One of my friend's uncles almost got suckered into a similar situation. Fell in love with a prostitute from Bangkok. He was close to bringing her home, but thankfully he started to listen to his rational mind rather than his penis.

That really sucks for your friend OP. Amazing how low some people will go to get into this country. I hope the judge sends her ass packing.

whoa, maybe its true. u ARE a closeted bigot :)

While that may or may not be true, I'm certainly smart enough to know that marriage scams are fairly common in many shit-hole countries. Marrying an American just to gain entrance to the country and a green card, along with the opportunity for easy cash is a scam widely known...

But go ahead and blame my comment on bigotry. If that helps you sleep at night...I'm fine with that.

damn. that's a long time to keep up an act, but then that's what it takes... there's always this risk when marrying a foreigner from a developing country like india/china. I think it's fair to say for most of these women immigration/money is a big incentive. the question is if that's the only thing they want...

good luck to your friend. hope justice is served and his dignity restored.

:hmm: pics of the girl

PIC or BAN!!

Seriously though, she will be found out if she attempts to apply for a job as the SSN is needed.

What can she do with the Green Card? It will expire after a certain date anyways....

There's so much I can write. I was on the phone for two hours.

If he wins, her dipshit ass is deported. I guess greencard-through-marriage is conditional for two years unless she says she's been abused. But he also has all these emails indicating otherwise.

That doesn't change this shit-ride she's been taking him and the family for. He already spent $8K juggling two lawyers.

Well hopefully it all gets sorted out for him. I imagine it will take a while, but please keep us updated.

That's fucked. It's one thing to scam the System, quite another to scam a Person like that.

Lol at the ATOT basement dwellers club. Like you guys really have a shot of anyone marrying your asses. If it makes you feel better to say you choose not to be with a woman than more power to you.

did he lose any $$ other than the family heirloom/jewel? does she have a legal right to half of his stuff?

also, he might want to get checked for STD's. nothing about her can be trusted at this point.

I have 2 things to say:

What does this have to do with the speed of light?

Most of the more 3rd world asian countries do this all the time. They act so happy with the other person and marry them, move here and bring their entire family (or enough money to bring them back later) and get green cards. Ive heard this story many times from different people.

He's not going to owe her alimony for such a short marriage. Hopefully he can get a good attorney, even though it will cost him a lot of money to get away from her. I was briefly married to a money grubbing, cheating whore, so I know how this is going to go for him.

If he hasn't, he needs to cut off all communication, secure all his money, property and belongings, and lawyer up quickly.
