The question to ask...if she did it and got away with it....how many others have done the same thing? A thousand young ladies married up to brothers, uncles, or even their fathers?

Entering into a short term monetary contract to marry someone/anyone who has already gotten the U.S. citizenship in order to get U.S. citizenship oneself is, I was told by a West African immigrant, is not only commonplace, but perhaps the norm among Africans entering the U.S. under claims of refugee /asylum seekers. “No problem” to do this, it is said.
Getting away with a paper marriage is the easiest way to become an American citizen and have the security and the perks in the shortest amount of time. Starting to go by an entirely different name seems to be part of the ruse that the government doesn’t bother to investigate or is unable to. A whole new person with new SS number winds up on the scene. My sense of the practice and variations on it is that it is common and that the number doing it is far, far, far in excess of just the thousands you suggest.
Oh well then, never mind, everyone does it.
