Since i had found out about her marriage certificate was not the same i signed and had conditions I never was aware of . She was being coached by her sister who is an Advocate in Pakistan they I guess figured out how my wife can have a legal status which was by proving she is a victim of domestic violence . My wife stated to abuse my picking up arguments and fights over things like me ordering earing's for valentines day and since i didn't ask her she made a scene . Took advantage of my situation and kept mentally abusing me and rhings became a culture of her manipulating me . She was being coached regularly and I never realized she'd do things to fight and then call the police next day and got me arrested . After the social services got involved since we had a 4 months old baby she was told them things i am still not aware of . She forced me to get her tickets for back home for visit and after she got there with our daughter she said she won't come . She got U Visa and daughter gone.

A: It sounds like you are dealing with a very complex and challenging situation. If your wife submitted fraudulent documents, including a marriage certificate and fake degrees, and misrepresented facts at the embassy, this is serious and can have significant legal implications. You may want to gather all evidence of the fraud, such as the fake marriage certificate and any documentation that supports your claims.

Since your wife has accused you of domestic violence and obtained a U Visa, it’s crucial to address these allegations. If you believe the accusations are false, you should collect any evidence that can support your innocence, such as messages, recordings, or witness statements that demonstrate her manipulative behavior and your interactions. It may also be beneficial to seek legal advice to navigate the complexities of immigration and family law in this context.

Given that your wife has taken your daughter abroad and is refusing to return, you might need to consider legal action to address custody and visitation rights. Contacting an attorney who specializes in family law can help you understand your rights and the steps you can take to possibly reunite with your daughter and resolve these legal matters.
