using the system

[PrettyGirls 1]

Sorry all, but I've just got to be very blunt here.

Eric, if you truly love her, then what’s wrong with marrying her? You don’t just marry someone for the sake of the paperwork, or get them over here so you can kick the tires and take her for a test drive in the U.S.! That has visa fraud written all over it! What do you mean to see how well her English improves? If she can’t speak English very well, how do you expect her to get a job? Without a work visa, she wouldn’t be able to legally work anyway!

The K-1 seems faster than what? Getting a B1/B2 visa? You don’t “claim” you are engaged, though there is no rule that says you have to be engaged to get a K-1 visa, only that you get married within 90 days of their arrival in the U.S. “Fake marriage”? Are you mad? Why do you keep asking if anyone here has done that? Are you hoping someone on here will give you advice to break the law and commit visa fraud? Well you’ve come to the wrong place. The only stories we hear are about people like you who come here and try to stir up problems. You give no information about your fiancée, where she is from, yet you say you love her and can’t be apart from her, but you’re “not ready” to get married! Your story is full of contradictions.

For those of us who do love our significant other and wish nothing but to be with them, as you put it, are applying for K-1 visas LEGALLY!!! We intend on marrying our significant others within 90 days of their arrival. We are not committing visa fraud. We are following the laws of the United States. So lets see… you take marriage very seriously, but not the laws of our country? You would enter into a fake marriage, with a woman you love so much and can’t be without, but you aren’t 100% sure. It sounds to me like, until you’re 100% sure, you better suck it up and get used to being apart from your girlfriend. Must have been nice to go see her once every 3 months. Sounds like you should have stuck with what you were doing. There are people on here that haven’t seen their fiancé(e) for over a year, yet they remain committed and true to following a very long and tedious legal procedure, which you have come here to make a mockery of!

The title of your thread “using the system” says it all. I suggest you go elsewhere to find your answers and not cause any problems on this board for the rest of us, because we don't use the system. We obey it and follow the letter of the law.

Well said.

Not to bust your bubble or anything, but the easiest and less suspicious way an immigrant can commit visa or marriage fraud is by following the law!

Many immigrants come in with work, student or tourist visas and hidden agendas in mind!

OH damn!!! You just busted my bubble... And you are? And you are on this board for what?

I wasn't talking about work, student, or tourist visas now was I?

I know you weren't!

I just tried to make it a point that some immigrants who have ulterior motives purposely do things legally, regardless of which visa they had to come in.

Even K1, K3 and CR visas have been fraudulently used by some immigrants, just to be able to get here! How many cases such as these have we not seen right here on VJ before?
