Hi. I am new to this forum, but have a possible problem. I would appreciate any help as this is all new to me.
I was visited by a friend this past weekend. She is recently divorced and is single, with no children. She does not live near any family. She has a good job, makes decent money, and has friends. I tried to keep an open mind throughout this weekend, but became very suspicious as I put everything she told me together.
Erica, my friend, met a man at an open house (one of her friends is a realtor and Erica tagged along). A man that came to view the house became interested in Erica and asked the friend for Erica's number. He called, and they began dating.
The story of this man is this: His family escaped from Sudan because his grandfather was starting a democracy. (I cannot find the grandfather's name on the Internet).
He is here on government protection. Erica called it something, but I am not sure what that is called.
This man still lives with his exwife and children because he cannot afford to pay for his house and her house. He cannot spend the night with Erica because it is against his religion--he is Muslim. He also has convinced Erica to convert to his religion.
He says he is an engineer but does not have paperwork to prove that he is an engineer because his house was set on fire. He works at a warehouse and goes to school to get another engineering degree.
He and his wife are divorced regiously, but not legally. He is trying to save enough money to get her a green card. He has lawyer fees, and other fees associated with this. For her to get her green card, they need to stay married. As soon as they are legally divorced, he is going to marry Erica.
Also, his family in Egypt is incredibly wealthy. The family has a home and they are going to vacation there in the future.
I just find all of this story incredibly odd. Why can't he get transcripts from his college, even if they are in a different country? Why is his family so famous but I can't find them on the Internet? If his family has a large home elsewhere, why can't he afford to get a divorce?
I am especially frightened about the change of religion. My friend was always a devout Christian. I am fine with her becoming a Muslim, but it just does not seem like her. I am right in this situation? What should I do? Whenever I asked her questions, she seemed to have an immediate response. Any help that anyone could provide would be very kind.
