Do saudi scholarship students sign a paper promising not to get married or engaged to an american?

Question

Will they get deported if they do?

Answer 1

Yes, actually, the Saudi student recipients of Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) scholarships are required to sign such agreements.  If they break the agreements, there are official repercussions, to include loss of all financial assistance and support from the Saudi Cultural Mission in Washington, DC.  With few exceptions, the ripple effect would include having to leave school, which would put the offending students out of status, which would then require that they leave the US.  If they were out of status and failed to leave the US, they would be subject to arrest, detention, and deportation.  So, yes, what your boyfriend is saying is essentially correct.  You might consider a misyar marriage...

Answer 2

not sure why your boyfriend would say such a thing ? maybe he just does not want to get involved ?

have you thought about this ?

he is free to marry if  he wants ........

never heard of such a thing.

Answer 3

No, the US government doesn't ask for that, and marriage is never grounds for deportation.  If the Saudi government asks for such a statement, I can't imagine how they could enforce it.

Answer 4

Not that I know of. Probably he signed a paper with his family not to marry an american. Call his family to make sure. If you don't have his family's no, then you have been had. Also, you can call the embassy for clarification.

Answer 5

Wow, that is awfull.

I can't believe they would do that.

If it's true then thats their problem.

BTW that soccer tip helped a lot, thanks.

Answer 6

The Saudi government makes them sign there because their religion does not allow them to marry Americans. he has been promised to someone else whom he will marry as soon as he returns from his schooling.

Answer 7

No, no one can make anyone sign any such statement.  Why are you so racist?
