[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was talking to a friend and he mentioned that he’s been propositioned several times for a sham marriage to perpetrate green card fraud (was brought up because I’m dating someone here on a visa and things are starting to get serious). He said [b]it’s actually very common in many communities to do this where someone gets legally married and fakes their relationship history, and it’s often difficult for USCIS to prove. [/b]

It kind of blew my mind that people will risk imprisonment and go through the hassle of marrying someone you don’t love just to make $10-20k. Why doesn’t this get talked about more?[/quote]

Because once you are a part of that community, lots of people who need GC become very dear to you.  I don’t know of cases of outright fraud - marrying a total stranger, but I would do it for a close friend.  Heck, my college boyfriend was a closeted gay, and if I knew, I would totally offer it to him for free, just to get him out of the home country.  That marriage would have been way better than many on DCUM.  I didn’t know, and he stayed in the closet back home, and eventually died of AIDS.  His sister still thinks he must have gotten it from some dental work.[/quote]
