I'm asking for a friend...He's in the process of having the conditions taken off of his green card. Though married "in good faith" his relationship with his wife has become unbearable. He's bent over backwards financially to even get her to comply with interviews, home visits, etc.
Recently, he went to his home country of Brazil to deal with his dying father's estate (which is substantial). He was alone in his father's house when someone shot through an open window and almost hit him. Friends close to his wife have sent him messages that imply that she arranged for him to be murdered.
He has no proof of anything, of course. No one witnessed the gunfire. The Brazilian police chalked it up as random gunfire (not uncommon outside of Rio) and have dropped the case. Because it didn't occur in the US, the local police have no jursidiction to even question her.
Now, he doesn't know what to do. He's afraid to even call her and tell her where he's staying. Without ANY kind of proof that she's behind the attempt on his life, how on Earth does he get around having to deal with her? He's willing to abandon the green card for a visa instead so that he can travel to the US as his business is international.
He's afraid to even retain a lawyer in the US because they'll contact her and his Brazilian lawyer can't help him with US immigration. What should he do???
Explain to your friend that he likely is eligible for an investor-based visa, either as a permanent resident, or a non-immigrant visa subject to treaties between Brazil and the U.S. The investor route may enable him to avoid any further dealings with his wife or possible accusations of marriage fraud. We specialize in such visas.
