I'm concerned about a couple I know who were accussed of marriage fraud. The husband came to the U.S. legally when he was a minor. His Mother married a U.S. Citizen, later divorced and returned to her home country. He wanted to and thought he could stay in the U.S. but when he turned 18 he was notified that his visa would expire and he would not be allow to stay in the U.S. legally.
In order to stay in the U.S. he decided to get married. He entered into the married with honest intentions and has been an a active member of his family-in-law for the entire length of his marriage. He has been working none stop for the last 3 years to provide for his family (him and his wfe) and school. He doesn't have any type of criminal record and always respectful of the law. He has been married just about 3 years now. He recieved his green card about a year ago and was about to take his citizenship examination when he was accused by officials of being in a fraudlant marriage.
The wife is a U.S. born citizen. Because of the short notice of when they got married she was unsure about entering into the marriage at first but after they were married she said she was willing to be commited to it and did for almost two years but later decided she no longer wished to be married and started having an affair and later moved in with her lover.
The husband still is a very active member of his in-laws family. He contributes what little time he has after working and school to his extended family-in-law.
In Washington State what are their legal options?
What could happen to the husband if a rulling is held against him?
I am unsure but they may have admitted fault when they were accused. They did not have legal counsel present at that time. What would be the best course of action for them to take if this is the case?
If he is ruled against will he still be able to stay for the term of his current green card (if not revoked), if so is it still possible for him to ever become a citizen or permenant resident?
