Marriage Fraud is a delicate yet serious issue here in Canada. Unscrupulous immigrants short-cutting their way through the Canadian immigration system and obtaining permanent resident status by being brought over by their spouse, only to leave them shortly after. This indeed raises problems with Canada as a nation, but what about the victims? In addition to losing what they though was love, they must pay the government for all welfare and other benefits paid to the deserting spouse for the next 3 to 10 years!
With this video, we hope to explore Marriage Fraud through the eyes of the victim. Discover and raise awareness on what is wrong with the immigration system, and what is being done, or can be done to prevent it.
I was given this site by a co-worker that saw me fall apart after my Moroccain husband left me a dear john letter on my kitchen table .I was devasted .When i first watch that video and the woman said he slowly changes after arriving to Canada and that her taughts were like mine " maybe he needs time to adjust to his new life." I am 51 yrs olds he was 52 so itaught i was in this marriage for ever .I had met his family stayed in Morocco for mts would come back and then return did this from 2004-2006 a total cost of 10,000.00$ then another 1040.00 for the permanent immigration card for him when he arrived here in Canada in March 04,2007 he left me March 31,2008. We met on line on ICQ on August 21,2003 .We were married May 24,2006 in Morocco .Now the gouverment of Canada will not help me to deport him he still lives in the same city has i do but yet there isn't anything i can do to send him back where he belongs.He is free to go and do what he wishes and i am stuck with being resposable for him for another 2 yrs.He has met another woman on line again i hear from another province in Canada.It still hurts to talk about it i do know if i am mad at him for doing this to me or at myself for letting this happen .I feel so much like an old fool.I just want the pain and him gone out of my life for good.i still carry my married name i cannot change that until i am legaly divorce wish there is no way i will pay for it he wants it let him get it on his own hooks.Because even if i do divorce him i am still responsable for him for another 2 yrs.I have alot more to say but i will save it for another time .
Do a little research on divorce rates. Lots of people get married and then shortly after one of the people just leaves! Happens all the time!
and if your going to get a wife or husband online then your just one of those people who are ASKING FOR IT.
No one could pay me enough to marry and have sex with some woman i never even liked. and certainly staying with someone for a year or so would have to have a Higher gain than to live on welfare for a year. WTH?
A sad person from a bad Marriage will do anything to Justify that he or she was the RIGHT one. Having married a person puts you in the place of being the judge of that persons character, Knowing who you are with and being 100% sure that the person is genuine. You married that person, You brought that person into the country, you were having marital relatons with that person, you bought what you bought and and did what you did with no one forcing you. SEE? Your pissed at yourself!
All you are doing by coming on the videos and crying is telling the world that you are gullible and you didn't see it coming and your still crying about it looking for sympathy.
If you can't see that then your still having the same problem! Get help for goodness sakes.
I know all about marriage fraud. My name is Riadh Hamdi. I am a Tunisian immigrant. I have been married at least 2 times in order to obtain a green card in the United States. My first marriage began in June 22, 2001 and ended in April 04, 2004. I then made sure that I met and married another woman on October 12, 2004, who knew nothing about my previous wife. I made sure to conceal the fact that I was married before, and the reasons for my divorce from my previous wife. To be perfectly honest, I don't care to be married, I just want a green card. When my second wife, was onto my scam, I quickly began to plan ways to meet someone else. Only this time, I had to make sure that they would stay, or I would never be able to get my green card. The only way to do this, was to make sure that wife number 3 was pregnant even before I married her. My second wife is in the process of divorcing me. I know this looks really bad before the INS, so I pretended to be abused my second wife, so I would be given asylum under the Violence Against Women Act. Just in case this doesn't work, the woman I got pregnant will have to petition me because I am the father of her child.
So Riadh Hamdi (if that is your real name). You are telling the world this because ..... doesn't matter. Like all immigrants to the country who are illegal, immoral, corrupt, etc. You should be jailed and/or deported (preferably both). We ned to stiffen the laws against anchor babies......
Check out the blog about this scum bag:
www.riadhhamdiisaretard.blogspot.com. He works at Bally Total Fitness in Downey, CA. Everyone should call Bally's at (562)803-3432 to get this asshole fired.
people should stop generalizing, if someone had a bad experience with one person whom they've sponsored it doesn't mean that all immigrants are the same and afterall all of us are immigrants unless if you are a native and if someone has been taken advantage of because of making a wrong decision in their life, well it is not the end of the world maybe it's time to move on and it is a good lesson learnt so that next time they won't make the same mistake, as we all know we learn through mistakes and once bitten........and no body is perfect. Try again and don't give up no matter how frustrating it is and don't think that everyone is the same, people are different.
I think Riadhi Hamdi should stop using women and if he has a mother, sisters or daughters, they will be used too, what goes around comes around and, I hope he will have the decency to sincerely apologize to the people he has hurt or taken advantage of.
I'm also a victim of a "Green Card" marriage. At the time I was a 38 year old ( waited 5 years to marry again) divorce mother of 4 children. I owned my own home & business. To make a long story short, I met him in NY in August 2007. My brothers checked him out some what (not thoroughly). He met my family and seemed as if his deen was in order & all was a go for our nikah in October. My mother asked him was he marrying me for a greencard. He made it clear he had all is papers to stay in the USA in order. He told me that financially he was set back because of a greedy wife from his 1st divorce ( not knowing he wasn't divorced yet & just left his wife a month before he met me.) All his family was in Morocco & his sister in France. So we went through the nikah with all expenses paid by my family since he was waiting for his business in Morocco to pick up any day now. After the nikah it began to go down hill. We spent 1 day in a hotel & the 2nd day of our so called honeymoon in my home with my children ( from my 1st marriage children age 17, 14, 11, & 5) After the honeymoon he decided he would return back to NY & continue to work to raise enough money for our dwelling since he was the man as he stated. He said he could not imagine living in my home which soon changed. 2 months passed & still he was in NY and I in PA. He decided it's best my mother( my mother recently received heart surgery, so she was ill) & I take a trip to his country all expenses paid by him. I found out I was pregnant , and began to go through morning sickness . As planned we continue on preparing for the trip to Morocco. The day of the trip I was sick real bad with severe cramps, & made it to the airport late. He didn't take off from work , so I was left carrying my moms bag, my bags, & an a large over sized suitcase he gave me for his family to the luggage gate. He cursed me and told me how I wasted his hard earn money ( which I found it came from the restaurant where he worked that sold alcohol) & nothing was wrong with me but I was making excuses. The following day we caught the flight, again with him not there and my pain was at a all time high. When my mother & I reached in Morocco we were now both ill. His mother & father ( May Allah bless them ) was beautiful & kind people ( neither spoke English, his brother translated). They took care of my mother & I right away. The following day they took me to their private physician & found out I had a miscarriage & a severe uterus infection. The doctor said if I had waited any longer I would have lost my uterus or my life. His mother called him & asked why was I sent to Morocco in such a way, he said I demanded to come. We stayed for a couple days more & returned because of health issues. On returning I know was carrying 2 more extra large suitcases which his family sent for him. He didn't show up at the airport, now I'm struggling again with sickness. I met him at his apartment . He was cold & callus , only anxious to see what he received from Morocco. In agony I called my sister crying tell her that my pain was being ignored, she called the ambulance & I stayed in the hospital in NY for well over a week. Through this whole ordeal no sympathy or compassion. He told me he had bad news he was going to be deported, his papers fell through, and he wanted me to file for him. I told him we did not marry for papers.Now he decided it was time to live with me so he can take care of me. More like I took care of him. I was paying all bills, and laboring hard while he slept half the day away, and the other half eating. The mental abuse did not stop because he wanted his papers. I became pregnant again . Consistent abuse, and here we go again another miscarriage. He screamed at my mother ( since her sickness I had her living with me) made her cry, cursed my kids, and myself majority of the time. Enough was enough, I put him out, and 2 week later let him back in ( giving 100 % to make this marriage work). I became pregnant with twins 1 in my uterus & 1 in my tubes. Nothing made this relationship work not even counseling because all he wanted was papers. He told me he hope the babies die because I didn't agree to give him papers. They did, Allah knows best. After all of this he threatened me if he didn't received his papers he would leave me to marry another for a green card. He left ran up my phone calling home to Morocco, & left me mentally & physically exhausted. ( No fight left). He refuse t even to give me the talaaq. As he said he wants me to live Hell here & in the hereafter. Allah is merciful at least he is out of my home.
