Loosing hope, need help. GC thru Marriage. at point of divorce!

I like your idea about going on welfare austriacus. :) many ideas like that have also come to my mind in which I can be trouble for them, but I know that you are joking and I will also not do anything to cause them trouble. I just want this to get done with so I can move on with my life and she can with hers.

I will start collecting all documents and other kinds of evidence that can show this marriage was in good faith. It is a good idea to get it all now and have it organized so I can be prepared at a later time.

The reason for annulment is strange, but it is also a little culturally that in future when she marries someone else, her family would not like to expose that she was married earlier. In our culture it is sometimes looked down upon. Its a cultural thing some people bring it with them to US and some leave it behind. Just depends.

I did not think about the I-864 until it was mentioned by lardbird, I would like to know will I be required to find someone else who can fill the I-864 and show financial support if I get the divorce, or will the I-864 signed by her parents be enough and another I-864 will not required? If someone can shed some light on this subject. I do not think that financial obligation is the reason that they do not want to help me. They just do not want to help me because they feel like I have cheated them and not kept their daughter happy. I believe that I have done everything possible to make this marriage work, but due to difference we were not able to keep each other happy and it was not going to be healthy in the long run. I could have continued the marriage a couple more years and survived and got my paper work taken care but I did not want to play with her life and also did not want to suffer mentally for two more years. I hope they can understand that not all stories have a happy ending. But regardless I am trying to push for a divorce and hoping that I can get it started soon. Also I asked a lawyer and he said that 2 years of marriage was a long time and that I could not get the marriage annuled because it has been 2 years already.

I have a question regarding divorce, If they do not file for divorce and I decide to file for divorce so that the divorce proceedings can start before it gets too late, does that look bad on my side. What I mean to ask is that does it matter who files for divorce in the eyes of the USCIS. Is is better if the US citizen wants divorce or can either party ask for divorce?

Thank you all once again. I really sincerely appreciate the input that you all have provided me with. Thank you.
 
I would think either party can start the divorce. Either way, you will have plenty of time to explain in your cover letter to USCIS with your I-751.

As far as the I-864 goes... no, you do not need to find another person to sign the I-864. Your current sponsor and co-sponsors are legally bind, to this contract, for the next 10 years or until you become an US Citizen or if you leave this country for good, whatever happens first.

They are not "supposed" to support you. Meaning you can not collect money from them (except for maybe, spousal support?). But if you go on welfare and any government assisted aid. The government will hold them responsible and may ask them to pay back.
 
Hi, My name is Julia and I am going almost through the same situation like you do with your wife. Well I got married sep.2006 and got my 2year GC in oct. 2007, but now we are filing for divorce. Unfortunatelly, his family never accepted me and always bugged him and me because of cultural differences (he is Egyptian and I am Europian--so we had huge difference and problem --Religion, that he did not want to comprimize), so we are divorcing now. Thank you , because your issue and all these people help me to get the idea as well of what is going on. well my situation is that I will get divorce a year before my second Interview, so i am little bit scared of not being approved. I am just wandering how many chances of getting still aproved while filling a waiver? and what other options since i have time) do i have, what else can be done to keep my legal status. Thank you everybody ;)

No need to hijack someone else's thread, you already started one and people are responding there.

Also, is not a good idea to post your email address here.
