Relationships not for love, but for an easy Green Card

By Uncle Wally in General Polls

 Share

Are you being used/using someone for an easy Green Card?  

161 members have voted

  1. 1. Are you a US citizen who's in a loving relationship, or are you being used for an easy Green Card?

    • I've come to the conclusion that I'm just being used for an easy Green Card.
      5
    • I think it's for love, but I've sometimes suspected that I'm being used for an easy Green Card.
      12
    • I think my fiance/spouce is with me purely for love, I just happen to be a US citizen and he/she needs a Green Card in order to live with me here.
      79
    • I am not a US citizen (vote for this option so as not to skew the poll, then vote honestly in the following poll question).
      65

  2. 2. Are you a foreign national who's in a loving relationship, or are you using your American fiance/spouse so you can get an easy Green Card?

    • I'm not really in love, I'm just using my American fiance/spouse as an easy way to get a Green Card.
      8
    • A little of both. I love my American fiance/spouse, but if we had to live in my home country and couldn't move to America, I probably wouldn't marry him/her.
      3
    • I'm with my American fiance/spouse purely for love. I'm only getting a Green Card because I want to be with him/her, and he/she just happens to live in America.
      76
    • I'm a US citizen, not a foreign national (vote for this so as not to skew the poll, then vote honestly in the above poll question).

I'm in it for love and only love. My fiancé, his family and friends know that I don't really want to live in the US, I just feel I have to. He has other children and is a great father so I would never take him away from his children. That is why the girls and I are moving there. It was an extremely difficult decision for me to make, but I made it and I own it now.

I pray that one day he will feel that his kids are gonna be old enough to understand and that we'll move back to Canada! :) we'll see.....

That's a great poll to have and I'm glad to see that some people are honest about what they are doing.

So far I haven't met any Canadians who came to the U.S. just to get a greencard.... :no:

I have met a lot of illegal Canadians who don't have green cards and just live here.

as long as they bring timbits for me i'm happy.

am i the only one that finds charles' reply completely shocking?

I find it hypocritical, although I'm sure the actual intent was just silliness.

apparently some are missing the fact that they won't bring timbits for me ;)

Of the 60foreign national respondents to this poll, 9 of them are in it for a green card. That's 15%!!

I do not envy USCIS.

I replied like that of course!!

Do you really think I would take such a piece of ####### poll/thread seriously???

we're two peas in a pod cause that's how I voted.

I'll tell you what marrying for love is - laying next to your snoring husband and not punching him in the ribs or suffocating him with the pillow.

:lol:

I put up with the snoring but I recently figured out a new trick

Life is a ticket to the greatest show on earth.

Known someone who just divorced her husband after him (take note he's a real nice guy) ,sending money too for her family back to her country....and after she got her green card...she's now in the hands of a new man. Didn't even reach the 1 year anniversary of their wedding!!! Its just disgusting that some people use other people. She even told me that her marriage is sacred than mine because i just got married in a civil wedding :wacko: Talk about being sacred!!! :angry: Sorry i just feel bad that bad things happened to good people like her husband. Anyways..karma will soon come for people who use other just for Green card!!! :bonk:

The topic comes up on this forum from time to time, we've all heard the stories. The simple fact is that some people marry US citizens for an easy Green Card, not for love.

Let's have a poll on the subject. Being an anonymous Internet poll, your secrets are safe here. :whistle:

Vote, and vote honestly.

And even though my wife is 15 and I'm 62, I think she really loves me.

I love my fiancee and just happened that he is an American. I'm not a racist...I love my country Philippines but he wants me to stay with him here in his country.

I've had so many experienced in criticism about marrying him,let's just say for greencard matter and to just escape from my poor country but it don't bother me as long as we love each other that is important.
