    Default Marriage Ending After Immigration Through K1 Visa

    Hey everyone.

    I am really at a loss for what to do and wanted some advice and insight from people with much more knowledge, in regards to immigration laws, than myself.
    I quite recently got engaged to a distinct relative of mine in Bangladesh. Things went smooth and after some time he came into the US with his fiance' visa. I married him in court after 2 months, and after I did so, I began collecting and preparing all the paper-work that was needed to be sent to immigration with the help of my paralegal consular.
    However, things began taking a turn in the wrong direction. This man, I will refer to him as Bob from now on, began pushing me to hurry up with paper-work and he began showing his true colors. He would not trust a single thing I was telling him in regards to how the process of immigration worked and he began harassing me, saying he "wanted his green-card." No papers had yet been sent to immigration, since I still had plenty of time and was getting all the necessary papers (taxes, asset docs.,etc) ready. Anyways, things became clear that he had done what he had, to get residence in the country at my cost.

    One evening he became profusely, hostile and declared that if I wouldn't "comply" and give him his green-card (mind you he was kept well informed of the process, but wasn't trusting me) he was going to leave and do "what was necessary to get it," in a bit of a threatening manner. He left and I haven't heard from him since then. Its been 2 weeks. I don't even know if he is in the same state. All I know is that his relatives have claimed that he is still in the US.

    Now I wanted to know what my legal obligations are and what I must do. I do not want to deport him out of vengeance (even though I want to) but at the same time I do not want my name to be joint against his and I do not want to sponsor for his residence/citizenship. He used me and I have talked to my paralegal adviser, who has had me fill out and prepare a divorce which I will send in tomorrow and since I do not know the location of Bob, to put it into the local newspaper. When this is said and done do I still have any obligations or can I simply close the doors on this dreadful period of my life. Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated, and I am willing to do what is necessary in order to set things straight.

    Thank you in advance!

    Sincerely,
    Rook1

    On a brighter note, it appears you stopped short of committing fraud.

    Generally speaking, somebody in your position would file for divorce and let the USCIS worry about the rest.

    You haven't told us what you filed in relation to sponsorship, or when.
