Please tell me it's not a joke!

No, seriously...... I don't know. In Europe people are more carefully vetted and fragilised divorced women are interviewed and flatly advised not to marry. By the way, no European country issues fiancee visas apart from the UK I think and that is why Europeans marry their rats in their home countries. What a horror. I am concerned about her child. There was a woman in the UK who befriended and invited an Algerian rat living in the UK. He raped her 1 year old son.

I think she is attracted to Maghrebian physique??? And still did not figure them out. If all she gets off is this, then fine. Some stupid village rats think the K1 visa is the Green card. Or he has richer contacts who did not want to do the K1 for him?? In any case living as an illegal in the US is much better than his rat life in Morocco. He might have rat friends who help him with work and housing untill he finds another caw to milk.

Try to get in contact with her and be nice. She might not have realised she was scammed the first time around. Maybe she thought it was her first husband's character that was wrong, not his culture. Many women get on the defensive. I am corresponding with a lady who was befriended by an Algerian who is 15 years younger than her. He is telling her he'll end up in a mental hospital if she ever leaves him, but I am thinking she is the one who'll end up in a hospital if she doesn't leave him. Sadly she does not believe me. Another one is going to marry a rat who is ready to look after her and live in his own country........ untill he gets the visa I think. In the visa forums people are in new relationships and do not notice or know about these scams. Already divorced people don't usually go back to visa forums. I have read a few stories there and most are pathetic. But so is their life.

I think governments should examine statistics and success rates and tighten marriage and visa procedures for nationals of some or all countries. For instance they should require the Western spouse to learn about the laws, culture, religion and customs of the foreign country. Why not sit an exam? And if the Westerner still wishes to proceed, an appointment with a psychiatrist could be arranged. The rat's behaviour is difficult to decipher at first. Only experienced professionals - psychologists, primatologists, veterinarians could correctly link his apparently agressive and macho behaviour with his hidden cries for help. Deep down they are good beings, it's just they have needs, more needs and more needs no one can satisfy. Too bad
