fraud marriage?

Obviously the marriage wont last if its just to get him a green card. Maybe she thought she was helping him but once he gets setup in our country, he will leave her. As far as your friendship, I think you should try to help her more instead of just saying youre no longer friends. Maybe shes seriously unhappy and dealing with some emotional demons.. maybe shes acting out b/c she needs help.

What a waste all the way around. the guy got what he wanted and it sounds like your friend doesn't have a clue. I hope they don't do alot of investment or anything along those lines. I don't think the marriage will last. But still, they are married. I don't blame you for ending your relationship with her. They are some things your friends do that cross the line. Then, will you take her back when the marriage is over and she is sitting in the dust, licking her wounds? Still be the friend that you have been to her for the 18 years/ The drugs and the alchohol have to have taken a toll on the friendship also. You need to decide how you feel and not what everyone else feels about you and your choice. Good Luck

She sounds completely unstable and the bottom line is, someone out of control like that is beyond your help. Being her friend is probably quite taxing on you...always trying to help her with her always being resentful. I think if you have a healthy life, it's okay to want it to stay that way. Sounds to me like this was just one of MANY things she has done over 18 years and you have decided to move on and live. No, her marriage won't last. Don't worry about it, you don't have to fix it. Do for you and true friends and live your life.

it sounds like you have a destructive friendship.. no if you cant handle her problems, you are not wrong to end it. bad friendships are no differant than bad marriages.. people stay for stupid reasons the best thing is it doesnt cost so much to get out of a bad friendship. the fact she is always doing unstable things is another sign you should have checked out some time ago.

and frankly who cares if this marriage last and why are you focusing on it? clearly its not going to last if she married him for him to get a green card.

and you should be focusing you you and your problems and letting this one go

No, I don't think it would last. The guy got his goal, he has no reason to hang around. He's probably gonna run off chasing something else now that he's in the country.

Yes, I think you were right to break off the friendship. Never ever EVER stand by someone who is doing things of questionable moral value.

Just let the Immigration and Naturalization Service know. It will come to a fast end.

It is also possible that money was exchanged to sweeten the deal. Either way, it is a fraud. One will be deported and the sponsor could be jailed and fined.

if you really care for your friend then you must intervene. it sound like your friend is sliding down a slippery slope and she won't like where it stops. just careful the longer you stay at a distance the less receptive they will be. good luck I hope I was helpful....

your friend has hot sauce in her mouth and some how you are the one feeling the heat get a life.With all the things going on in the world this is what you find to worry about.
