delphiandomine: Poland is far more "open" for such scams than the UK is.
Yes, this must be the first ever instance of a "sham marriage" in the UK.
delphiandomine: Sorry, but if you're going to try and use a newspaper as a source, at least try and use one more credible than the Daily Mail.
Its become such a problem, that the Latvian government and Latvian women refuge agencies have had to pressurise both the Irish and british governments, respectively, to stamp down on such activity.
Thats just one country.
It is very, very widespread. Mostly involving Pak/Nig/Bang/Indian males and accession states females. Using Latvia(from a documentary I watched on TV3) as an example, what basically happens is some working class wee girl is promised a better life in London/Manchester/Dublin/Cork wherever. Shes unemployed in Riga so jumps at the chance. Before she leaves shes told her future employer is having some visa difficulties and that if she marries him, she will be paid five large, an even better position in his company and he will be very grateful. She agrees.
Then she arrives into UK/Ireland. Her passport is confiscated, treated like shiiiit, shacked up in her future "employers" gaff until the wedding day. If they do their homework and play it cool, they get away it. If they remain "married", after three years, he receives permanent residence under EU legislation. She gets the wad of moolah. If shes lucky.
If they are clowns, like from the story above, they get locked up.
But you have to be very, very foolish not to get away with it.
It is very widespread and due to european judeo christians nations belief in the sanctity of marriage, it is very easy to get away with.
Due to the influx of Irish into Australia circa 2009-2010(20,000) I predict we shall see a rather upturn in the number of Australian-Irish "marriages" over the foreseeable future.
I know of an obese Irish dude from the bog(who is definitely in the closet) who married an absolutely beautiful American girl, so he could get the F1(I think its called?) to remain in the US. He was on a years J1(?) visa. Got away, no bother. He will eventually get citizenship, if they keep their nose clean and he, keeps her sweet. Girl is so sweet she done it as a favour. He treats her like crap.
Chap was lucky I didnt put him into hospital one night, chicks only 20 and he giving her stick. Ive never touted in me natural, but was tempted to, very tempted to.
Gustav: Britain may well be the mug of the world when it comes to immigration.
I think America scoops up that award. Not only did the accept EM_Wave into their nation, they granted him citizenship!

Tell me what you consider reliable and I will hook you up with a source for there.
EM_Wave: I think she needs to lay off the p±czki.
Post up a picture of yourself, Adonis. I will, if you will.
