QUESTION
What rights do I have as a sponsored fiancee if my fiance refuses to marry me?
Asked on Mar 31st, 2013 on Immigration - New York
More details to this question:
I'm already here in the US for 2 months now through fiance visa. I gave up my decent and stable job I had for 17 years in my country and gave up everything else because of his promises that I will have a step up of my life here in the US. What's torturing me now is the thought of where and how to start my life now after my fiance told me that he realized that he's not into marriage because of his fear of commitment.

Unfortunately you don't really have any realistic options beyond simply returning home.

Legally, your ex-fiance is responsible for you financially while you are still physically in the US because he submitted an affidavit of support on your behalf when you apply for your fiancee visa (K-1).

Unfortunately there is not much you can do. You will have to leave the country soon.

Likely none. You are required to return to your country 90 days after admission. If he decides to marry you after 90 days, then there maybe possibilities. However, this is quite a risk with no assurances that he will change his mind. I strongly recommend an appointment with a competent and experienced immigration and visa attorney before mistakes are made, Which may even include your departure from the United States. I have practiced immigration and visa law for nearly 20 years. The above is general information, not legal advice, and does not create an attorney-client relationship.

If there is no abuse or violence and he just doesn't want to marry you, there is not much you can do. You will have to leave the country before 90 days expire.
