Just wondering if anyone had any personal exp. or knows someone who thought their
wife/husband loved them only to find they were being used, so the individual could
come to the USA ? It seems to me that the marriage route is the one the INS looks at
the hardest when it comes to fraud.
Doug (CDN) Amy (USC) petition sent - Jan 24 1st NOA - Jan 29th 2nd NOA- ??? Packet 3
received - May 29th checklist/bio form returned to Montreal - May 30th Interview -
??? Move - ??? Marriage - ??? First fight - ???? New house - ??? First fight about me
watching to many sports - ??? doug's first tornado or hurricane exp. - ???

There have been a few posts about this in the group in the past, though not
frequently. It is always a risk, however, for the US citizen. That is why you should
not do this process unless you are very sure that this is a valid relationship.
Taking your time in the relationship is one good way to help make that decision. It
takes about 6 months usually, before your brain overtrules the groin. If after six
months you are still sure, then the chances are better that the relationship is real.
There is no way to be totally sure. You can find this issue addressed on these pages:

As an addendum note, there are also risks for the foreign fiance. I had an e-mail not
to long ago from a fiance whose US fiance was high on dope when she met him as she
got off the plane. She was not prepared for this at all. Obviously, they did not
marry. It was a very painful experience for her, I think. There are
misrepresentations possible on both sides of the ocean, do be aware.
