Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

Immigration fraud

Married 4 yrs and just found out I was married for a green card.My husband was verbally abusive,never wanted to own anything together unless it benefitted him. I signed on a joint bank account so the INS would see that we owned one thing together. When it came time for the conditons to be removed for the permanent green card ,I bought a van and put it in both our names so the INS would see that we owned one piece of personal property.He cut off my communication with his grown children by phone over 2 yrs ago.My son had to put up his credit to buy me a car because my husband refused.I did all the INS paperwork myself.He recieved his permanent green card recently and has now moved out. He now wants me to remove my signature from his bank accout . His name is not on any of my accounts .I have owned my home for 24 yrs and am a lot older than my husband.For all these four yrs I could not figure out why his anger was only directed at me. Can I get an anullment under these circumstances?

Re: Immigration fraud

Obtaining permanent residence ("green card") for the sole purpose of obtaining immigration benefits is illegal and fraudulent. His green card may be revoked if it is proven, with evidence, that he obtained it through fraudulent means.

Re: Immigration fraud

I see that the other attorney did not exactly answer your question. Your question is about annulment of the marriage, not about the revoking of your husband's green card. Your question is a family law question, and I'm not a family law attorney but if you can prove some kind of fraud on his part, then probably you can get an annulment in the Family Court. As for your husband's green card, even if you could prove there was fraud, it's not easy to convince the INS to investigate and pay attention to that case.
