It's kindof illegal though... http://marriage.families.com/blog/marrying-for-citizenship

Well... I guess if she is a really really really good friend you could make something work out ;P

Edit: I remember hearing that the interview consists of questions like where is the toilet paper, and lots of other 'trivia' to make sure that you are actually married.

That's actually another thing about this...she's in a serious relationship with someone who is a natural citizen afaik...kinda stupid they have to separate 'cause of this :\

This whole visa thing is kind of retarded. I don't know anything about green cards or w/e, so...I can only guess it was never an option?

They already did. It's called "The Proposal" and it came out last year.

The interview depends entirely on how much they believe you. If you submit convincing evidence during your application the interview is just a formality. My wife got just about every question wrong including her address and name.

She had one. They decided not to sign off on her visa, so now she no longer does. Apparently the employer has to like pay for travel expenses for sending someone back to their country if they decide to terminate the employee if they sign off on their visa. She was a new employee fresh out of college so...snip snip.

If shes been here as long as you say she could easily try to take the citizenship exam and become a citizen.

I know some stories like this. It makes me angry. People who live in a country their whole life, get education, are totally integrated in the society, ready to start their lives as young adults have to move back to "their" country from one day to another, where they have nobody and feel like foreigners.

no boarders, no nations!

it is probably overkill, but it would definitely be the most romantic thing ive read on the internet if you did.

doitdoit. we are rooting for you.

make sure you blog about it

As real advise, she should talk to an immagration lawyer if she hadnt already.


most romantic? nah - this: http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/blogitems.php?site=rayzorblade&page=3

That's exactly what I thought of as soon as I finished reading the OP

Do they send someone and check your house as well?

Fake-marriage-into-citizenships is kinda common in China. I was talking to a friend recently and he was telling me that they pay you a good amount. I don't remember the exact number... but it was a good chunk of a year's salary... (like 20-40k?) but you could only do it like once or twice or else you're going to get busted by the gov't.

Also when I was young, I had a uncle who used my family address as a place of residence for him and his 'wife' (he didn't live with us and i've never seen her). The only thing I remember was him rearranging his things in one of the rooms and taking some government official around the house to prove/show the official that he lived there with his 'wife'.

Since divorce is so common nowadays and the reasons for it are many, why not get married for like a year or two. And then just go and get caught cheating or something. I'm pretty sure the government wouldn't say, "hey! You're not allowed to cheat if ur married to someone from outside the US!"

Or would they?

They didn't visit my house at all. And you can get married to a foreign person and get them citizenship multiple times. The only burden of proof is that you need to convince them that you got married in good faith. If you do then it works, if you don't then you may have problems.

In my case my wife was given a conditional green card, once she's had it for 2 years she can get a permanent green card. But even if we were to get divorced before those 2 years are up she only has to convince them that when we got married we intended to stay married.
