Eola, TX Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

If you have been married to a woman from the Philippines for 8 years, and have 2 kids, it is likely too late to complain to immigration. You'd have to show fraud from the inception of the marriage.

To bring your fiance to the US, you will need to submit a fiance petition on his behalf. The petition is submitted on form I-129F, and you must submit documentation to prove by clear and convincing evidence that you both are free to marry, that you have met each other in-person within the last 2 years, and that you have a bona fide intent to marry within 90 days of his entry into the United States.

Since you have already received your residency status, your wife can no longer withdraw her petition for you. She can, however, cause problems by reporting to immigration that you allegedly committed marriage fraud if she believes that you never had the intent to share your lives together and that you entered into the marriage only for the green card. However, immigration cannot accept the truthfulness of her allegations without sufficient evidence to support it. If she refuses to sign a joint petition to remove the conditions on your residency and instead divorces you, you can submit the I-751 petition by yourself and request a waiver of the joint petition requirement on the basis that you entered into the marriage in good faith and that it was later terminated by divorce. To support the waiver, you will need to submit sufficient evidence that the marriage was in good faith.
