For Fyldefolly and Isis...

Unlike you suppose from my "grammer" and word usage, I am a medical student. When I posted my comment I had not slept for two days and I was also in tears and very upset. I did not expect to be treated unkind from my first post...thank you. Secondly, I am well aware than this site is primarily used for "Muslim" scam related questions. However, I was surfing online and found the stories on this site to be similar to mine. I was hoping for some advice. As for his degrees, I have copies in my pc and I met his former classmates in France.... some of whom are now completing their phd's in Physics. Could the documents be forged?

Thank you for your warnings about "red flags". I did not begin a fiance visa. He has applied for several employment positions in my city with his degrees..meaning he made the effort to ask for sponsorship through a work visa. What would he need me for if all he is after is a greencard/citizenship? He can apply on his own with a work visa. I thought it could be the potential money I will make later.

On the other hand, that is "potential" and that is a ridiculous amount of effort to make on his part. Does he love me? Does he want money? Is it easier to use me to get into the states? Certain behavior makes does send off red flags for me as well. He was just too perfect and now he has anger episodes. Could he just miss me or is about the fiance visa? He was higly insulted when I asked him what his intentions were...saying he loved me, of course.

When I asked why he has not visited me he gave financial reasons, which is true..."we" have no money for now. If anyone can tell me why a man who studied science and works as a programmer making around 3500/month would send 3000 of it to a girl in another country, it would be extremely helpful. Would a man make that effort for US citizenship..with his education? Am I paranoid? Lastly, I want to thank the moderator/owner for allowing my post regardless of my man not being Muslim. Could it be that he/she agrees with me that this site is valuable to ANYONE trying to avoid being scammed? Thank you.
