Immigration question.

Need help with a question about Immigration for a friend please help me?

• My girl-friend got marry five months ago with her six month boyfriend who is in the United States with a student visa. she married in love or that is what she thought so she didn't care about his situation since she is a citizen she told him as soon they get marry she was going to help him with the papers. Since he is Muslim they never live together or have sex before marry. So now a few month after their marriage she told me that things didn't work as they thought there were going to be, they are good as friend but not as a couple any more is hard for them living as a couple, she doesn't get use to his believe and style of life that he as a husband want her to do too, but she doesn't want to divorce him because their paper are already in process they are just waiting for the interview day, she doesn't want to harm him with that, but she is actually starting to see someone now her ex-boyfriend and she wants to go back with him, and she thinks that her husband is also seeing someone too, she really doesn't care because she doesn't see him as a man anymore, but her concern is that this will get her on trouble with immigration and think is a business. My main question is that if they will have any problem with immigration, because of what they are doing now dating other people and they are marry, Immigration might think they are doing it as a business and that she is getting pay for it which is not the situation he is only paying for the paper work, but not paying her at all, but since the papers are in process already she just want to do him that favor since they started everything already, so what can i tell my friend as an advice for her to do so she doesn't get in trouble with immigration or him. Please give me honest answers.

• Answer:

  She should be honest with the USCIS officer. She will not get in trouble if she is honest. She will get in big legal trouble if she is suspected of lying to help her husband get a green card. Even if the marriage was real at the time of the wedding, it is not now. It is over between them, and your girlfriend has nothing to gain and risks problems with USCIS if she lies at the interview. Tell your girlfriend to be honest!
