A friend of an old girlfriend is getting screwed. Carolina lives in Colombia with her three year old daughter. Her husband immigrated to the USA several years ago, and the plan was that his wife and daughter would join him once the paperwork was completed.
Carolina he is not a citizen yet, but he must have a green card, because he returned to Colombia for a visit in July. While he was in Colombia, Carolina confronted him about when she was coming to the USA. He was lying the entire time, and has taken no steps whatsoever to file the necessary papers. Not only that, he categorically refused to provide a letter giving his permission for their child to leave Colombia, which is a requirement under Colombian law. If she takes any steps to leave Colombia or to divorce him, he threatens to end his already sporadic and inadequate child support payments.
How can someone outside the USA enforce a child support order against a resident of the USA?
Who can assist with this process?
Would these issues be of interest to the Immigration authorities?
Could his willful neglect of his wife and daughter have any affect on his immigration status?

michaelz says on Aug 9, 2006, 04:29: Rubiazo There may be more than one side to the story, sure. Carolina said that he told her he tried for citizenship, but apparently he failed. She says the government told him he must wait another year for his next interview.

Desideria (Moderator) says on Aug 9, 2006, 04:42: There's another thing... When a married couple with children get resident visas aren't the spouse and underaged children automatically included in the visa? "When shall we three meet again? In thunder, lightning, or in rain?"(First Witch in Macbeth) 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

utopiacowboy says on Aug 9, 2006, 06:14: A green card holder can petition for their spouse but there is a very long wait. Usually by the time the spouse's visa priority date is close to coming up, they're already citizens and they get them in that way. Disclaimer: any comment I make is inane and is not to be taken seriously, and is so patently ridiculous that no one should take it seriously, even as an insult. 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

michaelz says on Aug 9, 2006, 06:25: support It is hard to know what is going on, but Carlina said that he "seems to be hiding something". Not hard to figure out what that is. I'd bet he has a girlfriend in the USA. By keeping the status quo he can have a girlfriend in one country and a wife in the other. Best of both worlds.
