Q&A: Immigration Problems, Husband Lied…?
Question by NC: Immigration problems, husband lied…?
I came to the US to marry after a year of long distance relationship, my husband looked and acted always very formal, went to meet my family with his dad and everything looked perfect. I’m a journalist and teacher and I had a very good life in my country, had a good job, car, a house I’m still paying from here, I mean, I came in love and that was my only reason to move. My husband submited a petition for my change of immigrant status, payed and everything seemed perfect except that in this months I realized he drinks and I never knew before, he’s a spender and our financial situation is not the best, I’m 7 months pregnant, he’s happy to become a fahter but when he got drunk last time he pushed my belly and called me bitch and says he doesn’t remember. Since we had a long distance relationship, I didn’t notice his drinking problem and when I got here and saw him getting drunk the first times I didn’t think it was going to be (or was already) bad, he also has this woman best friend whom he was texting all morning and suppousedly stopped texting her when I demanded it, but I just found some email messages he sent her long ago with my pictures saying “this is my soon to be wife, what do you think?” and he signs “Daddy”. Another message is saying he’d love for her to meet me and seems to be proud to mention I have two careers and the job I had before moving here, but he ends up saying “I love you” to her in that message. I don’t want to go back to my country either pregnant or as a divorced mother and start looking for a job, get a car and start all over!! Neither I like the US, but I guess here my baby has more chances to get child support and the rights he’s entitled to… is there any asociation I can go to?? Right now I have no job, I can’t work untill I get my permit and the baby is born!! I still didn’t get my appointment with immigration. I honestly don’t know if I should go back or stay and divorce and start a new life here. Please don’t tell me just to go like that, I came here legally and in love, I’m heart broken, also I’m a person of values, I’m not a criminal. I know there’s hate against immigrants but I really did things right and thought my husband shared my dreams of a decent family lifestyle. Thanks in advance.
