As you have already read, many of the comments on this blog are from people who have been scammed, myself included. You are on this blog as you fear you maybe being scammed. Therefore, the comments made by Isis and myself were born out of suspicion, and are rightly justified from the overall presentation of your initial comment.

"When I posted my comment I had not slept for two days and I was also in tears and very upset."

Love does not make you feel like that. Love does not hurt.

"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?"

Very, very easily done. You are 'in love' with him, why so suspicious? See your answers below - your reply comment to me.

"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."............"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."............."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?"

If this guy had the number of qualifications in the subjects he says he has; he could get a job ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.

You want romance, passion, love, honesty and trust - your comments tell everyone that you don't get these things from this man - is it time to end the relationship?

As I have said before: If something is too good to be true; it usually is.
