Hello,
I'm 20 years old.
I came to the United States 1 year ago.
Since then, I've been living with my father and my step mother.
Throughout the whole year, I've been helping them to pay the mortgage, Sometimes even when I didn't/couldn't. When that was the case, they stole money from my wallet, asked me to deposit money to their account, and then gave me a check which eventually bounced.
In total, they owe me 30K dollars.
They applied for my Green Card.
I didn't receive it yet, it is still pending.
Now they're threatening to cancel my application if I don't pay their mortgage every month.
I want to study, I'm 20 years old, and I spent my whole year paying their bills, and now they're blackmailing me / extorting me.
I don't know what I can do anymore?
Should I just go back to my country?
I mean, there must be something that I can legally do to stop them.
I don't care if they cancel my green card application, I want them to be punished before I go back to my country.
I don't know what lawyer to contact, or even if it my case has any ground.
Thank you very much for your help.
