Last week I was approached by a friend of mine with a proposition of marriage. She has lived in the US for 25+ years but is not a citizen, she's an F-2 (mom was an F-1). Her lack of citizenship is becoming problematic, and of course under the Trump administration that outlook is not getting any better.
I've known her five years, we are ex-lovers and good friends. I'll admit, I've never considered this direction.
Assuming that I could insulate myself from the financial consequences in the case of divorce, and that we could *prove* to the US government that our marriage was legit, what other risks would I face?
I would, of course, engage legal counsel before seriously considering any of this, but I know that many of my TERB brothers and sisters are learned in such things, and I wanted to get your take.
