husband walked out on me after 45 days of marriage and haven't filed yet

[muggle]

Dear forum members,

I came to the US a while ago and over stayed my visa and currently staying illegally in the US. Recently I met a guy who is a US citizen. Things went well between us and we decided to get married after he asked me to marry him and I said Yes..

We got happily married recently and I got my marriage certificate issued. However, at my surprise the guy disappeared for no reason and have been trying to get in touch with him for more than 2 months now. At this time I haven’t filed yet to immigration to adjust my status, and I am now decided to file for an annulment of the marriage certificate since it is a recent case.

The only thing I am afraid of is by me doing this in the court, they may find out that I am here illegally. Is there any real risks here?

Do I have to provide any justification that I am legally in the US to get an annulment. Please advise on my case as I am not sure what to do.

I appreciate your help in advance.

Kind regards,

I don't know what state you are living in, but in most states you do not need to provide your immigration status in order to get an annulment. And, if you hire an attorney to file the annulment, you will most likely never need to step foot in court.

If your legal status (or lack thereof) was not checked for the marriage license, I seriously doubt it will be checked for an annulment.

The only thing I am afraid of is by me doing this in the court, they may find out that I am here illegally. Is there any real risks here?

How long have you known this guy before you married him? Where did you get married? He simply went missing a few weeks after you were married?

I apologize, I know I'm not answering your questions nor helping your situation, but after reading your post, these questions just keep bugging me. I can't imagine why a guy would propose marriage then just walk away after 45 days.
