Question:
What's the issue with a divorce
durring the 2 year card period?..
It's possible that I'm dealing with
a deceitful girl. Do they send her
back home or can they stay? AND
can they stay if the sponsor may
be convinced that "it was all for
the money and green card?
Answer:
1. From what I read, I don't think
it's hopeless for you and your wife
to stay together. I think you guys
got married without knowing each
other too well - it happens quite
often with international marriages.
You and your wife need to cool off,
then talk about what your goals
are and what her goals are. After
that it'll be more clear if you
both want to make the marriage work.
And then - BOTH YOU AND YOUR WIFE
(!) work on it, learn to compromise,
communicate.
2. WHere did
you get the idea that she can't
finance the car if she is not a
US citizen? One has nothing to do
with the other. I am not a citizen
either, and I've financed two cars
already.
3. She can
legally divorce you AND stay in
the US, if she proves that the marriage
was entered into in good faith,
but it just didn't work. There is
no need for her to claim and prove
abuse. Source: filing instructions
for I-751, petition for removal
of conditional status. Seek professional
help, legal or marrital, you choose.
Both of you are using the INS to
bludgeon each other. If you split
it won't matter what INS says to
either of you. It's not fair to
the forum to drag us into your marrital
mess. The scoop is that your wife
can file for removal of conditions
succesfully soon after you divorce.
She has to, however, prove to the
INS that she entered into the marriage,
in good faith and not to evade immigration
laws. She doesn't have to wait until
she completes the two years of conditional
residency. Read this link. http://www.kamya.com/intro/cpr.html#removal2
She would, quite possibly, have
to consult with an immigration lawyer.
Whether you
want to stay in this marriage or
not is a decision only you can make.
From your story it would appear
that she is in it for what she can
get materially and for the green
card. And quite possibly that she
doesn't care for you at all... which
really is the more important issue,
to my way of thinking...
1.) Did you
bring your wife over via fiancée
visa or spousal visa?
2.) What country
is she from?
3.) How long
did you know her before entering
into a committed relationship? 4.)
What service center did you send
in your application/petition to
bring her over?
It has been
my experience that if the process
you go through to be together with
your loved one is lengthy, your
relationship is tested daily. I
feel that if my relationship survives
this whole trying INS process, it
will be able to survive anything.
I definitely feel we will be coming
away from the whole experience knowing
each other better and bringing us
even closer (figuratively and literally)
to one another. If you really had
to struggle to be with your wife,
I have to wonder how it is that
you could know so little about her
true character?
