More details to this question:
I am a U.S citizen, i got married in 2007 to help my now wife and her underage child come to the U.S. I didn\'t loved her at the time. I got to know her better and thought we could make it work. She came here from Dominican Republic in 2009. In 2010 she moved to Boston to look for a better job. in 2012 she got her green card. We never lived together. At the time of the final interview I lied about we living together and faked the letters of supports. Now she wants a divorced. I want to confess to USCIS it was all a sham since she was cheating on me all this time. Can her green card be undone and be deported? I will assume my part for lying. Thank You

With your confession, it is likely that USCIS will take steps to revoke your wife's permanent resident status. At the same time, you should be aware that marriage fraud is punishable for both parties by a fine of $250,000 and five years imprisonment.

I strongly recommend before you take any steps, that you consult with a competent attorney. Knowingly lying to the Federal Government in an immigration application may have severe consequences, including criminal prosecution. I am not discouraging you from coming forward. I simply am recommending that before you do so, you make sure to be fully informed.
