Puerto Rican Marriage?
929162
Puerto Ricans are US Citizens and enjoy all the rights, duties, privileges, and responsibilities as any other US Citizen.\n\nIf you married one, your status would be the same as if you married any other US Citizen.  If you had no disqualifying aspects (serious criminal history, prostitution experience, etc.) you  could get a K visa first and apply for a conditional resident status (then you can get an Employment Authorization Document (EAD), and then a Permanent Resident Status.  This takes over 2 years.\n\nOnce you got your permanent resident status (Green Card) then you can get divorced and bring in your other wife or girlfriend.  Of course you will go through a nasty divorce and your exwife (who thought it was true love or true money) will make your life as full of misery as she can.  If she "rats you out" to immigration that the marriage was all a scam, then there would be a hearing and you could lost your Green Card and be deported with a permanent bar to re-entry.\n\nAfter five years you could apply for US Citizenship.  After getting your citizenship, then it is safe to divorce her, because you can only lose your citizenship if the government can prove fraud on your application (i.e. lied about being a Nazi guard at a death camp).\n\nOf course you will have ruined her life and that of any off spring that you may have (if she did not do it for money, then she will have kids to further trap you).\n\nAnd then there are her brothers that you will have to deal with.....

I have a friend who is Puerto Rican and He was talked into going over seas to marry a Cambodian girl so she could come here to America!  He does not speak English well. and She speaks no English at all!\n\nAs yet she has not appeared on the scene, but in truth, how would they live, they have no common language, and no common back ground.\nMaybe her family thought the better of it and made her stay in Cambodia, and wait to get to America honestly.

Most people don't know that this question comes up in PR *all the time* and Puerto Ricans consistently choose the status quo. Why? They are part of the US, they receive federal development assistance, but *they don't have to pay federal taxes*. I would say this is a pretty sweet deal for PR, and since PR represents only a tiny part of the U.S., the vast majority of other Americans don't care one way or the other.\n\nIn referendums to decide status, the vote is almost evenly decided whether to become a state, or to stay the same (the latter has won, obviously). About 5% vote for complete independence. So it's clear that the vast majority of Puerto Ricans enjoy being part of the U.S.\n\nTrips to PR from the mainland are considered "domestic" (not international), PR is served by US Mail and has US Zip codes, the phone & electrical system are the same as in the U.S. However, they have their own team in the Olympics and other international competitions (then again, England & Scotland are separate teams in the World Cup...)\n\nBut the most important takeaway is that the U.S. *DOES* allow PR to choose what it wants for itself and will abide by whatever PR chooses. The fact is that Puerto Ricans seem to want to continue the current status.

Well, in Puerto Rico there are a lot of ppl that are part of the religion Santeria.  So I imagine there may be more people examining their ESP and paying attention to such things where as here in America we blow such things off as coincidence

You should really check with Canadian Immigration before you get married.  I don't believe just marrying her ensures that she can come.  It might depend on where she is immigrating from, whether she has a criminal record of any kind, ie, even so much as a DUI infraction.  I know a Canadian woman who married a man from Trinidad and she did eventually get him here but it took approximately 3 years.  Go to the Canadian Immigration website and check what it says there.  Also, might give them a call if you want to talk to someone there for further answers to your specific situation.

I was also celebrating. He got married when I was 20! My parents got married AFTER 20 years of living together. This type of decisions are common here in Mexico.

The citizens of Puerto Rico are US citizens because Puerto Rico is a US colony.\n\nThere has been much debating about this issue in PR.  Some want PR to become a state.  Some want independance and some like it the way it is.\n\nThere are pros and cons for each and it will be in the hands of the Puerto Ricans to decide.\n\nGuam is also a US colony.\n\nAnd anybody who says the Puerto Ricans are lazy are ignorant and should not be allowed to breed.

That's a good question.  I don't think Puerto Rico should become a state; most Puerto Ricans agree with me.  The average per capita yearly income in Puerto Rico is about half that of the US national average.  I'm not an expert, but I do know that different tax, wage, environmental, and various federal laws apply to Puerto Rico that are not uniform with those in the 50 states; integrating the island into the US law system would be difficult.\nA higher percentage of Puerto Ricans have served in the US military than almost any other minority ethnic group.  Puerto Ricans have fought valiantly in all of America's wars since PR became part of the US.  Their loyalty is unquestionable.\nI'd like to see a study that shows how much Puerto Rico's economy benefits the rest of the US, versus how much money we lose each year because Puerto Ricans do not pay federal income tax.  I'd bet we don't lose much, if any.\nPuerto Ricans have been given the chance to change their island's legal status, but they have freely voted time and again to maintain the status quo.  I'm fine with that.
