Illegal Immigrants.....Unfair

[idocare 3]

For many continents and countries, the bigest obstacle is getting the visa to enter America. and exit whatever continent, or country they r coming from. If your friend was granted a student visa, that says that she was able to satisfy the requirements for her to enter America on a student visa, but why she would want to marry someone that's illegal is beyond me. It's no secret that America has millions of illegals here but they are not obliged to the same priviliges as a permanent residence.

Actually there are some sponsors that are gettng involved in a fraudelent marriage and don't even know it, such as the girl from Long Island. More and more I'm hearing of these kinds of situations, just today a women from Benin was telling me that young men in Africa don't marry older women in Africa. But a man or women will marry an older person if it's to their advantage because they understand that marriage doesen't have to be

permanent.

I agree that it would make anyone a little upset knowing that others are beating the system and that your doing things the right way, when you and your fiance could of taken the short cut had you all of known, but maybe it's a good thing that you didn't know, because now you have more time to get to know each other better.

I told my friend about the student visa, but I am pretty much sure she won´t have the cash to get into a university and won´t be able to find a sponsor.

I told her to go back to her country before she gets in trouble. But you know those "heard headed" people??? Grrr.. I can´t take it...

Thanks guys for the advices!!!

Even after all of those problems she doesn't WANT to go back home...oh, then that is her own fault. I think if my husband for some (strange) reason became illegal we'd go back...and I'm the USC.

We know this guy (from South Africa) that was in New York on a work Visa that Expired on 10/12/07....He meet a girl from Long Island 2 months before the expiration of his visa, and got her to marry him on 10/28/07 just before the Work Visa expired....He is now living in the girls parents house and working on Long Island...The parents do not even know they are married...They are planning a big Wedding in September 2008......Now tell me...HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE....why do all of us have to go thur this HELL....and he is sitting pretty in New York Laughing at us,all the time and money we are spending....How can he stay in New York on Expired Visa? How can he Work?.....This is not fair....he only married the girl so he did not have to leave....they only knew each other 8 weeks....I just do not know how this is possible!!!!!

I perfectly understand how you feel.But it seems to me as if this man was just at the right place at the right time and got lucky.

With all sue respect (if any due), I think the guy should mind his own business

agreed. I have been dealing with the uscis for well over 1yr now and I deal with the public I seen and hear of so many ways around the system bottom line is my wife is still not here so many people do what's good for them. To each his own

Happens all the time.... A standard scheme for many people in poor countries is to get a "tourist" visa and then find someone to marry them in the US before the visa expires. Or get any kind of visa and then just stay as long as possible even after it expires. Who can blame them, really?

I think if my husband had been able to get a tourist visa (which isn't easy at all, even impossible for most, in poor countries) while we were in Ghana, I would have considered doing the tourist visa, then marrying in the US plan. A lot less hassle!
