Good topic Len, and I agree with you. Marriages fail all the time, for uncountable reasons. Yet here, on VisaJourney, most failures are automatically blamed on immigration fraud, it's ridiculous.
There has been some discussion in this thread about people not wanting to leave the U.S. after the marriage fails. So? I fail to see how that fact in and of itself implies fraud. I also fail to understand why people automatically want to send their ex-spouses out of the country. So you signed an affadavit of support, oh well, it was your choice, your risk.
The thing that annoys me most, and I am not saying it happens all the time, is the " I brought someone here from county xyz and they used me just to get to America and it's been over for 2 weeks and I need to know how to do another petition for my fiancee from the same country". Who was frauding who?
Marriage is hard, period. Yet we all choose to enter marriage with tremendous amounts of baggage, whether it's culture shock for one, the fact someone gave up their family, their jobs, their friends, everything right down to favorite foods. Then throw on top all the stress of the immigration process, and I would be willing to bet there is a far greater likelihood of divorce for us. Yes I know fraud happens. But I don't believe it happens nearly as much as it is claimed here. Sometimes people just need to put on some big girl panties and face reality.
