Can Marriege really be the answer???

I hear so many different stories about marrying an American citizen, that I don't know what to believe anymore. What's the truth about this topic???

i'll answer it really quick cuss i have an opinion on it too, yeah you can marry an american and file for legal status...but to me, it's a moral issue, i don't wana marry an american for that...it's wrong to me. Or what i've seen people do to cheat the system to get their papers...i'm happy and satisfied with my girlfriend, she's not american...she is studying here abroad, from germany/finland. Up to you though, but it's not so easy to fool the government. Make sure you love her xP.

it really depends, marriage is probably the quickest way, but there is a lot of stuff, as far as paperwork, and documents that you have to have. not exactly sure, but i know it can be done, and a lot of lawyers say it is the fastest way to legal status.

Marrriage can be an answer to legalization. My brother just got married a few months ago and is already more ahead in the process than I am and I filed in 2003!

The reason why is because he entered the states legally with a passaport, unlike me illegally.

My advice to you is not to marry only to obtain legal status. Marry because you love the person. Another of my friends also married out of high school in 2005 to a U.S Citizen and is now a resident. She was planning to marry this person and obtaining legalization was just a plus.

Really think about it and seek a legal expert on this matter because it is such a huge step. This is the little I know about this matter. Hopefully it helped you out
