Legal Question in Immigration Law in California
Revoke a green card
I married my husband ten years ago.
He received his US Citizenship about 5 years ago from me (I�m a naturalized US Citizen, I became citizen through my mom because I was under 18 at the time).
About 2 to 3 years ago, my husband applied for his mom�s green card without my knowledge. He and his sister and sister�s husband sponsored the mom. I found out about this through his other relatives. His mom has green card now and lives with her daughter and son-in-law (my husband�s sister and sister�s husband). The sister and husband themselves did not have a green card. I think now they have a green card through his employer (he is a doctor in Ohio).
I feel cheated every time I think about this. It has given me tremendous stress. My husband is also lying to me about many other things. I am the bigger provider of this family (I have a son who is 2 � years old) and whatever he makes, very little goes in the house expense. I suspect he is �helping� his Mom�s and sister�s family.
I want to divorce him and want to find out that is there a way I can �revoke my husband and his mom�s green card�. They both got it from me and I want to take it back. Also, is there such a thing as �revoking someone�s green card�?

Re: Revoke a green card
If the marriage is not a real marriage then there's something you could do about it. If it is just a matter that your husband has been hiding some financial dealings with his family, I don't think you can get his green card taken for that, but you could bring that up in the divorce regarding division of assets and who owes what to whom.

Re: Revoke a green card
First of all, it sounds to me as if you are angry about your husband's family being here in the U.S. That is a different issue from revoking someone's green card. Your husband had his citizenship and is entitled to petition for his mother. Only he would have been able to sponsor her if his sister is not a citizen. Unless you can prove that the lawful permanent residence obtained by your husband was obtained fraudulently, or wrongly, I don't believe an attempt to revoke is feasible simply because you and your husband are not relating well. How do you know that your mom didn't get her citizenship through someone else who may be upset that your mom sponsored you? My suggestion is this: if you don't love your husband, then leave him. If you begin to raise issues that may not be provable, how do you know they will not investigate your having obtained residency and citizenship, and that of your mother's. I would not trust revealing anything to the government unless you have hard facts to back it up. Take care and good luck..
