I did not know my husband was illegal until after we got married.After marriage I had to become a mini-expert on immigration for our own case. But I don't know what the answer is for this situation. I filed all the papers.When his divorce papers came from Indonesia the dates overlapped. In other words he was still married to her when we married. My husband called someone in his country and we then received divorce papers that were set back one year. All the while he is professing his undying love for me. Well, as it turned out he had an anger problem only directed at me.He got the green card.His conditons were removed. More anger directed at me. And all the while I am thinking this is crazy and not love.I could not even be a wife.If I asked a question about anything, I was yelled at.All that mattered were his guy friends. And it was a lot worse than I can put here.5 yrs later he goes behind my back and applies for citizenship. I was never asked to fill out anything or sign anything. I went with him to the test interview and the lady asked with my husband standing right there how is the marriage. I was scared to say anything else so I told her fine.If she would have taken me to a private room I would have told her the truth.That he is a bully and everything has to be his way or no way. I put him out a few months before he went to the swearing in ceremony. Is there any way I can use fraud as grounds for divorce or annullment? Or who do I report this to so that he can not start bringing others to this country? He wanted a copy of our tax returns and I refused because he said he did not want the ones where I had crossed out my social security number.We never owned anything together. His choice not mine.I paid my own bills and mortgage,he paid his bills and gave me one paycheck a month and the other went to grown kids. We had a joint checking account which I never used only to satisfy INS.

I would just becareful, there are fines for fraudulent documents and you may be as responsible as him if you knew the divorce documents from overseas were fraudulent. Make sure you explain well that he did this himself and was bullying you into finalizing the marriage and his immigration documents.

You could also just divorce him and forget the whole thing, this happens a lot unfortunately and he may not necessarily lose his green card, but I'm sure he will be fined.
