What You Need A Green Card or Something? (408 hits)
Does anyone remember the scene from ‘Phat Girlz’ when Monique’s character asked the guy if he needed a green card? How many sisters here even know what a green card is? I thought about these questions after I stumbled upon one sister’s sad story. According to Attorney Shusterman’s website, “Each year, over 400,000 citizens of the United States marry foreign-born persons and petition for them to obtain permanent residence in the U.S. Spouses of U.S. citizens are considered "immediate relatives" under the immigration laws, and are exempt from all numerical quota limitations. In other words, marriage to a U.S. citizen is the fast lane to a green card.” http://www.shusterman.com/marriage.html Let this be a warning for all of us here to do our home work first before marrying anyone especially people from other countries. Know their Immigration Status!!!!!!
African American woman married to __________ man. Read and see what you think.
...'I married a __________ man almost one year ago. We met online and dated long-distance here in the States. He admitted to me prior that he married another American and was paying her for the green card. Situation went bad and they separated, but she did not withdraw the petition. He also never received background clearance or the green card. He came to meet my family and we dated for six months long distance. Long story short...I quit a well established position and moved to him. We married and after a few months I filed a petition to support his green card. I recently found he had a_________ girlfriend and was trying to have a baby with her. The s*** "hit the fan" and he stopped seeing her. Of course the trust is gone. Since I now have a position in which I can work from home I have decided to move back to my home in another state. He, of course, supports this because he thinks he will have his cake and eat it. This is an educated man who makes sure I have access to material items, but obviously is looking for his country girl for a relationship. I truly believe he loves me, but is used to his country women and cannot be open to a woman with different cultures. It is unfortunate that most _________ men cannot be honest and do not value the love and trust they are given from their American wives..."
