    I am divorcing my Immigrant husband before 1 yr anniversary
    He is on a Conditional Visa and we have filed for divorce based on IRRECONCIALABLE DIFFERENCES in New Jersey. Ours was never really a bona fide marriage since it always seemed he kept going back to his ex girlfriend. I cared about him and forgave him the first time but no more. We had a lease together and filed joint taxes. We also had a joint bank account that we hardly ever used along with our joint cell phone bills. That's it. We never purchased anything together and there are no credit card bills in our names. He has a few pictures of us with friends although we never traveled anywhere. I'm aware he can file a waiver if he can prove he married me in good faith...
    How can he prove this?

    Would all of the above I mentioned be sufficient for the Immigration officer to believe he married me in good faith?

    Can I do anything to let Immigration know that I believe he used me to be able to stay here?

    I would like to send a copy of our divorce papers along with a personal statement but will this remain in his file for the deciding Immigration officer to review along with whatever "proof" of "bonafide" marriage he decides to bring along?

    What if he remarries another US citizen?

    How tough will it be for him to prove his 2nd marriage is for real at that time?

    I guess I am so upset that I'd like for things to be more difficult for him. What do I do?

    Thank you

    At this point what you should do is send a letter to USCIS notify them of your divorce. Don't forget to mention Alien Registration Number in your statement.

    If you want to give him a hard time, report USCIS and do nothing. If you try to slam him through all concerned agencies, they might be convinced that he is a victim of domestic abuse... and he will be granted a permanent resident status easily.

    Hi and thank you for your help. I called USCIS and they told me I can't do anything at this point. He will have to file a waiver and hope that he can prove he married me in good faith. What I'd like to know is what specifically they will take into account from our marriage that may convince them he wasn't just using me. They told me I need do nothing. They will find out we divorced when he files for a waiver.

    Hmmm... Can I report him for working with a fake Social Security #? He did that for several years and then he quit his job and when he got a real SS# he went back to his old job and they rehired him at a new location (same company) under his NEW & DIFFERENT social security #...

    Reporting him on using fake SSN may sound good if you want to get a revenge but be careful as you might be charged of conspiracy since you knew it long time ago. If I were you, I would not do it... unless someone else reports him to the authority.

    How about when he tries to travel for the holidays this year (by then the divorce will be completed). He wants to visit his family but will he be able to return safely? I'm assuming his Conditional Visa will still be good at that time.
