is getting married to give a guy a USA residency worth $10,000?

is getting married to give a guy a USA residency worth $10,000? I think not. but I was thinking that I will pay less taxes...would that even be effective if he does not live here for a while? either way...either way, I will have to be married by law- cuz I will consider me single, I dont believe in marriage- FOR THREE YEARS!!! I am getting $5,000 ahead then $5,000 once he comes. When you split $10,000 it does not sound like a lot. But I could use the money for that nice trip I want to make to Brazil. OPINIONS?? and he will get a job when he comes here..I dont even know the guy but he comes from an educated family. I am not sleeping with the guy but yeah prison is scary. YOU ARE ALL ON POINT!!! LET ME JUST ADD THAT I WAS NOT REALLY CONSIDERING IT! its too much of a hassle and as you all mentioned Ilegal! but I keep being asked by someone to help a person for her. Weddings - 11 Answers Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions : 1 : Not worth it in my opinion. 2 : dont do it,,, its not worth it in the long run, weather you need the money or not, you getting married to some one that you might not even know fully about. so you get married, after a couple of months you get a divorce. you have to look at the out come. what if you get caught,, do you wanna face being put in jail or being fined lots of money. to get money it take work, to work it takes time. time is all you need. dont let this thing bring you down. 3 : I wouldn't advertise it, its illegal and if you do it and get caught you'll be in jail or paying a far heftier fine than 10k. 4 : money can not buy happiness. you are the only one that has to sleep at night with the decsisions you make in,life. what if he dont find a job or its a job that dont pay anything. I would say dont do it. u dont know him. he maybe horrable in bed he may not be a social person he may not even make you feel like a spaecial woman. hope you make the right choice. 5 : Marry for love not money, what if you meet the man of your dreams, but you are married. Plus he could be a creep. Come up with the money a more creative and less dangerous way. Good Luck. 6 : Forget the money, how does JAIL sound? 7 : First - IT IS ILLEGAL and since you posted it here, immigration authorities can PROVE that you are getting married for this reason. YES, they can track you down through this posting. NEXT - Do you really want to live with a guy you have never met and know nothing about for 3 years. You will need to PROVE to immigration authorities that you are really "MARRIED". They will separate the two of you and interview each of you. THEN, they will ask you all sorts of questions that truly married people would be able to answer. IF you can not answer those questions, then deportation follows. 8 : Actually you could use the money for bail money because immigration has become a lot tougher. They interview you anytime they want without warning and they interview you seperately but ask the same questions. They can drop in any time they wish, and good luck explaining why he doesn't live there. They are also not stupid and can tell if there is love and/or any kind of chemistry or not. Personally I don't think 10 grand is worth my freedom. Besides, what happens if you meet "Mr. Right" within those three years and have to explain how you can't marry him because you sold yourself for 10 grand? 9 : I thought it was for 5 years you have to be married. Still, that sounds crazy and not worth it. Maybe he will find true love with someone here and he will marry her instead. 10 : Well, I think that's normal... lots of people do this in the US. Furthermore, you need the money, don't you? You won't have to sleep with the guy... What's the deal? To be honest, I feel sorry for the guy who needs to "arrange" a marriage in order to live in the US. And believe me, this guy is totally dumb because nowadays the US isn't so much different from Brazil. If he doesn't get a good life in Brazil, he won't get a better one in America. Brazil is becoming richer and richer.... and Brazilians don't need to move to the US anymore in order to get a better life. Actually, the opposite is already happening. So, if you wanna do this, go ahead, it's good for you! 11 : well, let's put it this way. my very friendly, uncontested, divorce ended up costing me about 8000 dollars.

amerigo vespucci summary?

amerigo vespucci summary? Do you think this is a good summary of the book "Amerigo Vespucci" by Felipe Fernandez Armesto. sorry its so long its from the review website but ive been trying to read the book for a month for research and its soooo boring:0 4/25/2007, is the 500th anniversary of an extraordinary event: the naming of America. The story of how it happened is a murky tale of intrepid seafarers and failed business ventures, naive scientists and greedy publishers, and dishonesty. Above all, it is the tale of Amerigo Vespucci, a small-time Florentine trader with a talent for self-promotion who reinvented himself as explorer and stargazer, and whose reputation has since become entangled in webs of myth. Felipe Fernández-Armesto's eminently readable book carefully disentangles these webs to show the part Vespucci actually played in the story. Vespucci's background was modest, though the family had connections with the powerful Medici clan that effectively ruled 15th-century Florence. The son of a notary who expected great things from his offspring, Vespucci was educated by humanists, studying Latin (not very successfully) and geography, then fashionable in Florentine academic circles, where classical treatises like Ptolemy's Geographia sparked a debate on the possibility of sailing across the Atlantic to reach the spice islands of the Indies. Vespucci was a disappointment to his father; despite his education, he chose trade, buying and selling gems for clients and operating more dubious sidelines in blackmail and pimping. His businesses didn’t prosper, and by March 1492, Vespucci was in Seville, working for a fellow Florentine, Gianotto Berardi, one of the backers of Columbus's historic journey across the Atlantic. When Columbus returned in triumph in 1493, they secured the lucrative contract to supply the explorer's second fleet, but the expected profits failed to appear, even after the Spanish banned slave traffic in their new colonies. Berardi died in December 1495, entrusting his daughter to Columbus, and his debts to Vespucci. Still convinced that Columbus had reached the edge of the Indian Ocean, and that a fortune trading in gems and spices was his for the making, Vespucci joined an expedition in 1499 to explore pearl beds discovered by Columbus off the Venezuelan coast. This first trip was not a success. Nor was a second. So Vespucci devised another way of making money, transforming himself from luckless trader into a supposed expert on transatlantic navigation and the lands across the sea. The first account of Vespucci's voyages, Mundus Novus (New World), was published in Florence, 1504. Describing the horrorific voyage, the ships saved only by his skill at celestial navigation and the exotic people he had seen, richly laced with salacious detail, this blockbuster was an instant success, reprinted 23 times in two years. In 1505, another book appeared, the Soderini Letter, purporting to be by Vespucci and claiming him as the true discoverer of the New World. However, as Fernández-Armesto shows, it was a cut-and-paste fake, designed to cash in on the enormous popularity of Vespucci's Mundus Novus. The story next moves to the remote French town of St-Dié, where a group of enthusiastic geographers, working under the patronage of the Duke of Lorraine, were preparing a new edition of Ptolemy's Geographia. In early 1507, they received the text of the Soderini Letter, now addressed by Vespucci to the duke, and decided to incorporate it into their work, the typesetting of which was completed on April 25, 1507. On their huge world map, emblazoned over what is now Brazil, was the continent's new name, America, honoring the man they assumed was the author of the Soderini Letter. The hapless geographers soon realized their mistake, but it was too late: Their work also became a bestseller, and the name stuck.

parents not letting me go w/ boyfriend on vacation?

parents not letting me go w/ boyfriend on vacation? Sorry, sorry, sorry, I posted this before!! I just forgot to add ....I have all the money myself, have figured out own form of transportation, literally everyting is taken care of. I dont need anything from them except their permission!! Also, of course, his parents WILL be there to "keep an eye on us" and ive already guaranteed my parents that my boyfriend and I wont go anywhere without his parents with us. (His parents are amazing, and super nice, and they believe we should get some time to experience life.) And theres even a way i can get a job there, from my bf's dad! So id even be making money on the trip (unlike what im doin here.) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Me and my boyfriend will both me 19 next month, we're both in university (2nd year), are living together in my parents house, and have been dating for 2.5 years. His parents want him to come back to his home country (brazil) for his 19th birthday. we live in Eastern Canada. I am a B+ and A student in university, and responsible. My parents let me go with him to Brazil when we were only dating 5 months when we were 16, but since then they simply dont trust me. (My mom is bipolar and they are having marital problems, and i am only hurting their relationship by being here.) I would like to go, because I'd like to spend his birthday with him, and i am very unlucky this summer getting a job (ive had one since I was 16 before this! and i had one in university, but the job ended when April (end of term) came. Jobs are scarce because of the recession.) My parents have always been rather harsh with me. Strict, and such. Is there a way i can convince them to let me go? Or would it be acceptable to just tell them I'm going without their permission? (So far, I have not been able to get them to approve.) Singles & Dating - 7 Answers Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions : 1 : Lol. Darling, you're 18. Almost 19. You don't need your parent's permission for ANYTHING. You're a legal adult. 2 : Unbelievable, you state that you live together with your parents and then you state that your parents will not let you go on vacation with him? I find this question very odd. You're old enough to just tell your parents what you are going to do and say bye, bye on your way out. 3 : If your 19 and still asking your parents for permission for things like this, you need to get out of the nest and get your own place. Your both adults now! 4 : You live under your parents roof and they pay for college. You go by their rules until you move out. 5 : i know, such a drag when parents don't trust u. i think that ur 19, u should be able to make ur own decisions. As long as u can afford it and u are responsible, u should be able to go. Hope i helped. 6 : First of all you must have done something in that trip to brazil when you were 16 that's probably the reason your parents are letting you go. I say talk to them tell them whats the difference of being 16 and going to brazil and being 19 and going to brazil tell them your more mature(job, grades etc...), and if they still say NO. Its up to you you're 18 almost 19, you can go without your parents permission. But if you value your families trust towards you and the relationship you have with them (as in close) than i wouldn't go or I would beg until permission was granted. 7 : It's not your parents' decision to make. You're 18 and an adult, so take that vacation with your boyfriend and have a great time. Toronto job for very attractive girl? Need to make... How much money will George Soros make on off shore...
