Yes, you can marry smeone who is in the country as a tourist, and afterwards apply for legal permanent residence, which does not require a lottery number. See the site below for the process.

The LTTE really are terrorists. I don't know much about the laws governing the UNHCR, but I think that he should simply settle somewhere peaceful in this world. Thailand or Malaysia are pretty good. Its relatively easy to  get a visa in Thailand. And lots of nice women!!! Best of luck to you and your friend.

Apply for citizenship, I agree with the 1st answer. We would welcome you with open arms. Will pray for you. Good Luck!\nI wish everyone felt the same way you do about immigrating to the U.S. You sound like you would be an asset to our country.

I did it.  I moved to Hong Kong from the US without knowing anything about it. Then I moved from Hong Kong to Singapore without knowing anything about it.  (read my bio).\n\nThe best things about it were (in no particular order):\n\n1. Starting over.  Not that I had a bad time in the US, but it was more than refreshing to start with a clean slate, where nobody knows you and you leave all your baggage behind. \n\n2. Independence.  There are few things more testing than having to do everything yourself.  Need a new apartment? Where to find food? Find new friends? Learn how to get around? Learn a new language?  You learn to leave all your petty excuses behind, kick a** and do things for yourself.  There is noone left to blame.  No one to get into a fight with.  Man, am I stronger for it. I went from being a passenger in life, to driving the bus, baby!\n\n3. Perspective.  With distance and isolation, comes perspective. For some, family becomes much more important.  For others, the toxic relationship becomes obvious.  This will be where you will learn a bit about the forest you used to live in now that you are a bit further from the trees. \n\n4. Patriotism.  I am not a flag waving jingoistic guy, but I am a whole lot more patriotic now.  You learn to love and hate your country much more, but mostly you just care more because you left because you had the freedom to choose to leave. There is nothing like spending 4th of July with marines off duty from the Gulf and letting them know that you love them and appreciate them - regardless of your political views. \n\n5. Extroversion.  You're going to get a lot more open and extroverted.  You're going to learn to say "hi" and talk earnestly with a lot more strangers because a) they are in a similar situation as you and b) you will be miserable cat-lady or couch-hermit if you don't get out and about. \n\n6.  Cosmopolitanism.  You are going to meet people from all over the planet that bring great color to your life.  The crazy guy from South Africa who introduces you to Castle & Booervoers.  The Russian real estate lady who could crush any person who got in her way. The Brazilians who live next door and won't say no to a get together.  The Australian couple who end up being your best friends.  The locals who embrace you as a local. \n\n7. Education.  As your mind opens up to a whole new world, you realize that you don't know jack diddly.  You'll suddenly feel small before the great ocean of knowledge in the world. I have never been so envigorated to learn new things everyday.\n\n8. Love.  I met the woman of my dreams, who was smart, adventurous, fun, travelled and professional.  She wasn't waiting in some bar for me in the US, she was out and about experiencing life!  We're married and have a little peanut running around now.

I married a Filipina. And let me give you some serious advice,. If I had a choice to do it all over again I would not do it. Not because I don’t love my wife because I do very much. but the amount of crap and time and money and aggravation you have to go through with the INS .. it simply is not worth it. I truly honestly don’t know how anyone ever emigrates to the US at all anymore. This has been a total nightmare. Please be forewarned. It is not an easy thing. It takes many many years to resolve. I married my wife over in the Philippines 4 years ago. And it took us about a year for me to get her to the US.. and once she was over here. It was truly a night mare as there are so many forms to fill out and on top of that the incompetence of the INS is just unreal. I think that all the stupid people in the world have been employed there. You will never get the same answer two times and are forced to send them more money for things that were their mistakes to begin with. Just letting you know. it is not all roses.

If I understand you correctly, what you want to do is to go to your local Justice of the Peace or City Hall and they will marry you. You'll be legally married.

Ala-eh magandang umaga!  I'm an American...have many Filipinos working for me aboard my ship...some are from Batangas...Batangueños are hard-working, smart, and funny, just like all Filipinos (and Filipinas).  Would love to go there some day.
