The Immigration Death Penalty For "fake Marriage"

[onlycw]

April 2007. A guy who embezzled a few hundred grand (not Baht, bucks) writes some weird stuff about me being "married illegally". all this during a nasty and expensive California divorce.

A recent B-VISA application was denied. Seems like my old enemy has been successful getting me convicted in absentia. Still, no one cares to think? Presumption of innocense?

Usually, there would be a quick "change of status" or application for a Green Card or something.

The marriage was terrible and brief but genuine. No prenup, no legal shenanigans and no attempt to move to a non-community property state.

Soon after the wedding, my ex wife quit her job and ended up sitting in a darkened room playing Spages @ AOL competitively and smoking pot or boozing. Later, Cops found a crack pipe in my old truck which she drove without insurance and seat belt.

The end was fast and furious. She opened my mail, retrieved checks and forgend the signature. FTB, IRS (=> Secret Service gets involved, but the bank paid up to avoid a scandal) and another one for $ 2,000. She looted all my belongings and vandalized the rest. once she accomplished it all, she sent me an e-mail declaring the marriage to be "over". Oh, and she would "keep the house", "because you have more money".

It was stupid - but a middle aged, fat and ugly guy can fall for a sexy hot Black lady who is unlike any past girlfriends...

Oh well, good to know the DHS has 20/20 insight and infinite wisdom, not just infinite financial resources.

A VISA allowing me to face the bad guy in court would be good - 1 month would be fine. A bond? Sure!

oh well, watch out when someone says your marriage is "illegal", whatever that means.
