Re: Don't be so naive
O.K. lets be realistic about it.
My family emigrated to USA from Europe.
Why?We were persecuted.Nevertheless, coming to
USA for financial self-betterment was on our mind also.
What is wrong if a person
from a poorer country wants to better her/his life (and help
his/her family)? Nothing!
If I still lived in Europe and I wanted to come
to USA, would I prefer to fall in love with a European lady
or American lady?American, of course.
There is nothing wrong with being ambitious, striving for better
life and achieve your goals in life. It is wrong to
knowingly marry someone without love, for the sole purpose of becoming a citizen.
I have heard of many horror stories.
If you marry someone with a high moral values, brought up
with ideas that marriage is a holly relationship, she/he
will not dump you after getting her/his green card.
Look, you can marry your own kind and if you don't know how
to hold on to your sweetheart, you will lose her/him
no matter what. 50% of couples divorce in USA.
So if 50% of Diminican+Gringo marriages fail, that's still
within the normal limits. Two interesting notes:
1)Two different immigration lawyers told us that U.S. INS
has put Dominicans and Colombians on the top list of
"false" marriage category.Any comments?
2)I noticed that there are more Canadians/Europeans here
intermarraiges than Americans.Am I wrong?If not- am I opening
a can of worms by asking why?
All you guys and gals that answered my original post, why don't you email me directly and I'd love to hear about how you met
your sweethearts and how difficult was it to overcome the
cultural/language barriers.How did your families/friends react?
Please let me know.
