Q: How can I find out if I'm still the sponsor to my ex-wife (2-year-green-card recipient) that I've reported to USCIS?
I recently submitted a report with links to substantial evidence (PDFs of the full report, screenshots of phone messages to them and to me, all clearly dated and cross referenced; via my Google Drive) detailing my ex wife's infidelity throughout our dating, engagement, and marriage, with multiple men, to USCIS proving it was absolutely a fraudulent marriage, on 8/24/2023, via USCIS and ICE online tip forms. I also sent USCIS a separate message through their online My Account page (where my I-130 case shows as "approved" since 9/15/2022) requesting my status as her sponsor, and also resubmitted the report itself. Will I inevitably have to call them directly to find out my status as her sponsor (their site makes clear that they frown on making appointments unless you have an open case or are submitting documents)? Will I eventually get a document clearly stating that I'm no longer her sponsor?
A: Submitting a report to USCIS with evidence of fraud does not automatically revoke your status as a sponsor. USCIS will investigate the matter, which could potentially be a prolonged process. To know the status of your obligations as a sponsor, you will likely need to proactively follow up with USCIS, potentially through various methods such as calling them or scheduling an info pass appointment, to seek updates on the matter; even then, it may take some time before a clear resolution is reached, and it may not necessarily result in a document clearly stating a change in your sponsor status. Please ensure to consult with an attorney for tailored guidance.
