ImmigrationFraudVictims

I didn’t sleep at all last night. I was having flash-backs, nightmares, images and the same thoughts over and over.

I think it is just amazing how federal money destroyed my life…

She married me just so she could get legal papers for her and her children to stay in this country. We got married on August 27 and since then the relationship deteriorated so rapidly. I knew something was totally wrong.

On November 27, exactly 3 months later I had to ask her to look for another place to stay. The next day she went to the police and the police escorted her back to the house. On December 1st I filed for divorce.

I was convinced the divorce was the right thing to do. I thought it would bring an end to this problem… boy was I wrong…

When I met her 3 year before she was a domestic violence victim. She knew that if she contacted a VAWA (Violence Against Women Act) agent they would take her word and grant her services. After all that is how they make their living. If she files a petition for a Temporary Protective Order she will get al the services she needs: Housing, Psychological, Medical, Employment and Immigration papers to stay in this country…

Anybody would be stupid not to do it. So sure enough after a couple of weeks in the shelter she filed a petition for a Temporary Protective Order.

The judge only listened to her for a couple of minutes before he dismissed the case. He knew it was all lies. She had all the motive in the world to lie and nothing to loose.

And me: My life is now ruined by the use of federal money. I am now suffering from PTSD.

I am looking for help but no one wants to help…

Please help me.

USCIS will probably deny her petition and she might be deported.

Today I spoke to a woman who has worked with “VAWA victims - women immigrants”.

This woman listened to what happened to me and said that due to the marriage lasting only three months it smells very fishy, and USCIS will know this is fraud right away.

Nevertheless, she has been getting VAWA benefits for 8 months now. She is getting an apartment paid so she lives here for free and they even got her a job.

I know she is desperately looking for another man so she is intends to marry another guy so that she can apply for a green card again.

What will USCIS say to that?


When I met her in October 2005 she was a Domestic Violence Victim and I wanted to help. I never imagined she would end up accusing me of the same. I offered her and her 3 sons to stay in my house.

In august 2008 she asked (begged) me to marry her because she was out of legal status in the US and wanted to become legal and needed to see her son in Mexico. Again I wanted to help and I agreed. On Aug. 27 – 2008 she and I got married.

Immediately after we got married her behavior changed dramatically. It became clear to me that something was totally wrong with our marriage. She threatened me to “leave me a present” meaning “send me to jail”. I thought she was under a lot of stress and again I felt pity. On Oct. 5 – 2008 I filed for immigration for her and on Nov. 9 – 2008 for her 2 children.

She had managed to create a deep conflict between her 2 children and their own father and now she was working on doing the same between her 2 children and me. Her children’s behavior was becoming more and more unhealthy. When I discussed her sons’ situation with her she lost her temper, and later she would turn that into Emotional Violence in order to gain Immigration Benefits. On November 27 she told her son, to cut off the TV cables which he did in 4 places.

As I realized the situation was becoming very unhealthy I asked her to look for another place to stay. On November 29 she went to the police which escorted her and her children back to our residence. On Sunday Nov. 30 2008 she informed me that she is with another man and intends to stay married to me only for the purpose of gaining Immigration Benefits. On Monday Dec. 1 2008 – for the above reason - I filed the Divorce Petition.

She immediately began to look for ways to retaliate against me. She joined the Domestic Violence Program - VAWA claiming there was “Emotional Violence” against her children. On Dec. 19 2008 she and her children left our residence and moved to the Dekalb County Domestic Violence Women’s Shelter. She left to the shelter using my 2007 SUV that I lent her.

On Dec. 31 2008 I came to her sister’s house to wish them a Happy New Year and to pick up my 2007 SUV. When I was driving the vehicle away she and her two sons ran out in front of the vehicle in an attempt to forcefully stop the running vehicle thus endangering their own lives and mine.

On Jan. 8 2009 she filed a petition for a Temporary Protective Order - FALSELY accusing me of domestic violence against her and her children.

On Jan. 23 2009 the Temporary Protective Order was dismissed by a Superior Court judge – finding her accusations to be FALSE.

While giving her testimony she referred to events that allegedly took place on a trip to Orlando, FL in June 2008, proving that when she asked me to marry her in August 2008 her intentions were dishonest.

Finally, on Jan. 29 2009 the FINAL DECREE of Divorce was granted a Superior Court judge.

The memories are still tormenting me. I am suffering from insomnia, nightmares, flashbacks and the same thoughts repeat over and over again causing physical pain – stomach aches, chest pains, head-aches, elevated heart beat…
