth of the matter is that I had no idea who this woman was and based on the evidence we have now we all believe that her and her boyfriend were the masterminds of this and he was directing her the whole time she was with me. I truly thought this woman loved me, I had no idea that anything was wrong, I was excited to have a wife and finally start a family.

Even if she gets deported or becomes a citizen, it is no concern of mine. My heart is broken in ways that you can't imagine. I married someone who i thought was real and they turned out to be a fraud. I want no revenge, I want to have my name off as her sponsorship and I want to move on with my life. That is all I want, nothing more.
