Foreign Men Marrying US Citizens Apparently Just to Become Citizens of the USA
I feel sorry for those women that fall for men like that. Those kinds of men are indecent and actually cowardly and selfish. But we should be careful not to judge other people's intentions - it could be that the woman's citizenship is just one reason, not the only reason. In this case, if the man found the lady to be compatible in all other areas and to be a good and righteous woman then I think it's OK.
The fact is, it is incredibly difficult for Middle Eastern men, to take one example, to immigrate and become US citizens nowadays. And can we blame them if they would be interested in coming to the US? The economic situation in the Middle East is not very promising right now.
Did you know that in countries like Egypt it is very difficult for most young men to afford apartments and to support wives. Did you know that divorce laws are becoming unfair towards men in Egypt? A lot of these men over there probably feel helpless. But of course I'm not justifying that they marry an American woman just for citizenship. However, for those men who believe in the American dream but would otherwise have no other ways to come to America it's a tempting option. And I feel that if they are going to be responsible and love their American wife and treat her right, then in that case it should be OK.
The family and friends of the lady should be the ones who are on the look-out for signs of a husband who has ulterior motives. They should advise the lady if they see that this man may be looking to divorce her in the future. For example, if the man is much younger than the woman that is a sign. Also, if the man has a much lower socioeconomic level than the lady then that is a sign also. And there are other signs too - so I think the lady's parents should go and meet the potential husband first.
So to wrap it up, I think that men who are looking to marry US citizens just to come to the USA are sleazeballs, and that in one way or another they'll have to pay for their actions. As economists would say, there ain't no such thing as a free lunch.

us citizen can i marry someone the first we met
not all foreign marriages are for visa im from uk and my fiancee is from the usa i love her very much and it wouldnt bother me if she wanted to start a life in the uk but she feels we would have a better life in the usa so thats where i will go as long as im with her i dont care where in the world i am
I went to Lebanon for 1 month and married this amazing man. U can marry someone from any country and they turn out to be complete idiots. u cant choose where true love comes from it just happens. I have met a lot of men in Australia and they only go out with u to use u.So yeah there might be lots of men in Lebanon who use women but believe me there are lots here too.
Beware!!! I married a Lebanese man, thought he loved me til death! I felt the same way! As soon as he became a US citizen, he found fault with me. The cultures dont mix! They are mama's boys. Beware, think twice, I should have. 7 years of marriage, and my life, done. Over. He's probably back in Beirut, looking for a phony chick to marry, to pass on his citizenship he got from using me, to his new family. Oh, and Kerry, he will want kids, although he tells you he doesnt want any, right? He will down the line, that will e his "out". Good luck, you'll need it.
Kerry%2C%0D%0AThink again and agin and again%21%21%21 Im from the USA%2C married a Lebanese man 7 years ago%21 Though I was madly in love%2C and low and behold%2C 3 months after he becomes a %22US citizen%22 he wants a divorce. was 41%2C he 28 when we married. Now%2C Im left looking like a fool. All the stories I chose to ignore%2C were true. Be sure. I thought I was%2C just like you. The Citizenship IS EVERYTHING. Im sure he will be heading back to Beirut%2C to find his whiny wife over there. Its a shame. Think twice.
I have just turned 48 and am Australian and I am soooooooo in love with a 29 year old Lebanese man who lives in Lebanon. I am going there in a few weeks to marry him. He is amaszing and so is all his family. Age is nothing neither is where u come from. We are so much in love. He doesnt want to come to Australia just to be here but to be with us cause I have 2 children from a previouse marriage. When u have true love it relly doesnt matter where u comefrom or how old u are all that matters is the loveu have
I agree that it is very deplorable and cowardly for a person to marry someone else just for material reasons such as citizenship, visa, etc.
I wish to un njoftohem with a girl 17 years old and I jom 18 and I wish to get one of the cities of the world Thank you
My husband married me for a visa.I thought he was genuine, he said he loved me.He dumped me as soon as he got his permanent visa.I was devastated.I dont understand how he could pretend to love me for four years.He was from Lebanon.I'm lebanese/australian.What kind of person can do this to someone else?
