@Bobby1

Most western countries don’t allow polygamy existing wives can let the authorities know and he might not get entry.

oh ok

@Paheli00

Polygamy is illegal in the U.S. It doesn’t matter if the first wife gives permission. If a man has a wife (outside or inside the U.S.), marries a 2nd woman in the U.S. and applies for immigration through the 2nd wife, he will be charged with immigration fraud if USCIS finds out that he’s already married. Not only will the application be denied, if I remember correctly, being charged with immigration fraud carries a lifetime ban from the U.S.

thanks for the info

@StrangeOne

Marrying for immigration is illegal so reporting them for fraud with evidence of previous marriage certificate is enough to stop them completely.

ahan but one doesnt get nationality as soon as they marry and reach there right it takes time?

I know a case with a very close friend of mine. She met a guy online . Fell in love . He was from Karachi . She and her family went over to Karachi and met the guy’s family. They insisted on a quick wedding . Nikkah was done without rukhsati . She came back and put in the papers for spouse visa . Soon they recieved it and she went back to karachi within weeks and got married . The guy arrived , spent 5 years and applied for nationality .

It was then that he went to Pakistan in all these years . Never took his wife from the UK back to Pakistan to visit family . It was purely by chance that she found out he left another wife and two kids back home and kids are Ma Shaa Allah all grown up ( one of them in early teens )

She was heart broken , mainly because she thought , all these years she was happily living in an illusion , a fraud , a web of lies . Problems began . The guys offered divorce happily. She accepted and then met a solicitor and put a case on him for fraud .

His passport was withheld and he was asked to leave the country . ( within 5 months of getting his passport , he was stripped of it )

So yes fraud happens , sometimes you catch it , sometimes you dont . If a little more time had went by , she wouldnt have been able to take much action against him .

what an idiot he was …I wonder if his first wife knew…what she must have gone through…and ur friend must be heart broken…unable to trust ppl anymore…
