Re: INS marriages
Anyone here have an "INS marriage" or know someone who does that actually worked out well? e.g. 2 people who had not been dating, but decided to tie the knot for citizenship purposes?
I'm Canadian and have a US g/f who i've been dating for around a year. I'm nowhere close to marriage, but i'm now starting to have work visa issues, and i get so frustrated when i think how many hoops i have to jump thru just so they'll let me work here, pay taxes, and contribute positively to your economy. I'm not ready to do something as crazy as an INS marriage, but...well, let's just call me an interested observer at this point. I want to know just how 'streamlined' a process it is for someone from a 1st-world country who's been in the US for 10 years attending top schools; or does all of that not matter, and i'll be just as scrutinized as the cattle-herder from Uruguay who marries a poor American girl he's been "dating" for 2 weeks?
