Hi,

Here is the background
I am a married man with a kid (kid born in USA). I came to USA on H1B then got married and brought my wife on H4. Then I filed her GC and now we both are on EAD. And our priority date is already passed, so at any moment we can get GC. My wife doesn’t work. I have given her complete freedom, car, credit card, mobile also she don't do any house work or cooking for me. But I have no problem with that as far as she lives nicely and takes care of baby.

Lately she is behaving wearied. She called police twice without any reason, police came and asked her what has happened but she had no reason so they simply went back. Actually we even don't talk but she always threatens me that she will file a complaint against me, for no reason. Initially I took it lightly but when she said that she will file complaint against my parents (they are here now but they don't talk to her or interact with her) So I was thinking before it get worst, what if I remove the affidavit of support for her GC?
Do I need a reason for this?
How it will impact to my GC processing?
Is there any way I can deport her from US?

I appreciate your suggestions and help in this regard.

Thanks

This is a very tricky situation. Don't loose emotions and don't use any physical force on her. Try to seek marriage counselling. The reason , I am writing you is because I had a similar experience in the past.
 
The fact that you and your parents don't talk to her is probably aggravating the situation. A lot of women feel lonely and have problems adjusting in a new country and maybe overwhelmed with a baby. You need to talk to your wife and try to find out why she is so unhappy. There really isn't much you can do about stopping her GC or having her deported. Think about the baby and try to work it out instead of ignoring her (women hate that!)
 
The fact is she don't talk to anybody. If she talks and tell her concerns then the problem will not be there. We don't ignore her, she does it.
And we are still togather because of a baby, otherwise....

I talked to her, her and my friends talked to her but she don't listen to anybody. She denied to go to the counselor. What else I can do?
 
In that case you should not do anything or create a situation that involves the police, until your GC arrives. Any police report of abusive or domestic violence can greatly impact your GC situation or affect your citizenship in the future. Perhaps her intentions will become clear after her GC arrives. The last resort of course is to file for a divorce but it is in your best interest to keep the situation stable until GC arrives. There are a lot of South Asian women's organizations that can help her but it may not neccessarily be in your favour to contact them. You need to protect yourself from false accusations. First you need to keep a true diary of any threats from her. Perhaps you should mention to your doctor that you are stressed out because your wife is unable to adjust in your marriage. Do not go into too may details at this time, you just need a record of events for your own safety. Once you get your GC you can get your doctor involved. Perhaps she needs medical help.
 
To be frank, I don't want to take any action against her, but want she
should behave nicely and stay togather. If she has any problem she should
discuss, as being 3.5 yrs with her, most of the times I did everything from cooking to house cleaning, yard word to my job. But still she is not happy....

There is no law which will tell how to leave togather but yes if you get seperated then earning spouse has to take care of other partner.... strange...

Anyway, still my question is not answered.
What if I withdraw the support of affidavit? How it will affect my GC processing? What will happen to her GC? Will she be deported?
 
You can't withdraw your affidavit of support at any stage and you cannot have her deported. Once the paperwork is filed you can't take it back. Immigration dept has better things to do than to go back to your file and ammend it. Don't mess with your paperwork and wait for your GC. She may or may not get her GC at the same time as you, but in any case you can do nothing about it. Contact a divorce lawyer and find out what your liabilities will be. I don't believe you are responsible for paying for her expenses if you get divorced but you will have to pay for your baby's upkeep. Find out what you can from a divorce lawyer without discussing her GC status as these are 2 separate issues. As far as I know if you guys came on H1 visas and then got your GC's then there is no conditional requirement and the GC is permanent for both of you. For other people where the GC is conditional then sometimes women have been known to use domestic violence and police records as a way of keeping their GC status. Maybe your wife has been misinformed by someone that she must behave in this manner in order to keep her GC!
