Actually the chances of getting caught are not quite that good, but they are VERY thorough. I've worked with many immigrants that have done the same and so far everything is good. I'm not advocating it, and the penalties are indeed harsh, but did want to say it does work sometimes. I've been offered the same many a times (though I must say I would classify none of them as "hot") but I am WAY too chicken to tempt it.

I understand that this was important to you, but more important than money is the relationship between you and your sister-in-law.  \nJust take a deep breath and ignore it.  Seriously, that's not gonna be easy.\nBut peace in the family is worth 20 bucks, dont ya think?

File I129f.  This is the fiance visa.  It will take about 6 months for the process to complete and she can get her visa.  Once she is in the US you have 90 days to get married.  Once you get married you need to file I485 which is adjustment of status or a green card.  I765 is a work permit and I131 which allows her to leave the country while you wait for the green card.  Good luck. \nGo to www.uscis.gov and you can download the form.  Don't hire an attorney, they just charge you for stuff you can do on your own.

you can make a deal... I'll sign these papers if you lower the amount owed. If your friend hasn't seen the kid, has no relationship, then he should at least allow the kid to have a Dad by signing over his rights. Maybe he could get a stipulation that makes it an open adoption?

As of 2/9/06..(subject to change)..I plan to just go to the courts this August to get married that way we can be sure to have a honeymoon wherever we like. \n1. We are 22 & 24 years old. I am a senior in college and he was a victim of Katrinia so we don't have a lot of money to spend.\n2. Also our families are 12 hours away from each other so which ever state we would choose to wed one of our families presence will be limited.\nSo we have decided to have a reception or party after we are married in each state for our family.\n\nHe actually was the one who wanted a big wedding but it didn't matter to me. I rather prepare for our future then to go in to debt because of one day. Some of my family and friends will be upset once they hear this news but unless they are paying for most of it this is how its gonna be. Besides, I have enough student loans!!

ok there are more complexity's in marring someone from anoughter country. First are you prepared to responicble for her for the next 10 years if you file for divorce. I will explain why in a few mins.\n\nTo marry someone from anoughter contry contrary to beleaf she doesn't become a US citizen. Secondly you will need to file paperwork with Naturalization and Immigaration Service (NIS) for short.\n\nMy recommendation is seek a Immigration Attonery for this. It will make things easier.  \n\nFirst thing you will need to do is file a patition for a fince visa. This will alow here to come visit ya in the states. Secondly you will need to file paperwork to prove your income. You can been on disablity or collecting food stamps last time I herd it was a min income of 13,000 a year. Now one same form you will need to have your last 3 years income tax returns. You can get copy letter from the IRS to prove this. She will also need proof of your relationship. She will also have to get a physical and be tested for HIV. ok on the same form you will also say your responcible for her for 40 quarters the next 10 years. Even if you get a divorce and the state says you don't have to pay any alimony or support this doesn't stop you from your legal obligation of paying money back for the next 10 years if she files for wellfair while you are separated or divorced. This is federal level. But don't be supprised if the bill evently adds up. when I married my first wife I'm divorced from her now. It cost us like $4,600 bucks. But also if remember if you don't do the proper steps and everything legaly if she gets cought she could be baned from the US for 10 years or Perminately.

My fiance and I have been toghether for 6 years.  We know we are going to be together, and I would probably end up losing the ring somewhere anyway..  SERIOUSLY.  If he HAD to get me something, I would prefer he spend the money on something we can have or do together, or put the money he would have spent on the ring into savings.  Because no one should ever get married until they can support each other.  That is what being married is all about.  I don't know why all these KIDS are getting married, but they are living with their parents, or having to call home for money, or having kids...it makes no sense.  My sister got married 2 years ago, had a big wedding, and now she is divorced.  We have been toghether for 6 years, and we are still together.  We just finished college two years ago, and will not be married until we are in a financially stable position to be married.

Apply for a K-1 visa (Fiance(e)).  Check out the website for information that you will need.  Once approved, she will be allowed to come to the US to get married.  Once married you then apply for a permanent visa (green card).  Check out the website and be prepared to spend some money.

Better to apply for a "fiance visa" before she comes.  She can visit the US without a visa, but then she's a tourist.  If she marries you she still has to go back within a few months!\nGet the visa, then when she arrives you have to get married within a certain amount of time.\nBe prepared for a mountain of paperwork, and also you have to prove she's not just doing this for the green card.  You know this girl, right?\n\nwww.uscis.gov

If you are willing to pay a lot of money, it shouldn't be hard.  A Russian girl wanted to marry my boyfriend for 2 years and pay him 2 thousand dollars.  I said maybe if it was $200,000, but $2,000 won't get us anywhere.  I wasn't gonna let him get married and divorced while we were together for that kind of money, I make that in less than a month!

The INS no longer exists...Good Answer slick!\n\nYou sister needs to get on the ball soon!! She is almost ouside the window, she needs to apply for a K-1 visa for her future spouse. The K-1 will give her 90 days to get married, after she is married she will file for a CR-1, the CR-1 is a conditional resident (Spouse of a USC). There is a 2 year conditional period that they must remain married. Within 60 days of the 2 year anniversary she MUST apply to have the conditional status removed, failure to do so will make the UK citizen deportable!! Once the conditional status is removed her spouse will become a IR-1 and subject to all 237 Deportability charges until he becomes a Naturalized USC (if applicable).

She can get you a fiance Visa to enter legally the US and you have to marry her within 90 days.\n\nAfter that, it gets complicated.

I want to say 2 years is a long enough time to save money,..plan a nice wedding and to live together.  I think that is an important thing.  If you can't live together  your marriage will be hard.  Just my opinion.

Well she is now illegal in this country! The whole thing about the k1 visa is that she has to marry you to legalize or adjust her status! If you two are already married, she is supposed to have condition residence until you both apply to remove those conditions after two years ! So if she left, her green card is only good for two years! Which brings me back to my point! She will be illegal after two years.Notify USBCIS on the situation! If you have already done the I-751( Petition to Remove conditions on permanent residence) Regardless if you signed I-864 ( Affidavit Of Support) I am afraid there is nothing you can do if she doesn't want to come home. Still notify USBCIS on the situation though! What sucks is you still me responsible for them after divorce! Re read the form and get a lawyer! Sorry man , but good luck!

If you are marrying someone that is wealthier than you and doesn't make you sign a prenup.  Haha! A wedding should be a celebration of you and your spouse getting married. Do what you want to do to make it special, but I wouldn't look at as an investment.
