It really depends on what kind of an officer you get. I know someone who married two women just to get money. The second time was especially suspicious (right after he became a US citizen). He was literally only marring illegal women and wasn't even living with them.

So the interview was separate right from the get go due to suspicion.

He was asked things like "What's the name of the street across her house" "Why don't you live together?" etc. He didn't even know the street name. Thought he failed, yet it worked out.

Imagine if you actually marry someone you love and want to spend the rest of your life with but you are bad at remembering things and they deny your petition. Maybe you're also not good with showing affection in public/around other people as well? What then? Appeal? Sue? Not good.

Also most of those officers will be straight and might not even know all the ways a legitimately in love gay/lesbian couple might act. Some people just have the personality of a doorknob.

Now of course, get an officer who doesn't like bullshit and you'll risk deportation. But it's definitely possible to get ready.

Like I said previously though. If you are marrying just for a green card and paying them, then it's easier to marry the opposite sex (if you have the money). I assume (like you mentioned) most straight people don't want to have a gay marriage on their record. They likely wouldn't want to go around announcing it to their friends either. What if that officer decides to check your facebook and sees that you are actually dating a woman or are single and looking for women? Haha. I don't know if they can do that, but what if? There's definitely complications.

But yeah, there will be people who will pull it off I'm certain.

Now of course... They could just pass CIR. :D That would help prevent such fraud with both gay and straight marriages! It would also mean that the money would go USCIS instead of some person who decides to enter into such a sham marriage. But it's not like I need to convince the people here on the merits of passing CIR.

In the end If I were to say now that "I'll do this!" that would mean I'm probably joking. Don't know if I could have a gay marriage and then divorce following me around. Maybe in the future I won't give a shit. As long as I get what I need right? Whatever it takes :roll:.
