I had the best of intentions.

Just do not want you to be lured into something wrong. Green Card is not gotten through Finance and law. Consult the INS web site to check. So, that's the problem: Are you sure he is getting married with you b/c of you? So, since the working Visa does not work, unless he gets transference status, and for that he must apply from abroad, in this case, to companies that would sponsor him, then he already stated that it is not a problem. You get married (quickly) in Morocco?

I wish you the best, do not take me wrong. It is just he advanced so much and already exposed the track through where all things shall be done if he does not manage to come to the US, which means get married?

My second question is: If he has such an advanced degree in law and finance, in other words he is an expert, I don't you ask him to apply to a firm such as Morgan Stanley? B/C if he is so good, and then by knowing Arabic, French and English as extra qualities, he would not come to the US more honorably, but also show you that he wants you, not to come to the US. Not many people in the US know Arabic, and French and English, so he may get a good job through sponsoring.

And, if he gets it not through a Wall Street company for example, you may overview what company hires him- I mean who belongs to the board of directors, in other words, the profile. So, you may predict better what all is about.

I'm not saying just b/c I fear for so many women in the US. I'm saying that by counting on a personal experience from a former fiancé of mine that wanted to use me to come to my country. The difference was that he was an excellent neuro surgeon already established in his profession, but to come as a doctor was much complicated, due also to the diference in languages- which will delay even more his acceptance.

All I want you to count on is that disregarding what he is, he needs to show some effort.

All the best
