Think about it, this gal coming over isn't going to have a job... you'll pay $10k a year just in her maintenance expenses alone.... food, clothing and many as of yet unknown expenses.

She isn't coming from Vietnam by any chance, is she? I was asked to do this too, but the money isn't worth the hassle. And it's illegal.

This is a felony so the rewards (such as they are) certainly aren't worth the risk.

Doesn't seem to make any less sense than any other marriage.

But yeah you should be able to get more than $40k.

Perhaps you missed the part about it being illegal.

True that! 50% of all marriages end in divorce...the other 50% end in DEATH. I don't think I like those odds at all!

Yeah, because that ALWAYS stops people from doing things, right?

Just get a roommate and eat ramen.

That's what I did..... and I have a hell of a lot more than $40K now...

Ramen comes in a lot of different flavors now. When I was raised, there was Chicken, Beef and Pork.
