we actually had a wedding prior to dating for 2 years after he finished hid doctorate, and has started a company while I worked fuul time and paid 3/3 of all expenses, including insurance etc. I'm trying to determine whether he is buying time until the marriage is 2 years old, because he does not seem to want to get divorced and will not say where he's living. He has ben in the states on a green card since coming here from haiti at age 12, although his father and sister are supposedly citizen's. I starting o feel that I might have been played like a fine tune to upgrade his citizenship status. Help, I need answers quick. is he just holding out for 2 years of marriage to make it easier to get citizenship. He wants to bring his mom, and other siblings to US, but does not really talk about the details, and states that he has not pursued citizenship because he really does not want to....looking for the truth..thanks

Let him know you are going to the immigration officials to figure out whether you are going to end up in trouble for entering into a marriage of convenience and that should smoke him out. Then try to work things out, ot if you don't think it will work out get the marriage annuled on the grounds that he entered into it under false pretenses.

Ok if he had a green card when you marry him, so he doesn't have no problems with geting his citizenship, after 5 years been with the green card he is entitle to apply for it...But if he got marry with you and then got his green card, so he is just buying time staying marry to you...If he want to apply when he have 3 years with the green card...Is only 2 years difference...So if he did got the green card from marry to you...And he is not geting a divorce from you but he is hiding from you and don't get a divorce he is doing the smart move...Because then he wants you to go ahead and get the divorce... So in the term of tree years he can apply for citizenship...And if in application he answer that it was you that went ahead with the divorce he will be eligible is how Inmigration have it put together but if he divorce you the he won't be eligible at 3 years he have to wait 5 and I think he have to be marry to you at the time I am not sure about that after 5 years but he is just buying time and even if you divorce him he still can get citizenship...If is an abuse from him to you, any kind of abuse then he can loose his green card and be deported right away don't matter how long he is been here in the US so

He was a green card holder long before he met you. He could have obtained the citizenship by his own means not by you because he already had a green card.
He did not get the permanent residency by marrying you, so he does not need you to get a citizenship ( But he says he does not want to be a citizen)
Maybe you need a marriage counselor.

I'm sorry, but 9 out of 10 cases where US citizen marry foreigners (who get their green card) ends like this. Have you filed anything with immigration?
If he already has a lawful permanent residence status (not the conditional status) he doesn't need anything more from you to get US Citizenship. Getting citizenship will help get his family here quicker.
After all you supported him. Now he has a choice, get a job like a real man and support you or dump you and either get a new wife (to support him in the custom you have been).
Now he doesn't want a divorce now, because he has to hid his assets first.
I would suggest that you contact a divorce attorney as soon as possible! He maybe establishing residence in a state that would be more favorable to his plans to further scam you.
If you did file anything with immigration, immediately contact immigration and withdraw the petition.
There is a good chance one of his "siblings" may be actually a wife. I've seen it many times!
Best of luck. Email me if you additional questions.

wow first of all let me say that i really admire you for being so independent but there seems to be an imbalance in the relationship . first off there is a lack of communication. if he really loves you, he should try his best to make the marriage work, moving out over a mild argument? makes him seem lazy and no matter what the argument is about if he can't sit down and try to solve it with you then it probably means he doesn't feel that its worth his time or the argument is not worth your time or your not worth his time. second of all you shouldn't have to take care of him, he seems irresponsible and a man his age should be able to stand on his own 2 feet. if he continues to be this way, get a divorce and move on.

If caught: 1) 5 years federal prison 2) $250,000 fine 3) deportation 4) lifetime ban from US that's each That would effect her status! Aiding, abetting and/or harboring an illegal alien, and marriage fraud are not going to make you real popular with the USCIS!

If he is a green card holder and was before he married you then it does not matter if he is married or not. Being married to a US citizen does not effect his status at all. The only time it matters is if the person derives their status by being married to a US citizen. You can divorce him or stay married to him but it will not change his status.

Most Americans get paid $$$$$ for what you did.
He might be a terrorist. Remind him of his matrimonial commitment-- to pay half. If he doesn't concede get a divorce and report him to homeland security.
