My spouse received a conditional green card upon marriage and then left the household.
After marrying, I sponsored my spouse for a conditional green card. I was told the money should be held jointly, so I did that, but they withdrew all $30,000 from the account and left the house right after receiving the conditional green card. Since then, they’ve kept saying they’ll come back, dragging things out, occasionally meeting outside — a lot of time has passed, over a year now. I’ve now received divorce papers, but things aren’t progressing well. This feels like marriage fraud at this point. Can I report this as immigration fraud?
If you write a letter to USCIS explaining the situation and file a report, it should be included as part of an investigation. As for the financial loss, you don’t need to file a separate civil lawsuit — you can include that as part of the divorce proceeding.
