Vietnam Relationship/Marriage Scammers

$50K to $100K, plus all expenses paid for. Otherwise, the only way anyone would do it would be

desperate, poor people. The family in Vietnam usually pays because Vietnam is full of rich people

with a lot of cash and land, who can live well in Vietnam, and the only thing they wish is to

live in the USA. There's probably families who will pay even more, especially if they are truly

finding a long-lasting union.

LOL at the 5000 that's cheap to be tied down in a marriage for 3-5 years maybe more. I know a guy from Colombia he paid 15thousand up front and now 10thousand more for the 10yr green card.

Another lady I herd of she paid some guy about 50grand for her papers.

It's common now a days amongst a lot of countries and very easy to get away with. I don't agree with it but on the other hand I won't do anything to stop it that is why there is Immigration police.

No doubt! That doesn't even cover the fine and 5 0r 10 years in prison if you get caught by USCIS for fraud.

I doubt it has anything to do with the age of the girl or whether she's a virgin. The US citizen is GETTING the money - not PAYING the money. Why on earth would anyone pay a US citizen MORE money for marrying a pretty young virgin, and LESS money for marrying a middle aged divorcee? Shouldn't it be the other way around?

Also, the girl's family in Vietnam isn't paying for this. The girl's family in the US is paying for it. How much they pay depends on how much they have, and how much they think it's going to take to persuade a US citizen to go along with it. Being introduced by a member of the girl's family in the US and having a low income are a deadly combination because they both dramatically increase the odds that the US citizen is being paid to help the girl immigrate.

Somebody once said on this forum that they believed girls with high income petitioners sailed through the consulate in HCMC. There may be some truth to this, and the above would be why. I know for a fact that there are VN families in the US who are paying US citizens to marry VN girls (and guys), and it happens a LOT.

okay, there are different discussions going on here. one is "marriage for immigration purposes only", paying the USC a certain amount of $$$ to come here. The point of the virgin is only if someone were buying a bride, though, that typically occurs in Asian countries, not that much in the US. My guess would be that if the parents are willing to sell their daughter to someone from SE Asia, they would probably be willing to give their daughter to someone in the US, if they could find a taker. Of course, most cannot find any and have to pay a USC for this.
