Why don't you look for a real husband instead of a illegal fraudulent marriage? If you get caught you will be deported and the man will go to jail. I know this from fact as a relative took $10,000 to marry a girl from south America and they got caught and now she can not come back to the US for a minimum of 10 years and he went to jail. The only up side for him was he got benefits while it lasted.

I am sure that in New York City there are lots of eligible guys if you applied your self. But then again it is only a Visa you want and not a Husband.

AS I always state just my opinion to each his own.

LOL! I was having dinner with some business acquaintances during the time I was waiting for my wife's visa approval. My relationship came up in the conversation and one of the guys told me: I know a Japanese businessman that would pay you $10,000 to marry his daugher! He was dead serious!

Hi,

I don't condone fictitious marriages. I think if you really want to stay very much, why not explore other legitimate options such as becoming a student or seeking employment here.

If you decide that you truly would like to get married then find someone that you would really like to be with.

I hope you find a legitimate and legal way to stay. Good luck!

Thank you for your interest in the RMP
This is not a place for instigating illegal activities.

Hi jirnova81,

Yes, as the owner of the forum, I cannot advocate doing anything illegal.

But, I would like to speak about the idea of some immigrants in the U.S. marrying to receive a greencard.

I think that this happens more often that we think.

Although I don't know any married couples who have married for a greencard, I know of another Russian woman in Los Angeles who came to the U.S. on a work visa. She wants to stay, and was considering how she could best stay in the U.S.

One of her friends introduced her to one of her American male friends, and suggested that the two of them be married.

The man wanted her to live in his house, and pay rent, and did express that he knew that it would be a marriage without a sexual relationship.

But, she started to feel uncomfortable with the man, and was asking herself: what is the reason that this man would agree to marry her? What would he be gaining?

In an arrangement like this, I think that we should think about what everyone would gain in the situation.

Obviously, the woman wanting the permanent immigration status, would gain a visa and an oppportunity to stay in the United States.

But what would the man be gaining?

There might be someone, who is a close friend of of an immigrant, who might be willing to marry because they care about that person as a friend and wants to help them.

But, because of the legal risks involved (marriage fraud is a crime in the U.S., even though the U.S. Government would need clear evidence to convict someone), what would a stranger gain from marrying someone he doesn't know?

In the back of his mind, is he thinking that he probably will receive sex at some point, or, does he have hope that a relationship will eventually develop?

Why would he put himself in legal risk for a stranger?

This Russian woman I know of who was considering marrying her friend's friend, was told by this man that he was doing it because he would receive a further tax break. However, it seems that he might only save 2 to 5 thousand dollars per year in taxes. Was that his real motivation?

So, we need think about why a man, who you don't know, would marry you to help you with a greencard.

I know that you might feel like you are in a difficult visa situation, but you need to think very carefully about what your best options are.

I do hope you heed everyones advice.

I can't see marrying someone you have no feelings for regardless of the gain.

I know you are looking for a way to stay but besides the wrong thing to do, it seems you would also have so much to loose!

Consider this, if you get caught you could be expelled from the United States for a period of 10 years. Why take that risk????

I think you have more legitimate options than you think! You are already here so obviously you were approved previously and you would have a good chance of being approved again for the same or another type of visa. Take advantage of the opportunities that exist such as school and work. You are here and could look for an employer that might sponsor a work visa for you or you could consider going to school.

Talk to immigrants and see what they did (as long as its LEGAL).

Even if someone agreed to do something illegal they may have expectations of you that you would not like. They could use the "green card" as a means to extort money, sex, etc from you.

Ultimately you would pay in one form or another!

My thoughts EXACTLY.... I even sent message to moderator this was a bad post... but, guess not!!!

Posted by: searcher

We discussed it in the moderator forum and thought that if we made some restrictions we would not be aiding her .

BUT we also thought the issue of marrying for alterior motives was a topic worthy of discussion.

We realize it happens and wondered what both men and women thought about it and how often does it happen.

I will lock the thread and start a new thread with the title: Fictitious Marriage, it can be found here
