I am a victim of a marriage fraud. I am a foreigner and the person who defrauded me took the advantage of it. He made fake documents to make me to sign (such as fiance visa), send me a fake lawyer's letter by fedex to convince me that we are legally married.
He lied that he had cancer and took money from my family (still have some evidences to show that he intentionally did that).
He defrauded wedding money after getting the money from my family but he was married.
He used my bank account and credits cards, and applied credit cards without getting permissions.
This case has been investigated by the police, but they think that it will be better this case will be go to a civil court rather than a criminal court.
Is there any way that I can handle this fraud as a civil lawsuit?
If so, how much money do I actually have to spend?
Is there any lawyer who can see some evidences and help me to see if there's any possibility that I can actually pursuit this as a lawsuit?
