The best way is to not get involved with an illegal immigrant. Tell them to become a citizen first.

This is a very common scam. I myself am in a relationship with someone who lives in the UK and i have looked into everything surrounding marriage visas etc so that i am prepared when and if the time comes that we do decide to get married. The people guilty of marriage shams make it harder for people who are genuinely in love to be together.

If someone was in this country illegally or from a 3rd world country and you meet them online or something, i wouldn’t trust them if they were quick to bring up marriage. Many people all over the world fall for this, but i think i read that American and British men are the #1 victims of this. Its really sad. I even heard of foreign women knowing they were going to leave their husband as soon as they got their green card, and they intentionally have a baby for insurance. Plus immigration has to believe they are a bona fide couple. Of course most married couples WANT to have kids, so this plays perfectly into the scam.

People should not put themselves in this situation in the first place. If they want to be with that person, then the illegal should do the paperwork, become legal, and then think about marriage,

Turn Him In!!! Or go to his country. You are part of the problem if you don’t.

Stone Cold’s links are excellent.

You really can’t tell if you are being used. When you’re in love, it’s hard to see the truth about someone. If you’ve been in love before, remember how you felt at first and how you were blind to that person’s faults. Now, how do you “see” that person? Not so perfect after all, are they?

Be very, very careful when dating an illegal, especially a female. My nephew was tricked by an illegal woman who got pregnant within weeks of their intimacy. She’d lied about taking the pill, and he discovered all she wanted was an anchor baby so she could stay in the US.

He’d loved her and was heartbroken by her deceit. He also has to pay child support for a child he barely sees and who is not being taught English.

Beware, you too could get used. I understand this type of trick is not unusual. It’s terrible she used a baby like this, but there is nothing he can do.

My advice: don’t get involved. There are plenty of nice, legal, girls out there.

Good luck.

Move back to the person’s country of origin and see if they still love you and want to get married. They will probably move onto another citizen. You probably should not get involved with someone who is illegal.

Its hard to tell but there are a few signs.
1) they dont take you to meet ANY family or friends.
2)the family/friends dont seem to like you
3)they ask too soon to marry you
4)they want a baby with you too soon(like the first few weeks/months
5)you suspect they are not talking to just mom when they call home to their country
6)they send alot of money home frequently(some is just to their parents but if it is a lot on a weekly basis)
7)they dont ask to meet your family/friends
8)they ask constintly about if you can help them get a green card

Always make sure you know the person well before you marry them.They could have different beliefs about child raising than you,or be abusive,or have a drinking problem or gambling problem.You just have to let time tell if they truelly love you or if they are just in it for the green card.
