I had a friend, she came to the U.S by marrying a U.S citizen and paying him. They live in two different states. The guy lives in California and she lives in Nevada. She is working full time and licensed to work as a nurse. How do I go on reporting her? She acts like what she did was the right thing. And causing trouble to married man at work and breaking families.

This is an Immigration question, not a question about marriage, and I have asked that it be moved.

What is your interest in all of this? She is "dating" your husband and breaking up your family?

Your husband (if this is about you) owes you loyalty and took an oath to love you. She owes you nothing and she's not the enemy. I'd speak directly to your husband.

Causing problems for other people in order to ease your pain never works - it's called revenge and it can come back to bite you.

Contact Immigration if you must but I wouldn't expect that they will pay any attention to you unless you have proof that she paid him. Plenty of couples in this economy live apart.

Moved from Marriage to Immigration Law.

Seems to be a lot of questions in the immigration forum dealing with the topic of reporting someone to the immigration authorities. I, like others, question the motive behind such queries as it usually turns out to be a jilted lover or something.

Honestly, immigration has their own department for tracking this type of fraud, I'd not expect them to act on every tip they receive from someone that has an ulterior motive to 'assisting' immigration with doing their job. I'd suspect you'd receive the same anser I'd give - mind your own business.

Unfortunately - or fortunately - there will not be a "mind your own business" response. The response will be more along the lines of, "Thank you" followed by a total disregard of the info.

- I'm ex-US Customs and we got tips all the time, 99% of which we disregarded. The intent (as I believe it is here) was usually very apparent.

We can not and should not question motives here. If we find that a certain type of question is asked frequently, we can give a link to it.

INS won't toss someone out on just the word of an anonymous tip alone. It however can initiate a closer look in that case.

Marriage fraud IS grounds to revoke a green card, trust me its on the application forms so should not be a surprise to anyone caught. And they (the INS) will investigate it before they do anything. Assuming they actually do anything in the first place.

I've filled out those forms for my wife... I've sat in the numerous interviews etc. up to and including the naturalization ceremony.

Motivations have no factor on what happens. What they do or not is based on the merits of what they discover. And living in different states isn't hard to prove, Between banks, the Employer and SSI, they can figure out if they aren't living in the same state pretty easy.

I could argue the fact that questioning motives is not an important factor, or rather, very relevant to the responses some of us may give.

Being in the field myself, I'd never disregard information or ignore motives as a basis for commencing an application or request to have an individual removed.

However, I'm cool with what you guys say:)

We never require a "reason" for asking a question, however if there is "good reason" (based on the verbiage of the question) to believe that the motive is questionable, then we can simply ask.

But I digress. This is the sort of issue that we should be discussing on another board.

From here on out, in this thread, let's stick to bhull's issue.

I just opened a discussion thread - any takers? https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/other-member-discussions/does-intent-matter-when-question-asked-501433.html
