It would appear that you don't know the first thing about the immigration process. If you did, you wouldn't be letting this guy rush you into marriage, mainly because the first thing they look at is the length of time between meeting and marrying. ( i'm in Canada but i'm sure many of the same signs of visa fraud are looked at by both countries ).

Sounds like you're going to marry as soon as you step off the plane which is one of the big red flags of a visa scam.

Second thing is asking for money by the way. Are you getting the picture yet ? Then immigration will want proof that this is the real deal and not a scam. Do you know anything about the kind of proofs needed ? And are you so sure about this guy after knowing him only on the internet that if and when he gets a green card he won;t leave you, divorce you and then bring the woman who could be waiting ? Many of these guys have permission from their wife/fiance to marry a western woman for this purpose.

You don't know this guy and you're going there to marry him ? You need help. I did the same stupid thing you're doing - i was desperate to get out of a rut and live a different life. But i've learned noone can ever be that desperate to do what i did. It ain't worth all the crap that came after. YOU DON'T KNOW THIS GUY !!!!!!!!!! You're being used by the sound of it.

I didn't heed any warnings but i wasn't told all the signs so please read my posts and get a glimpse of what can happen if you're not smart. And from reading your words, I'd say you don't have the street smarts to smell out a rat.
