		<description>I have a situation with my father (60) and don&#039;t know if I should call Immigration or the FBI.

In the spring of 2008, my father met a woman and a group of friends. The friends were chinese and owned a restaurant. My dad kept this all private to us and dated her secretly until Nov 2008. That&#039;s when he announced he had a girlfriend (44) and he would know next month where it was going. She was a student but has just opened up Lucy&#039;s massage and spa. He denied giving her the money, but we didn&#039;t believe him.

So, I called the spa and pretended to be a customer and just asked about the spa. She immediately traced my number and called my dad and broke up. He was mad at us, but she had a college daughter in Canada, who she couldn&#039;t get over unless she married. So, the interest in my dad.

We thought she was out of the picture. But she was still contacting my dad and talked him into buying tickets for China. He bought them in Jan 09 and left March 09. 

In the Feb, the ex-girlfriend set him up with her cousin in China. My dad and this woman emailed each other with chinese translation software for 4 wks before he left for his trip. Then he was there a week and married her. She too has a college daughter that is wanting to come to America.

My dad since then has cut off all contact with us. It has been 11 months since he has talked to me. We found out thru twitter, that the chinese daughter is trying to get into an exchange program in Florida. We believe the wife is in China.

So, I think my dad is caught up in this. Thinks that he fell involve with her over the internet thru chinese software and doesn&#039;t think that its strange that both woman have been trying to get their daughters to America. I would really like for someone to investigate the ex-girlfriend, her business, and the chinese restaurant where this all started. 

Any suggestions where to begin?

Thank you.

		<description>Well, maybe the American system, where spouses of Canadian citizens aren&#039;t automatically given permanent residence, is a more effective means to prevent such marriages.</description>

		<description>Whatever you do don&#039;t co-sign a credit card/loan with any illegal immigrants.  A scam is going around the U.S. where illegals get their green cards then run up their spouses credit cards.  Since it&#039;s impossible to know if they are marrying you for love or just to get the green card why take the risk?</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t really have any legal advice for you, so I would get a good lawyer and try to reach some kind of settlement.  I suppose there is always a bit of a danger with transnational marriages - in my view they always call for a prenuptial agreement.</description>

		<description>I was helping Martha so much. After her divorce I offered her my house. She and her 3 sons lived in my house for three years. I helped her with so many things: house, car, driver’s license, doctors, surgeries, money. 

She told me she wanted to be my wife. I agreed to marry her so she can be legal in this country. I was then that trouble started. 

There is a law in this country called Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). Under this law a woman can simply claim that she is a domestic violence victim and she gets all the help she needs: Housing, Legal, Psychological, Medical, Employment and Immigration papers to stay in this country… 

She contacted a VAWA agent, Laura Mora of the International Woman’s House, and claimed there was verbal violence. After being in the shelter for a couple of weeks she signed a petition for a Temporary Protective Order that was full of lies. 

When I met Martha in October 2005 she was a Domestic Violence Victim and I wanted to help. I never imagined she would end up accusing me of the same. I offered her and her 3 sons to stay in my house. 

In august 2008 she asked (begged) me to marry her because she was out of legal status in the US and wanted to become legal and needed to see her son in Mexico. Again I wanted to help and I agreed. On Aug. 27 – 2008 Martha and I got married. 

Immediately after we got married her behavior changed dramatically. It became clear to me that something was totally wrong with our marriage. Martha threatened me to “leave me a present” meaning “send me to jail”. I thought she was under a lot of stress and again I felt pity. On Oct. 5 – 2008 I filed for immigration for her and on Nov. 9 – 2008 for her 2 children. 

Martha had managed to create a deep conflict between her 2 children and their own father and now she was working on doing the same between her 2 children and me. Her children’s behavior was becoming more and more unhealthy. When I discussed her sons’ situation with her she lost her temper, and later she would turn that into Emotional Violence in order to gain Immigration Benefits. On November 27 she told her son, Raul to cut off the TV cables which he did in 4 places. 

As I realized the situation was becoming very unhealthy I asked her to look for another place to stay. On November 29 Martha went to the police which escorted her and her children back to our residence. On Sunday Nov. 30 2008 Martha informed me that she intends to stay married only for the purpose of gaining Immigration Benefits.  On Monday Dec. 1 2008 – for the above reason - I filed the Divorce Petition. 

Martha immediately began to look for ways to retaliate against me. She contacted Laura Mora of the International Woman’s House, She joined the Domestic Violence Program - VAWA claiming there was “Emotional Violence” against her children.  

On Dec. 19 2008 Martha and her children left our residence and moved to a Dekalb County Domestic Violence Women’s Shelter (the International Woman’s House).  Martha left to the shelter using my 2007 SUV that I lent her. 

On Dec. 31 2008 I came to Martha’s sister’s house to wish them a Happy New Year and to pick up my 2007 SUV. When I was driving the vehicle away Martha and her two sons ran out in front of the vehicle in an attempt to forcefully stop the running vehicle thus endangering their on lives and mine. 

On Jan. 8 2009 Martha filed a petition for a Temporary Protective Order with Cobb County GA Superior Court –  FALSELY accusing me for domestic violence against her and her children. On Jan. 13 2009 when appearing in front of the judge Martha committed Purgery for the first time. 

On Jan. 23 2009 the Temporary Protective Order – was dismissed by Cobb County GA Superior Court judge – finding Martha’s accusations to be FALSE. At the court session Martha committed Purgery for the second time. 

While giving her testimony Martha referred to events that allegedly took place on a trip to Orlando , FL in June 2008, proving that when she asked me to marry her in August 2008 her intentions were dishonest. 

On Jan. 29 2009 the FINAL DECREE of Divorce was granted – by Cobb County GA Superior Court judge.</description>

		<description>Thank you I am. I also will be filing complaints with the Department of Home land Security, and the FBI as he is putting my daughters information in the hands of potential terriost. The people he plans to get his fake documents from are criminals. They could also steal her infromation and one day provide a terroist with fake documents and put our nations security at risk again. I have taken this theft very seriously, and I am reporting it to every high authority I can</description>
