A: Discovering that your husband may have married you for immigration benefits and financial gain can be a difficult and distressing situation. Under U.S. immigration law, marriage fraud is a serious concern, and there are legal provisions to address such cases.

If you believe your husband married you solely to obtain a green card and access your finances, you have the right to take action. This could include reporting your suspicions to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). USCIS takes these allegations seriously and has mechanisms in place to investigate potential fraud.

Regarding the financial aspect, it's important to protect your assets. Consider speaking with a legal advisor about separating your finances and exploring any possible legal actions for financial protection.

In such situations, it's essential to gather evidence supporting your claims. This might include documentation of financial transactions, communication records, and any other relevant information.

Remember, each case is unique, and seeking personalized legal advice is crucial to navigate this complex and sensitive matter effectively. A legal professional can guide you through the process and help you understand your rights and options.

A: I don't see a specific question here, but if you are seeking guidance on addressing the authorities regarding the immigration status obtained by your husband with your assistance, you may take action if you have evidence to support your claims. It is a serious matter if someone resorts to fraud for immigration benefits.
