ImmigrationFraudVictims

Now I know she never loved me. She just used me as a place to live for herself and for her children. She used me as a shelter and as someone who took care of her illnesses and paid her doctors and her surgeries – including the cosmetic surgeries.

I feel so disgusted. She turned out to be just a snow, maybe even worse.

I still remember how she started a fight over the stupidest thing – a movie.
I remember how from one day to another she turned from what I thought was my lover, to my worst enemy.
I remember how she went to the police, then called the police from my house, how she acted as a victim, how the police told her not to call anymore. How she found a VAWA agent so she could get VAWA benefits and immigration services, all paid for by the federal government – or rather, by us.
I remember how after a couple of weeks in the shelter she filed for a temporary protective order which was full of lies.
I remember how 2 men from the sheriff department came to my house and served me with the order and wanted to take away MY car. It is My car. How can the law take it away from me – incidentally the car did not start and they left it in my garage.
I remember that after a couple of minutes of her telling her lies the judge got tired of listening and dismissed the petition. He knew of course she was lying.
I remember how a policeman asked her to return the car keys and I got them back.
I remember that just a few days later the same judge granted me the divorce without even asking any questions, like he knew about everything, the lying, the cheating, the manipulations, the false accusations. That she is manipulating the system to get legal papers to stay in this country…

You might have some more memories when you think back before your marriage at all the little clues she gave off that she wasn't legitimate. Usually these are clothed in showy displays of "love" and "caring". We think we are marrying the most wonderful woman in the world, a pure angel when in reality she is devil with an agenda. The second shock comes when we see how our legal system works. Did deeper on that and with new eyes you can see the levels of corruption in many of our institutions.

Your story is very similar to many of us on this board. You should definitely consider yourself lucky that you had a sympathetic judge. This is not meant to lessen what you went through. Things could have turned out much worse.

It's sad to think that what you went through can be considered "lucky" and that our government subsidizes this behavior.

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?
