Hi; I was the victim of immigration fraud a while back. I've recently discovered that others are aware of the fraud that these people are committing. I also discovered that INS is after some of the people in this ring, but not the ones who defrauded me. I am wondering how (or if) to direct...

Sounds like you better contact someone local, because Florida and I are not in Ohio. In my state, you can transfer the appraisal, and you'll have to pay for it. He's right in that the way it was ordered can make a difference, and if you signed anything saying you'd pay, then you have to pay...

perhaps you're overreacting? All states have differing rules on mortgages, so my advice here might be off for Ohio. I know that in my state, fees and stips can truly change up until the last minute, but should not be off by much from your "good faith estimate". You will have to pay the...

Who was responsible for the mortgage being paid, in the decree? If you are, then you are screwed. If he is, then you have things you can do-but all of them mean you lose the house if your disability and alimony aren't enough to qualify for a loan on the house. Go to a mortgage broker and...

Does anyone have experience in this issue? Thanks for the advice! Actually KKHeuser's advice is pretty accurate with what INS is saying. You can't deport an American, but they can be sent out of the country to live with a parent, which is what happens if family court says Mom should be...

Can you call legal aid or any lawyer for a freebie consult.....??? I don't know what state you're in, but in my state, I found that family court just kinda sorta pays attention to dates and times, and offers SUBSTANTIAL leeway on enforcing time and date violations. I found this out the hard...

I posted this in the Immigration forum, and but since it is essentially a custody issue; I'd appreciate anyone's thoughts on this matter. Of course, I do have an attorney, but I want other opinions too. I married a foreign citizen, sponsored her, etc. She got her 2-year conditional permanent...

Congrats on having a conscience. File for divorce, and have the sponsor apply for withdrawl of sponsorship, and get the divorce done fast. You don't have to tell INS why you decided to return to your country, nor do you have to explain why you are divorcing. Ask for voluntary departure when...

Not an attorney here.... ....nor do I play one on TV. I'd say you've got wonderful evidence in your email to present in your case. Ask the judge for discovery that includes emails. If you've got nothing to worry about with Immigration, then pre-empt this guy and go to Immigration and tell...

One thing I found out is that Homeland security had a lot of people temporarily assigned to election duties with Secret Service and has now gotten them back. You also need to contact the Bill Richardson's office, since he's well connected on a national level, and also contact your Congressional...

Depending on your state, the annulment is likely the best way to go. Each state's threshold is different, of course, but if it's like the laws in Colorado, you'll have to show that you weren't aware of something that would have led you to not marry her. Otherwise, it's probably divorce scene...

Annullment! Go for annullment, based on her deception of previously married. In most states, you have to apply for annullment within 6 months of discovering the deception. This will also prevent her from getting your assets too. Get an attorney ASAP!!!!!! What has happened since you posted...

it's the time! Listen to the posts! Get an attorney and get her with you, now is the time! Don't sign over to the grandparents, they're not on your side if they think she's ever "cured" of her bipolar disorder!

Not an attorney here, but why don't you have him come over on a tourist visa, marry in a courthouse, then do the whole immigration thing? Be careful and be sure it's love for real, but if it is, why not do this? I'm sure that someone on here can come up with the reason not to do it this...

Why would you want to get married in Canada? If I'm guessing right, you're wanting to have a traditional wedding up in Canada with family, eh? Do it in the US at the courthouse, then have a reception/ceremony up there. Make it legal here, then you can have whatever ceremony/celebration...
