She Wants Hubby Deported

Q: I am a United States citizen. I petitioned for my husband and brought him here from abroad. After three years of marriage and just seven weeks after immigrating, he abandoned me and asked for a divorce. It is clear to me that he married me only to get his green card. Can I get my husband deported?

A: At this point, you can’t do much to affect your husband’s immigration status. Because you thought the marriage was genuine, it would be almost impossible for you to prove fraud. And because you were married more than two years on the day he became a permanent resident, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services won’t be checking to see how your marriage worked out. Move on with your life. Trying to get revenge won’t help.
