Men marrying women for visas.

Today's Sun newspaper (the British one, not the Nigerian one) has an article about men who marry women purely for a visa. You can read about it at http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/wo ... visas.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I will be showing that to a couple of Africans who insist they really really love me.

Nice text but actually, is it insightful? I mean, it´s all just about Hassan, one single randomly found person. I don´t believe all behave/think like him, both to the better and to the worse. Nice reading, yes, but somehow...thin on facts. The next visa guy will have a totally different story and motivation.
Wayne, I think a more proper thread title would have been "Hassan marrying women for Visas"

(Yes, I know "the media" like to personalize statistics, developments and numbers.)

Well it is the Sun "newspaper". We should be grateful they don't reenact the whole thing, including the wedding night with good looking models playing the characters and spending all their time in their underwear

Wayne, I think you remember my story about marrying an African by proxy! Yes, I know what I am telling here because now they are couples and live here in our place. As we know these kind of people knows how to propagate any documents. As long as they have the money and connections then it is not difficult to marry anybody by proxy. Another one even propagated a death certificate of a wife, in this way he was able to apply a visa for his supposed to be children and he declared himself as a widower. Luckily after a couple of years the immigration office discovered through DNA test that he lied right from the very start. He was not a widower and the children that he declared that was his were children of some other people who was welling to pay that African guy to be able to obtain visa for their children. This African man was deported last year. I knew him very much because he got a temporary employment in our company as a part of integration program sponsored by the government. I never liked him right from the very start.
