  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 am a US citizen petitioning to bring my husband from Ghana. He genuinely does not want to come here but I just recieved a scholarship to attend law school that pays for 2/3 of the tuition. That was the clincher and, not wanting to limit my life opportunities, he agreed to come. He loves his country, he loves his family and he's not a person to go outside of their comfort zone very often. I actually married him, in part, because he is a Ghanaian. There was something exotic, beautiful and perfect about the fact that he's only once ever owned an Xbox and only so he could let the neighborhood children play for 100 old ghana cedies. He thinks video games and comic books or a waste of time. I guess simply put, it wasn't until I went outside of the US that I found someone that had the same values, beliefs and lofty ambitions that I do.

in the middle eastern area of VJ I know of only one marriage that was real. Pretty much, we are being used.

Stereotyping an entire group of people serves absolutely no purpose and has no place here on VJ.

Please refrain from comments such as this going forward.

Kim - Does Admin of VJ believe that stereotyping is the problem, or the attempt to hurt someone's feelings with the stereotyping the problem?

Kim, I like you and respect the work you do here, but amidst the mass of bleeding hearts, I'd just like to say that these stereotypes aren't created by accident.

And that's it, basically.
