I also do not recommend it especially if it is not real marriage.You will spend a lot of bucks and live in fear at least for couple years.If INS finds out that marriage was only for green card,you and your citizen wife will face 5 years in prison and over $100.000 fine.Think about it.

stanford is right. You have to live in constant fear and you and the person you marry will be interviewed every so often to see if you are both married for real. They will ask you very strange questions:rolleyes:. If you are not looking for real marriage, more than likely you will "marry" a citizen who will ask you to pay them :?. My advice--marry someone for real, not just for the green card. My mother personally knows people who "married" immigrants, get paid and they never got caught, don't ask me how:shock:.

Aight, appreciate your aid above people, and I just wanna get things straight, she is my girlfriend and we are like dating for 8 months, she is from Estonia, and she is a permanent resident in USA for 6 years and she doesn't have her citizenship status yet, so that's the real case, I mean we can handle at the INS, Homeland Security or whatever. But she is a resident of another state (MD) and i reside in a different state(DC). what are my chances? thanks, beforehand

She has to get her citizenship first. Then you guys can marry and file all your papers. Make sure you have few thousand $$$ for applications and preferably hire an immigration attorney. (www.aila.org)

this is what i do, I hope things won't turn around, and IF (hell no, ne day Bog) I get a refusal from INS, can they deport me? (I am still legal alien here till 2008) and will she have any serious probs? Can we reapply?

All you would have to do is to file I-130 and I-485 forms.
To be able to file it your wife has to be US citizen.
When you file those forms and send them to USCIS you will
get legal status to reside in United States. At the same time you may
apply for EAD (employment autorization document) and advance parole (permit
to enter US without visa).
If you marry her now you will not be able to apply for a green card
based on marriage, but you may still reside in the United States as her dependant,
which means that you will not be able to work in US.
