i'd advise you not to do this. This is not in your best interests. This person undoubtedly is wanting to marry you ONLY to be able to stay in this country. I would BET on this. Regardless of what you say, I would bet on it. This marriage wouldn't last, and i'd bet that you'd be divorced within a year.

I wouldn't do it if I were you. I'm sorry, but that's how I think. I've seen too much of it. God bless and take care. Hugs, Lee

My only correction is : three years, not one. It takes three years to get permanent residency. Baased on marriage. One year is not enough. Plus processing times, so realistically speaking four.
Thanks for this!

Express excitement about visiting them in their home country; see how they react. Just implying "No, I'm not ready for marriage right now" should tell you all you need to know about how much they love you and want to be with you as opposed to how much they want to stay in the country and may be using you.

In my experience, when someone is questioning whether or not someone else loves them, it's most often because the other person doesn't.

I think your idea is an excellent test of his or her true intentions!
