💔 K-1 Community: When the Marriage Fails Quickly
I saw a tough situation posted in a K-1 group (image attached). A husband married his wife less than a year ago via the K-1 visa, and she has cheated and left.

He is asking three critical, and very painful, questions:

Is this something he should report as marriage fraud?

What is the process to file for divorce?

Does this affect her legal right to stay in the US?

This is the nightmare scenario where a relationship fails but leaves behind massive legal and immigration questions.

📢 I want to hear from our K-1/CR-1 community:

Filipinas/Spouses: What is your advice for navigating a separation so soon after receiving a green card?

Partners/Husbands: What resources (legal or emotional) should this man prioritize right now?

The Intent Question: How do you determine the difference between a failed, genuine marriage and potential fraud when the separation happens this fast?

Please share your thoughts respectfully. This is not legal advice, just a space for community discussion and support!

What is the single most important action he should take first?
