    I'm glad somebody finally dared to broach this subject. Marrying someone you don't know that well is very risky. I have two business partners who are both divorced, and the COST of being divorced is unbelievable! So best to get it right first time. I'm also assuming you are ethnically Chinese and speak the same language as her - if not, a few more warning bells would be ringing.

    I'd be quite surprised if ImmD granted a Dependant Visa to someone who you just married and who you had never previously met!

    Sounds to me like the mainland woman is a gold-digger.

    Because she's from the Mainland and must be marrying out of money and not love?

    Because if he had met her (a significant number of times) the location where he first met her would be irrelevant.

    You don't see people coming on here and starting a post about getting married by telling us they met on the #23 bus on Caine Road (or wherever).

    Nobody has made that assumption though.

    Normal forum trolls? Who are you referring to?

    There is no assumption being made, just want clarification.

    Poor OP!

    OP - try to dig through this to get some useful advice. Ignore most (if not all) the judgmental comments.

    I know a few people who internet dated their other halves and they are incredibly happy. Good luck!

    That's true. But there are also a fair number of men who have been married for their money - particularly in Asia. So, we only ask to ensure the OP does not get hurt.
