I live in California and this is my story. I met a woman a year ago we started dating 5 months ago seriously. She is from Serbia and things were great until about a month ago. I have fallen in love with this girl but we aren't living together and haven't been physical yet and she says she isn't ready to be physical because she was almost raped at a young age. Well 4 weeks ago she said her visa expires at the end of June and said the only way to stay with me here in the USA was to get married. We applied for our liscenae and one day she was come over to my host family's house. I went over and she was here is our marriage liscense. I have my host family here one is a minister and one is a lawyer as a witness. Sign this paper and we will have our reception later. Being a fool I signed the paper and they were like congratulations you're married now.
Its been 3 weeks now and she doesn't even act like she wants to be married, she is nice and sweet but haven't done anything physical yet , because she says she is not ready.
This is where the annulment comes in, she says once we get the immigration paperwork going, then she won't be as stressed and we can start to focus on our marriage. I feel now I was tricked into this marriage and that she is only with for her green card. I went into this marriage for love, but I don't think she is. I was wondering if this would be grounds for annulment in California? Also I know there are other ways to extend her visa, what would be the best way to end the marriage without hurting her chances in case she does have legitment feelings?
I just get the bad feeling that this is going to turn to fraud and I don't want to be in trouble for immigration fraud either. That's why I don't want to file the paperwork either because I feel that I am getting bribed, file the paperwork and then we can "focus on our marriage"
Thoughts? I don't have much money or assets so I would like to try and figure out the easiest and cheapest way to end this nightmare.
I appreciate any and all feedback
