the best way to get in on a perminant basis Marry a Yank,even then you will have the lns knocking on your door asking 20 questions every so often to make sure the marrage isn,t a scam,but best of luck anyway Glen
Thats just crap! We got married almost 5 years ago, went through the immigration process, and even though it took a long time to get the initial appointment, he got his green card on site with no waiting. They never even asked us one question about our relationship at the interview. The INS official actually spent the time talking to Patrick about vacationing in England. I don’t think he even asked how we met. And we haven’t heard one word from INS since then other than receiving the renewal form to remove the restrictions on his residency.
To show you that INS isn’t exactly as rigid and heartless as some people think,… my income level wasn’t anywhere near high enough to sponsor Patrick, but they elimated the financial requirements and waived the regulations that require a co-sponsor if the income isn’t high enough… because they could see we had a legitimate marriage. As long as your marrying for love and not for a green card, there’s nothing to worry about.
