[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Long ago, knew of two. One was a straight up GC sham wedding. They were friends and it was more of a gathering/celebration that someone got to stay in the country. This was a long time ago, and I went to this 'wedding' with my then-boyfriend. Never knew what happened to them.

Second was a good friend. They started out roommates, then started dating, and when he was having trouble going back home to visit family because of the Persian Gulf War (long time ago too), she said I'll marry you. We already know each other, we live together, we're dating, we'll pass. She agreed to stay married for longer so they didn't trigger any review.

They are still married - it turned out great for them![/quote]

So the second couple not a scam at all? Why even use them as an example?[/quote]

They entered the marriage fully intending on ending it and doing it only for the green card. I thought I made that clear. It just so happened that they fell in love and decided to stay married. But the day she called me to say she was married, I was like "what??!!" and she said, "just kidding. I mean, I am, but not really." Another way to put it -when they went into their interview, they were sweating it because they knew they were - at that time - lying.

But it just so happened to work out, so good for them.

But they were already living together and dating? Something is not adding up in your story.[/quote]

OK, so none of you think this was fraud? That's cool. 
They lived together as roommates. Placed an ad and answered and became roommates. Started casually dating but religious view absolutely prohibited him particularly from marrying her. The [I]only[/I] reason they got married was to get him a green card and they planned to divorce once that was secured. I'm not seeing how that's not fraud, but that's cool if you don't think so.

They told no one in either family (I was one of very few people who knew) until they decided to stay married and then got remarried/first time married for family. She wound up converting to his religion years later which "allowed" for the marriage to actually stick. But that original marriage was "fake" for lack of a better term. To this day, her family has no idea she was ever married prior to the wedding they want to four years later.[/quote]
