Green Card Fraud Marriage Nightmare

Every time I confronted him about that I felt that he was only married to me for a “Green Card” he would yell at me and call me a sick woman that nobody would believe because I was crazy. He also threatened me that if I would tell anyone about that he would tell the whole world about my condition. I was really scared about that because I always felt really embarrassed about my condition. Unfortunately he used my illness as an excuse for everything that was said in the court.

Things got even worse when the Mormon Bishop turned-up to testify on his behalf. By the way that Bishop is a very prominent lawyer in Los Altos, and convinced me to take part of a lawsuit he had going against a pharmaceutical company for the weight loss pills known as Phe-Phen and Redux. He arranged for me to get an echocardiogram of my heart by one of his doctor's to see if there had been any damage done because of the weight loss pills. He later called me and told me that the echocardiogram had shown some damage in my heart. I immediately became very concerned and saw my doctor at Stanford Hospital. I had another echocardiogram performed at Stanford and it came back normal. I called the Mormon Bishop and told him what I had learned from my doctor at Stanford and he said these very words to me, “We never had this conversation.” I was overwhelmed with disappointment. I called him back and told him to remove me from the lawsuit that I didn't want to be part of a lie. I was outraged and I told him that I was going to tell the pharmaceutical company about it. Obviously that is why he testified in my ex-husband's behalf.

The court granted me a restraining order and a divorce but not the annulment. They said it was hard to prove because of the time we were married. To make matters worse he also maxed out my credit cards and left me in total debt. I took him to court for that, and he promised to pay the debts but he never did. I had to file for bankruptcy. Now I found out that he is doing very well and working for Google.

I'm terribly disappointed and outraged at our judicial system. Like I said, I never heard back from the INS. after I reported him. This was the most horrible experience of my life. My advice to anyone who is thinking of marrying a foreigner, make sure he or she have a “Green Card.” Unfortunately this kind of marriage fraud is very common and we as Americans sometimes end up having fewer rights than foreigners.
