Is getting married bad? I thought I might suddenly meet women here who are interested in this. As far as I know, such marriages are prohibited by US law
What are your reasons for wanting to get married?
If your main intention to marry is to get legal entry into the USA while someone else foots the bill, then that's obviously a very questionable reason.
Hmm... You suddenly thought you would meet women who are interested in spending all they have to bring you here?
Technically such marriages are prohibited by law, but people are always trying to slip through the cracks.
I'm certainly no expert and I'm truly sorry if your intentions for getting married are noble. But any woman who might "apply" for this needs to know what she would be in for.
I've known many international couples over time and have seen the mountain of struggles they've had trying to work out marriages between countries. As I said, I'm no expert but I've seen how challenging it can be.
If it's a case of a United States citizen bringing someone here, there is a seemingly endless amount of legal work to get through that comes with an additional seemingly endless amount of fees. And even if they are able to get married, the person who comes to the US usually isn't allowed to legally work, sometimes for many years, which means the US citizen must be willing to provide all the finances needed for a lengthy amount of time.
Unless of course the person they are bringing here has a substantial amount of money of their own, but even then, they might not be able to access it once they get here.
I don't know all the details, but I've known people who have found out that moving from one country to the next does not mean they will be able to access their money internationally. It could be temporary or it could be permanent, and even if they can get to it, the amount they can withdraw might be permanently limited.
Now of course, if God has it in for you to marry a wife in the USA and come here, then may His will be done. But if this is something you are just trying to seek on your own, and for your own benefit...
I hope anyone else who has seen or knows about these things firsthand will share, as there is a lot to consider with international relationships that I think most people either don't know, or just gloss over.
