Is anyone else dealing with something similar to this? Clearly they think that this is the only solution but I am not at all ready for all this. I've come to a point where I don't really care about any GC. I just want to leave this country at the first chance I get. Just waiting for my sister to get her college degree.

Well, the decision is up to you. If you like your bride, then go for it. If not, then still go for it.

Why? Because you are a Kenyan based on your icon flag, and staying in the US with a fat ugly wife is still better than returning to Kenya until you get your permanent green card.

Too bad the most famous Kenyan int the world, Mr. Obama, couldn't help you out. He did help out his aunt though.

If you like your bride, go for it. Otherwise, I personally wouldn't.. bc I wouldn't be happy being w/ someone I don't love.

Is there any way you can immigrate to Canada, Austrailia, Europe or something?

I think you might as well, because honestly unless you are in some 1st world country you will struggle. Just get to know the guy or girl you are marrying well. And honestly marriage is really the only way. I don't know if this marriage is real or fake but either way people can still get it and at this point I don't blame anyone for doing either.

It's not as bad over there. I have an uncle and cousin living over there with their families and they are doing absolutely fine. My dad lived there even before I was born and maintained a pretty good business that he loved doing and I had an awesome childhood growing up there. I'm confident I can get a good job with my college degree. Any way, I have another choice other than Kenya as well.

I understand where you're coming from. I've decided to wait it out a little longer. I'm not at all familiar with this whole arranged marriage situation. Ever since I finished college, I've been confined to my home. So even getting out is like a task for me atm.

So, you better get out fast and start living regular life if you are lucky enough to get a chance. Atleast you can adjust here without you leaving here. So, having said that be thankful and go with ur parent's plans, and u'll do fine.
Good luck!!!
