I have to agree that it's a puzzle how Danielle could qualify to sponsor a fiance. From what I hear, it's lots harder to get K1 than when I applied (2007),especially from high fraud countries. And Tunisia IS a high fraud country. No way would his family pay Danielle to marry him. They could have gotten someone much younger, etc., if they were going to pay. HOWEVER, traveling through the Dulles airport, I happened across a woman (and I use that term loosely) who had just returned from 2 months with her "fiance." OMG, this woman made Danielle look good. This woman was dumb as a rock, unattractive, poor, and PREGNANT. All the time, I was saying to myself WTF is wrong with you, you moron? She was on disability, yet had gotten the money together, I think from her brother, who probably wanted a caretaker for her. I see some of the people who are put in Administrative Processing who are real couples with years of history, yet these "couples" must have breezed by...who the hell knows?
Like I said before, many of the Arab men find a community to hang out with, who advise them VERY WELL about how to "work" the system. My ex and I remain friends, he works hard (for himself) and has grown up a lot. But he told me stories of how some of the ones he knows cheated on taxes for business, paid people in large cities to marry them until they have their green cards, etc. It does piss me off that they come here and USE our resources to cheat the government.
We never had to attend a meeting for AOS, but we had a real marriage, believe it or not. But he was immature and had anger issues, so I finally had enough and said goodbye. The women I know married to Arab men either put up with them or leave. Most are now divorced. The men are usually waited on hand and foot growing up by the women in the household, then expect that from their wives. They expect to lead the same life they had over there, doing what they want, hanging out at coffee cafes, etc. To me, that's not a marriage, but everyone's different.
