Re: INS marriages
I've spent alot of time in Syria, and marrying into the US/Western Europe is like the Syrian dream, for males and females alike. I certainly don't blame Syrians for pursuing this path, for alot of them, particularily the women its the only way out.
An interesting dynamic i've noticed, in the serious legitimate relationships between Americans and Syrians the whole marriage/greencard thing hangs over the couple like a bogeyman. The Syrian always feels paranoid that their partner/friends suspect the true motivations of the relationship. The American always has a haunting suspicion along the same lines. Goes with the territory is suppose.
