To Stephanie re green card / not seeing reality

Stephanie, everything you said is so true. Women just don't want their magic bubble burst.

You should report this guy to the government agency that oversees immigration and let them know this marriage is fraudulent. Maybe the woman was part of the deal to allow him to stay in the U.S.

I wish governments would be stricter about flagging marriage fraud. Here in canada the government gives the spouse his permanent resident card right away - no waiting, no hassle - and that has women up in arms because they have to sign a sponsorship agreement saying they'll be liable for any welfare the government gives the foreign spouse. Many women here have lost their homes and life savings because of this rule. The U.S. and Australia ( not sure about Great Britain ) have stricter laws but fraud still happens.

Glad you had the sense to dump that jerk.
