    Please help. I am a victim of fraud
    I have a problem. I found out that a fraudalent petition for my wife's immigrant visa was signed in my name. I gave no consent for the submission of the petition. My signature was forged.

    My wife and I were married April 1999. We separated December 2000. Ever since the separation we haven't been living together.

    2 days ago I receive the DS-230 form, which one of her family members dropped off at my parents house, which I was told to sign. I was surprised because I never submitted any petition papers. I refused to sign it, made copies of the form and returned them.

    I learned from immigration forums online that the DS-230 is like the last step before the interview to get the immigrant visa. I also learned that I don't need to sign the DS-230 form. Why was I shown the form? So that my wife's family can get me angry because they used me and I didn't even know about it and I can't stop it now? Can I stop this petition? My wife is just using me to get an immigrant visa. Please help me...

    Report it
    Contact the immigration dept and tell them you never sent the original form, nor did you sign it. Tell them everything you just posted.

    Mr. Yet is right on the money here.

    Call up the US Immigration office and tell them all of this. Your wife (exwife) is looking at fraud charges as well. This might even get her deported.

    When my wife and I went through the final interview process, both of us had to be present. We had to show that we had "a marriage." We were to bring pictures of us doing things together. I would think that if you are not present and she can not provide any proof that "a marriage" exists, she would be denied permanent residence status. Unfortunately, INS will not give you any information about the status of her petition.

    Contact an attorney. Contact your local congressman/woman ask them to submit a letter with your complaint to immigration. This may help. Good luck when sending your complaint be specific an give details.
