He landed a job as a 24 hour live in caregiver and started making good money and sending tons of money to his country in nigeria. He has not been home since march. All of a sudden he us now planning to go back to his country and never come back to the states. He is leaving me to become an imam in his country. Nothing went wrong between us . we planned a future together and now he is walking out of the marraige for a reason that doesnt make any sence. I am under the impression that he has scammed me for a greencard and is now leaving to go back to his country to bring his family. What can i do in this situation? He is leaving me stranded with bills. Im going to lose my apartment and car. I cant continue to attend school because i need a fulltime job. He has put me in a very bad situation with just 2 weeks notice . pls help me.

If you believe your husband committed marriage fraud to obtain his green card, you should notify the U.S. Department of Himeland Security. You can find contact information at https://www.ice.gov/webform/hsi-tip-form. You may also be able to obtain a maintenance order against him from family court but that may difficult if he is leaving the country.
