Jan, U r a sweet friend but this sounds soooo not good. Your instincts are right. I know it was hard to face the reality that maybe your friend that's not so hot looking could be in for heartbreak. Probably. So, why don't you help HER pretty herself up!! Most women simply DON'T KNOW what to do. At 18 her parents are probably still involved in her life. Make sure the parents meet the groom. Mom's intuition will kick in and Daddy's little girl will NEVER be made a fool of. So, encourage parental guidance. It's every girls dream to marry. Now, the other who is doing it for MATERIAL THINGS will raise a red flag w/immigration, but guess what?? RARELY do they throw someone in jail...cost too much. Less they r part of some "marriage ring" they will be fine. BUT!!! The interviewing AGENTS {and they r a highly powerful dept of the government } do not like to be scammed and highly trained in sniffing out the fake marriages.. They more than likely WON'T pass the interview process.CASE CLOSED.
