Relationships not for love, but for an easy Green Card

[Ban Hammer 13,641]

nessa married me for my rugged good looks and i married her for her money.

I wanted Jordanian citizenship

Wanted? As in you are a citizen of Jordan now?

If I didn't think it was for love, we wouldn't be together.

Actually, I'm marrying him to get an Iranian passport. Being suspected of terrorism and dragged into the back room at any international airport I arrive at and promptly strip searched and deported sounds like good times.

Seriously, it's gotta be love. I don't think any man would put up with my noxious, post-apocalyptic level of flatulence just to get a lousy greencard.

Poverty breeds desparation, but once you get past the smell you got it licked.

Maybe a nitpicky point, but I do think there's a wide range in between "using for a green card" and "purely for love". I think lots of people get married for reasons other than just for love, but that doesn't mean the marriage is not bonafide.

In that case, we definitely got married for the legal benefits associated with marriage. Love was a side consideration. We agree that we probably would have gotten married eventually, but the legal problems associated with our not being married now (then) pushed the issue.

Don't make me gas you too.

When I used to go to Seattle office for fingerprints, pictures, and the interviews. I was struck by the other folks there. Most were either really old fat balding guys with young, and I mean young wives from Cebu City, Vietnam, etc. Or really old woman well past their sell by date, with makup on you could scrape off with a shovel also with young boys from ummm Cebu City, Vietnam etc. Now who am I to say they were not in love or going through the process for the right reasons.

I would see some of them in the carpark entering their respective USA petitioners / pensioners Mercedes, Rolls, and Limousines. Nice work if you can get it I suppose.

There is no fool like an old fool, but as Groucho Marx wisely said your only as young as the person you feel, well something like that.

Cheers

Unless you can send it via ethernet patch cord, I'm not scared at all. If you can accomplish that we'll call you Houdini.

I hope thats how it works out. Asian genes can be pretty dominant you know - you might still end up with a brown eyed, brown haired, brownish tanish baby...

I second that. When I went to the Seattle office for my interview, they were so many young women either pregnant or with newborns. And god, did they look sad and not in love at all...It really makes you wonder...

I'm just in it for Chinese citizenship.
