INS marriages
I have a close friend who married a girl so she could get in the country. The two of them represented themselves as married for the entire time that they were required by INS to be married (the process was supposed to take less than two years, but guv'ment being what it is they had to be married for five).
At the end of the five years, instead of getting divorced, they stayed married and are still married today (10 years after the initial marriage).
The interesting thing is that almost everyone to whom I tell this story knows someone who married completely for INS reasons AND it is often the case that the couple stayed together after their five year yoke was up.
So: Post here if you know anyone involved in an INS marriage (or if you were in an INS marriage or considered an INS marriage) and if there are interesting related details.
