Wife is trying to deport me
4 months ago I left my wife because of marital problems that had been brewing for the lat two years of our marriage.
I have a perminant Green card (10 years) as a result of the marriage, now that we are seperated and going to go to divorce, She is wanting to get me Deported saying that I conned my way into the marriage for Immigration purposes, which I never did. I was with her for 4 years in total including 6 months after the green card interview and approval trying to reconcille the marriage but gave up on it. can she bring me before a judge.
I left the house with nothing but the clothes I came in with? what should I do?

She canNOT take you before an immigration judge. Only ICE can do that. Do note that ICE often finds the USC spouse in a case like yours to be the least credible witness about the validity of the marriage.
However, you may need the aid of a family law attorney if you acquired any property or debts in the meanwhile.

Re: Wife is trying to deport me
Thank you so Much for that quick responce,
who or what is the ICE?
I have nothing in that house I want she can have it all, I just want this all behind me.
She is Desperate to get me deported. she tried to get me arrested, fired from my job and told me that the whole town I live in will know how much of a con artist I am, affairs (that I never had)! and how Evil I am.
can she get away with that?

Forget the immigration for the time being. You are going through a messy divorce and those are emotional times.
If you have any friends, this is the time to use those friendships for your piece of mind.

Good luck dealing with your estranged wife. Get yourself some guidance from a family-law attorney on how to protect yourself in your community - I think that should be a bigger concern for you than the ICE.

This is America. Anybody can sue anybody, but as Folinskyinla says she
will not be able to bring you before an Immigration Judge. And while
anybody can claim anything they want about anybody else and attempt to
bring charges they will need to prove it. As you were with her for 4 1/2
years it would be very difficult to prove any claim of fraud. In any
event she cannot deport you and I doubt very much that ICE would take
her seriously.
> I left the house with nothing but the clothes I came in with? what

I would start with getting a place to stay then contacting a good family
attorney. While you may just want her to go away and this to be over
with I would suggest that you have your lawyer draft up an agreement of
how to split your jointly acquired assets. Do not let her just get
everything and you just get screwed. Why do that? You are entitled to
1/2 of it in most states and you should get it. Proceed fairly and
according to the law and your attorneys advice. You might wish to file a
restraining order against her if she is being vengeful and you
definitely want to get all assets frozen now. If nothing else proceeding
in such a fashion will tell her that you are serious and will not be
taken advantage of by her, that you have rights too and her actions have
consequences. Again, proceed fairly and not vengefully. Often such a
move will make the other party come to their senses and stop them from
being vengeful. Sometimes it won't and it will make things worse but you
should be in a better position because you will have protected yourself
and your interests. See an attorney NOW!

ICE - Immigration and Customs Enforcement
If you have been married for 4 1/2 years then it doesn't sound like
fraud. Even if you committed fraud, it would have to be proven. It
doesn't sound like she has any evidence of fraud, so don't worry about
the immigration stuff. You need an attorney and might want to consider
taking legal action against her for slander.

Re: Wife is trying to deport me
As others have said, immigration is your least concern right now. You are a
permanent resident and it would be very difficult to strip you of that.
One other thing. She has sponsored you for your affidavit of support; if
this is a messy divorce (and it sounds like it) that's a useful bargaining
tool. Perhaps she'll lay off you if she realizes she's agreed to support you
at the 125% poverty level.

I'm Not sure what you mean by that, Andy.
I have a decent job and no intentions of going on welfare. I don't want her or her family to go through any unnessasary stresses. She's the one with Obsession to get me out of the country by any means she can, she's just very Bitter and feels Betrayed, I can't say I blame her for her feelings, but my life is here now and I cannot simply drop my life to have to restart it elsewhere. I left her because of her issues that she refused to aknowledge.
I don't hate her, I still care for her deeply, to be honest I don't want her to be ripped off even by a Lawyer who says that he can get me before an immigration judge for a deportation hearing when it's clear to everyone on this BB that thats impossible given the circumstances. It seems she's being promised everything for a price, and is not going to get it. I would like her to know that. But anyattemp by me to tell that could be missconstrued as an attept to stop her for my own personal gain.. Some lessons we have to learn the hard way.
