Should I ask this girl to marry me so she can stay in the US?

Question

I have been dating a girl from Taiwan for about a week and a half. I only met her about a month ago. She has to go back to her country in a few days. Her lease expired on her apartment, so she has been living with me. She is currently in New York on a trip she planned before I knew her. The night before she left she told me she wanted to stay with me but can't because her student visa expired and she has no money. I was looking up how to renew a student visa online, and the only way is to get married. We could get married in Reno for only $55, and I am a student so I can't afford a real ring but I could afford a CZ ring. Also one more thing, I am 22 and she is 26 (But in October we will both be 23 and 27). I know it would be selfish of me wanting her to stay, but she wants to stay too. I also realize that I havn't known her for long enough to really know her. But I really want her to stay! What should I do?

Answer 1

I would not jump into marriage.  Let her go back make some money you finish school then hook up.  If it is meant to be it will be.

Answer 2

Stay in school because Buddy, you got a lot of learnin' to do. This would be one of the biggest mistakes of your young life. Don't be a fool. If she wants to stay, it's up to her to initiate the process, not yours.

Answer 3

Absolutely not. She came to the US on a STUDENT visa. If you marry her DHS will view that as visa fraud and deny her petition to live in the US and deport her. Additionally you will have committed visa fraud and can face fines and jail time.

Go see her in December and if things work out for you two later on petition for a fiance visa legally.

Answer 4

WHAT the Fulock are YOU thinking? Look, kid, women are a dime a dozen . . .let her go!!!!  You'll be doing yourself a BIG favor if you do. Don't be entrapped between her legs. Let her GO!!

Answer 5

No dont' do it

Answer 6

To marry her: NO!  

Visit her in December.  You've already said you don't know much about her so why subject yourself?

Think things through before you foolishly embark on a journey that will be life altering!
