She does not need your permission to file for citizenship. However, if she got her green card based on your marriage and was qualifying for citizenship in 3 years, she must prove that she is married and living with you. If not, she can file alone.

You cannot do that unless you abused her. If so, she didn't need your permission. You can request a public record through foia but she has a privacy right.

You have no control over your ex-wife or her immigration status after she obtains her original lawful permanent resident status in the US. SHe is completely allowed to apply for an obtain US citizenship without anyone's permission, as she is applying herself and does not need a sponsor.

I assume you mean permanent residence. If so, INS will send you an interview notice and you can get the case denied then based on her fraud.

You cannot get your wife's information without her consent. If you think there is fraud on your ex-wife's part, you should report to FDNS unit in Detroit, MI.

First off, your ex-wife does not need your permission to file for citizenship. If your ex-wife has been a permanent resident for 5 years then she can file for naturalization without you.
