Is green card marriage fraud common?

American citizen wants to help out a friend/family member or just wants to get paid tens of thousands of $, sometimes more. The chance of getting caught for this crime is pretty low.

Foreigner desperately wants to get out of their country and is willing to do anything to come here.

The paperwork and hassle is really not that bad vs what you get for it. Yes it’s a felony but people make the cost/benefit analysis that it’s worth doing.

There are a lot of losers in the US who have nothing to lose, no assets to risk in a divorce, and would jump at the opportunity for a big payday that doesn’t require much work.

And a slave woman by your side for three years!!

USCIS won’t bat an eye.

And yes, a Virginia based immigration attorney told us this when our K1 fiancé visa was taking 12+ months instead of 6 mos like their website continually said. He said it’s very common.

Well then. Our visa and immigration laws continue to be a laughing stock. And unenforced

They all lie. The same kind of person who INSISTS they for real knew lemonjello and orange jello or that their mom really did teach a Sh!+head. Or that they for sure know someone who abuses Medicaid. They all lie and double down when called on it.

That's exactly my point. Thank you for understanding it.

Hardly. Contrary to what the orange bafoon tells you, it is extremely difficult to become a permanent resident in the US.

No, it is not common. Yes, it does happen.

I know 3 personally—1 in family, 2 close friends.

All were legitimately dating. None would have married when they did but for the green card issue.

So no fraud!????? Are people who get married sooner due to pregnancy also committing fraud?

Did I mention that all 3 divorced within a few years of marriage?

No fraud but one certainly has to wonder about motives.

There’s certainly stupidity at play here,

I’ll leave it to others to ascertain exactly where it lies.

It lies in your dumb speculation. I hope others treat you exactly the way you treat them and assign nefarious intent to every action you take.

I am an immigrant and I have never heard of anybody getting married for green card. All my friends got jobs after getting their PHDs. We don't need sham marriages.

None of the people who do this make more than 50k a year

I believe you’ve already done that. Bravo on the hypocrisy.

What a pathetic person you are, making up your own facts to justify your position and calling people names.

Legally yes. Fraudulently, or illegally, no. Between phony asylum cases or greencard marriages it's not difficult.

You just marry an american, get a green card, stay married 3 years, convert to citizen/ take test, divorce. Voila!
