[US] Only option is to get married, but how?

Yes I'm here after not getting selected from second H1B and confirming with the company they won't sponsor for a greencard. I don't want to enroll for day 1 CPT schools or don't want to wait one more h1 cycle. only option seems to get married with a USC and I can pay upto 30K. I'm not Indian or chinese so expecting to have a shorter processing time. But where should I start from and how to find woman to do this? Tinder? Bars? Friend's social circle? TC: 95K #misc #marriage #greencard

30k was the rate 10 years ago. No idea what the rate is now with inflation.

2 of my friends did for 25K in Miami last year. Hoping to find a person through them

You want to bribe someone into marrying you? How bad is your home country?

IHS Markit suckmyduck OP Apr 12

It's not that bad but I just want to see how can I push myself more. Only thing keeping me is work permit

Have a good prenup. If you earn a lot and going to marry a bum, move out of a community property state.

Thank you!

Pay 30k for what? GC processing??

ex-Wipro YdOP30 Apr 12

No the idea is you pay someone to pretend they’re dating you want to get married. They have to go to interviews and fake a relationship.

Are you open to gay marriage?

IHS Markit suckmyduck OP Apr 12

I don't know if it will be easy to prove that

Wayfair itwasmenot Apr 12

That’s where the “open” part becomes important.

Yeah you should probably try social circle first. Don’t wanna get caught because random people on dating apps report you. Also, like someone else mentioned, draft a good prenup - this is where you can outline the benefits for whoever you’re marrying instead of offering a lump sum straight up. Good luck!

IHS Markit suckmyduck OP Apr 12

Thank you very much! I'm not planning to mention marriage to the dating app girls before seeing them in person

Amazon luvkanye Apr 12

That’s good. Still prefer social circle to dating apps/bars. Unless you’re confident you can screen potential partners successfully.
