QUESTION

Can he force me to leave US without my son?

Asked on Dec 09th, 2012 on Immigration - Texas
More details to this question:
I entered US on k1 visa in January 2011, was married in February 2011 and got my green card in August 2011. I have a one-year boy and I am expecting with the second one. I am 12 weeks far along and now my husband is forcing me to have an abortion. He is threatening me that if I wonโ€™t go for an abortion he would take my son away from me and will cancel my green card. I just want to know if he can do that.

No, he cannot cancel your green card. Since you likely have a conditional green card it just means the next step will be more complicated. I would strongly recommend consulting an immigration attorney before making any decisions.

You should speak with an attorney about your rights. Your husband cannot take away your :green card" but other factors could cause you trouble.

Your husband cannot cancel your green card. You should consult with an immigration attorney about your case so that you can get out of the relationship if needed.

He cannot do that. You need to go speak with an attorney right away to understand your rights and see what kind of protection you may need from your husband, who sounds abusive to you, especially in your condition now.

You should be able to keep your green card. See a good attorney.

He can tell lies to immigration to try to get them to take away the green card, but it is a very long process, and usually the truth wins. As long as you have your own good lawyer fighting for you, you should be fine.
