Topaz, my husband is turkish and i'm the victim of marriage fraud. Read my posts please. Be very very careful - men from this country are known for marriage to get a visa or green card and can be very sly and dishonest. These men ask for marriage very quickly - it's one of the danger signs of a scam. He sounds religious in which case be extremely careful - families in that country want their sons to marry women who are 1) Turkish only 2) BORN muslim, NOT converts 3) younger than the man 4) virgins. If the family accepts you and seems to love you, it's a possible sign they are helping their son become wealthy by getting to a wealthier country. Abuse and honor killings are so common there, also infidelity. My husband is most likely married to a second wife while we are not even divorced. Be so careful please.

Is hs name suleyman aydin by any chance ? maybe his 2 brothers ahmet and abdullah are trying the same scam
