Miami, FL asked in Immigration Law for Florida

Q: If i was involved in a fraudulent marriage 10 years ago, no charges filed, he got deported then why are we still married

This happened over ten years ago. I ended up telling the truth during the immigration meeting and he ended up getting deported shortly after. I'm just wondering why we are still married if it was deemed a fraudulent marriage?

A: For the purposes of immigration it was deemed fraudulent. You have to take steps to divorce him so that the marriage ends and you can remarry, say you are divorced and single and so on. Talk to an attorney.
