Would you marry someone just so they could stay in the US legally

post #1 of 11
Thread Starter 

This thread got me to thinking http://www.mommysavers.com/c/t/206725/woman-married-3-men-so-that-they-could-stay-in-the-us, and there is no way I would do that.

only if I was in love with them and would marry them whether they "needed" me to or not. If it was just to keep them in the country nope. I view marriage very very seriously. It isn't something meant to be used and taken so lightly.

A friend of mine did this. The woman promptly racked up about $40,000 in credit card debt under his name and went home to Denmark.

Only if I were going to marry him anyway.  I wouldn't do it just so he wouldn't have to leave.

Hell no!  I married a foreigner for love and all the time and money and tears and bull crap that went with it, it we weren't it love I would have killed him during that process!

I have joked with Dh that if he suddenly passes I promise not marry until Ds is 18. After that I am going to find a young well built hispanic guy who needs a green card.ROTF.gif I have not meant the second part in seriousness, I cannot think why they would have an loyalty to you.

No, and I don't even need to read the article to know that it is illegal to do that.

No, I wouldn't.

I had a family member who did it for a friend. His family paid her for her trouble. They stayed married for several years and then divorced. Yep, I know it is illegal. Remember that thread about not being judgmental.... lol

I would marry Alexander Skarsgard to keep him from being deported to Sweden and Ryan Gosling  to keep him from being deported to Canada. ROTF.gif
