i was just reading your comment, and i felt that i should write to you.

i wanted to first say that i am an american, and i am engaged to be married to an egyptian man. By all definition, i should be the one with the most money and really i am but i am also a single mother with a lot of bills. The man that i intend to marry is going to pay for everything..my flight, our wedding, my ring, dress, and a flat for us when i come. He told me that whatever money that i have or bring is for me.

I know that he is sincere so i agreed to help out with the cost of immigration...but it is not a requirement for me..the man that i intend to marry is not rich by any means, he works in accounting and he is working extremely long hours to raise the money..I am not intending to rub anything in anyone's face..but to make the point that if a man truly loves you and knows that you are apprehensive about the greencard scam...he will do anything that he can to pay for the expenses, or atleast half or most of them.

About the immigration issue...there is a form that they have to file on their side of it, but, it is not to be filed until yours is filed..they have to have receipt of yours before that will be accepted..i cant think exactly what form it is...but its on the statedept website...Be careful ladies, dont risk being heartbroken like that, their are plenty of men that are good and sincere..
