just some advice to others ,if you think your spouse is committing marriage fraud,chances are its NOT the only fraud they are involved in ..check their paper work,don't wait till they exit stage right ..check their emails , change your locks ..what you find may be a HUGE eye opener to you and everyone and marriage fraud might only be the least of the issues.... a persons criminal behavior usually doesn't just start with a marriage in america .. , just saying you know

The problem is..because of financial constraints, budget limitations and lack of resources, these cases are usually not giving the attention they deserve by DHS. Hopefully one day it will change. I personally think it is very disgusting for people to do this.

Hope they will seriously look into it when the fraudster reapply for their green card.

Yeah I believe if comes up when the immigrant is seeking further benefits. But I believe a lot still slip through the system undetected. Smh

I find it odd that they wont pin this thread. There are many people that come to this forum who have obviously been scammed and wonder what their next move should be. Brian has laid it all out nicely as far as what steps should be taken. While the number to ICE is at the bottom of every thread, I find that very inadequate. Maybe it's in VJ's best interests to see that scammers get away with it.

Lol seriously now Karee, you dont really believe VJ endorses scamming and fraud do you? Or its somehow in their best interest??

But I dont necessarily agree with the official explanation given on why it couldnt be pinned waaay back when first requested.

Because it would have to be pinned in every single forum -

Thats just not true. There are certain topics pinned only in the effects of family changes forums like Change of status as a widower and FAQS, and other ones in the K1 forums like Yes you can visit and the RFE master list...

So no, it wouldnt have to be in every single forum across the site, just this one. Perhaps they are just opposed to the title as their official stance on how to report fraud is to use the link on the bottom of the page so subsequently the pinned title should be changed to an alternate way to report fraud or something like that.

I don't know what to think. It seems odd that informations as important as this would be denied "pinned" status.

I'm not saying it's intentional, but failed marriages equal more web traffic to VJ. If you take one swing at the K-1 pinata and it doesn't work out, you get another swing if you're so inclined.

I think it's pretty easy to dramatically cut one's chances of getting defrauded by someone out to get to the states. Not eliminate, but decrease substantially.

At least when it comes to Southeast Asia, the mistake I see people (mainly western men) making is getting involved with women they meet online/through dating services. As someone pointed out up-thread, there are numerous professional scammers who make a bloody good living doing this. I've been to internet cafes in the Philippines where I have personally witnessed women chatting/camming with up to 10 foreign guys at once. She 'loved' them all and probably half of them were sending her money every month.

I feel it very necessary to point out, I have many, many friends, and amazing in-laws, in the Philippines. As an example of what I mean by amazing: my in-laws let me live with them, fed me, and asked nothing from me, for many months when I had no resources, no job, and no prospects. They aren't wealthy people by any stretch of the imagination, but they've always loved me and looked after me as if I were their own flesh and blood. So this posting is not polemic about Filipinos all or mainly being scammers. To the contrary, all it takes is a very small percentage of unscrupulous and/or desperate, and/or lazy people to make everyone else look like #######. Nearly everyone I have interacted with in the Philippines over the decade I have been visiting there has treated me fairly, at a minimum, and more often have been kind and welcoming.

I did not meet my wife through a dating site, or online. She had never thought of coming to the U.S., and never found American men terribly appealing. We ended up together despite my being American, not because I am. Now that she's a citizen, we're trying to decide which country we will live in for the next several years. I have qualms about raising our son in a country where all that matters is being forced into being liked everyone else - a cog in the machine to further enrich, and be obedient to, the ruling elite. There may be no absolute escape from that, but at least in the Philippines, I feel like he will have a chance of valuing the love of his family above whatever useless consumer junk the conglomerates are telling us we must possess.

to which must be added: majority of this topic's sponsors created a USC occupation, symbiotic to the overseas scammer. If they consciously open this Joint Venture (JV), then why summons USCIS resources at sunset?

Of course, the way to engage a foreigner is via doing something useful in foreigner's country - and meeting up spontaneously. Anything else is entrapment of the foreigner, and a USC is an equal party to all the ugliness purported. nota bene: this covers the general concept; and of course, there are always exceptions
