How do you have a green card revoked due to a fraudulent marriage?

Question

My best friend just learned that her husband married her solely for a green card. The day they sent off the paperwork to have the conditional status removed, she overheard him telling his friend that he could finally divorce her, and he left her a few weeks later. She is devastated she loves this jerk so much, but she wants to have his green card revoked. How does she do that?

Answer 1

Sorry to hear it. Unfortunately, things like this happen.

I understand that they only *submitted* the JOINT paperwork (form I-751) to remove conditions, but it was *not approved* yet?

If so, she should write a notarized letter and send it to the same USCIS address (PO Box address) where they mailed the I-751. She can explain the situation with a "sham marriage" on his part, and tell that she is withdrawing her signature at I-751 petition. This way, the JOINT petition becomes invalid.

Did they have an attorney? or filed it by themselves?

Also, it takes at least several months for this petition to get processed. So if she gets a divorce and notifies the USCIS, this will invalidate the petition, too. When filing for divorce or annulment, she can also cite the reason of a fraud or misrepresentation on his part.

If they are not living together and he left her, this should be mentioned in the letter to USCIS. If the petition is denied, eventually he can be placed for deportation. Marriage fraud is a federal crime.

Added: She should not wait until the interview because the USCIS oftentimes approves these petitions without the interview (new policy).

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

If I understand correctly, they have applied to have the conditional status revoked but not had the interview yet. She can just tell the person at the interview..
