After four years in a committed relationship, my partner married a girl behind my back for the sole purpose of obtaining immigration benefits. The marriage and I-140 spouse filing happened in early 2004. I don't have exact dates on I-140 approval and I-485 filing, but the green card was issued in mid 2005, so it is presumably a conditional one. I did not find out about all of this until it was too late. He has spent almost every day with me since this happened and doesn't seem to be concerned at all about building false evidence to support the marriage. They don't meet, rarely call, don't go on vacation together, etc. I don't have much more information since he continues to hide as much of this from me as he can.
I have endured this daily torture for more than a year. I want to report this to the USCIS so that I can go on with my life. I have the following questions:
(1) Is there any point reporting this, or is the USCIS just going to let it fall under the table?
(2) Is the burden of proof on me (bring evidence), or is it sufficient to point the USCIS in the right direction?
(3) If I need to provide evidence and the USCIS discloses it to my partner, then he will know who tipped them off and I will need to fear for my health since he is violent. If the USCIS determines that he committed immigration fraud, will they give him detailed reasons such as "here are the phone bills, photos, witness reports, etc that show that you were in a relationship with someone other than your wife" or just say "not a bona fide marriage"? Is there any provision in the law that can protect me, such as requiring the USCIS not disclose evidence provided by me?
(4) I obtained an EB3 green card after five years of hard work in mid 2005. From the fraud report, the USCIS will know that the relationship started prior to this point. Do I need to fear consequences for my permanent resident status or my future citizenship application if the USCIS finds out about my sexual orientation through this fraud report?
Thanks for your help. I know that some of you would just recommend letting it go without making a report, but I have tried that for a long time and it doesn't work. My only way out is to do this and go on with life.
