I am appalled at the fact that there doesn't seem to be much to protect us from these kind of people. I too am a victim of this "fraud". I have been married 3 1/2 years. He only received his residency last August, and since he has completely changed. We as far as I believed we planning a trip to his homeland for this month, March, 2008.
Turns out he has been playing me all this time. He has a child from a previous relationship, which I was aware of and accepted. Problem is that I was made believe that his relationship with the child's mother has been over way before he decided to come into the US. My whole marriage to this man was "perfect" as far as I could see. He was the man that I wanted and made me happy, always very sweet and attentive. We made many plans for the future, respected my wishes to continue my education and pursue my career. Mutual agreement on no children for the time being.
Well, since the receipt of his Residency in August, the man I thought I knew was no more. In the beginning for the year I find out that he has hidden the money that we were saving for "Our vacation". He started acting very strangely and of course I needed to know what was going on.
I know have tons of e-mails, voice recordings, recorded computer activity of his talking about his real intentions. All this time he has been planning to use me, get his residency so that eventually he could become a citizend and bring his "ex-girlfriend", son and legalize his mother.
I have contacted, sent all the evidence that I have to DHS, filed a report. NO RESPONSE!!!! I finally was able to get in touch with an officer with Public Affairs, and his response to me was that this case does not meet the standards to the US Attorney to act on. ARE YOU KIDDING ME????
I contacted a lawyer that told me that he could help me get file an extensive report with DHS and build a case against him and get his Residency cancelled, him deported and possibly prosecuted for fraud. Problem is that I don't have the money at the moment to continue with the case. He is leaving the country tomorrow on "HIS" vacation and I am left without a dime, and the authorities can't help me???? IS THERE NO JUSTICE??? AND YES MAYBE THIS HAPPENS BECAUSE THERE ARE STILL SOME OF US THAT BELIEVE IN TRUE LOVE OR AT LEAST IN HAVING A COMPANION WITH OUR BEST INTRESTS IN MIND. HOW NAIVE RIGHT?
