We've married 3.5 years, no kids. I am a victim of domestic abuse. Can I still file for US citizenship? I plan to reside in my own country to recover from this horrific experience. But I am afraid that I might lose my green card. Also, Am I liable to his debts if the divorce is granted in CA?

My husband had a wedding ceremony in California in 1994 to another woman, but no married license was applied for or turned into the state so that his "ex" could continue to claim widows benefits from her late husband. They lived together 13 years & then he left and moved to another... View More

Your husband needs to take action in the court case involving the 1994 "wife." My understanding from you is that she knew she was not legally married to your husband, and she refrained from marrying your husband so she could receive benefits. You need to keep in mind that there there... View More
