My questions: Should I file to become a citizen of the U.S. through naturalization as quickly as possible; what would happen? How do I prevent spouse from filing complaints against me with immigration services? Even if spouse filed, will anything happen to me; do you think my case is low priority since so many years have already passed? What should I do to prevent deportation if it ever come to that; I worked for AAFES or The Exchange and doubt they would allow the case to move forward but just in case. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.
My Situation: I came to the U.S. on an F-1 visa in 1993; began working as a language school recruiter in 1994-1996 without work permit; did not file taxes on the income made but had the commissions wired back to Taiwan instead; during that same period, charges were filed against me for "possession of unauthorized fund" in the amount of $8K, spent minor time in jail, but case was eventually settled out of court; I also left the U.S. to go back to Taiwan for family emergency, came back to find myself out of status due to not maintaining credit hours and minimum grades and expired visa; my school was willing to write me a letter for good standing with immigration services, but out of fear of deportation, I wooed and married a naturalized citizen, whose mother sponsored my permanent residency application ... here's where I may have messed up by asking the bank to forge a signed statement declaring my spouse and I had shared an account since 1993, even thought I met spouse in 1996. And that bank document was part of my residency application to USCIS. Last year (2012), my spouse began cleaning up the garage of the home we live in, and discovered documents uncovering the above facts, which prompted spouse's filing for annulment of the marriage based on fraud (I am in the state of Texas). We have a fifteen-year-old child and I have been arrested and charged but never convicted for spousal assault twice.
