    Default Immigrant Wife Left Home

    My newly arrived immigrant wife has left our home to her brother. There was no abuse no physical conflict, and there are no children, she simply changed her mind after three days. Though there is another man involved ....I will not get into that.

    My question is how do I protect myself legally as her sponsor and/or how do I send her back?

    Get an attorney; file for divorce (including exclusive possession of the marital residence) and discuss reporting her to ICE for immigration fraud. Unfortunately, you may be responsible for supporting her; what you want to be sure of is that you are not charged with domestic violence so that she can use VAWA.

    Be smart! Get an attorney and file ASAP.

    What have you filed?

    WHEN was it filed? How long have you been married?

    There's a reason I'm asking.

    We was married May of 2009 overseas.
    I had filed the I -130, immigrant petition for relative.
    The immigrant visa and the i-867, affidavit of support to bring her here.

    I know she has already applied for a social security card . She has not been in the USA for a month yet.

    Oh yes the I- 130 was filed late 2009, I received a approval letter march 9, 2010 and then began the immigrant visa process.
    I received the I-797C notice of action on her immigrant visa and Alien registration a few days ago...I guess the notice in this case is for her alien registration card.
