How you will know a guy your dating online is serious with you?
"He will tell you he wants you and loves you ..........that simple!!!!!"
I think that its not that obvious, you can never know if someone is serious with you. But you can tell on your own, it doesn't matter what this person says to you. There are times you will wonder, just believe him and trust him and let him tell you. Or you can ask him what his intentions are. there is no wrong or stupid question to ask about this. But i find if a guy is always happy to see you, always talks to you and has nothing else to do but soak up his time with you than he is serious about you that you are the girl he has feelings for

Why is south Brazil richer than north Brazil?
(Well, it's not easy to give a sure answer to this question. It's like wondering why, on a capitalist society, there are some poor people while others are so rich.
Anyway...)
It's possible that the climate and history factors have some influence on this.
In the Northern Region (Região Norte), there is the Amazon Rainforest, which, in the (oftentimes failed) attempt of being preserved, blocks the expansion of some economical activities over these wide lands.
Also, in the North-eastern Region (Região Nordeste), there is the Caatinga, a hot and dry region that is almost, although not completely, like a desert. This has historically made the progress of the region more difficult (nowadays, however, it has been growing even on agriculture production).
Meanwhile, to the south there is the South-eastern Region (Região Sudeste), which is the richest region of the five, partly because since the colonization period it has received more investiments. For instance, when the Portuguese royalty moved to Brazil, they went to Rio de Janeiro, and this region received all the investiments. In fact, Rio was the capital of Brazil up to 1960.
The Southern Region (Região Sul), besides having historically received a lot of European immigrants (probably because of its colder climate), also has a high level of soil fertility, so that it was easier to focus on agriculture, as in livestock production.
(These may be some reasons for the economical difference between the northern and the southern parts of Brazil.)
What happens if an immigrant marry a U.S citizen and the citizen abandon the immigrant?
Since marriage to a US citizen confers US citizenship upon the spouse, it is not clear how your spouse is an illegal immigrant unless you are also an illegal immigrant (not that you actually said that either of you are living in the US, but that seems to be the most likely interpretation). I also don't know why you are abandoning your spouse instead of getting a divorce. Nothing will necessarily happen; it depends upon what action the abandoned spouse may choose to take. If you are sued, then there could be various consequences depending upon the outcome of the suit.

Individuals who obtain a Green Card through marriage to a U.S. Citizen are granted "Conditional" Green Card status, which is only valid for two years. Individuals who have been granted Conditional Green Card Status are required to apply to remove the Conditions on their Green Card within 90 days of the date that their Conditional Permanent Resident status expires.After conditions are removed the applicant is issued a green card valid for 10 years.If married to U.S. Citizen you may apply for US citizenship after 3 years with valid green card.
US citizen marries a non-citizen do they become a US citizen?
No, marriage to US citizen does not automatically allow a non-citizen to become a permanent resident or citizen of the US.
Marriage does entitle the non-citizen to apply for US permanent residency, provided they can show they will be living in the US. For example, if a US citizen married a German citizen, and they continue to live in Germany, the german citizen cannot apply for a US permanent resident visa. If, at some time later, the couple decide to move back to the US, the German citizen can at that time apply for a permanent residency visa. Such marriage-based permanent resident visas are almost always granted once the couple shows proper residency intent (and, shows that the marriage is not a sham or fraud one).
Any non-citizen holding a US permanent residency visa can apply for US citizenship via the nationalization process. The key requirements of the citizenship process are:
- Be a permanent resident for at least 5 years (or 3 if married to a US citizen)
- Reside continuously (except for short-duration excursions) in the US for that period of time
- Have a clean criminal record, or obtain a specific waiver from an immigration judge
- Attend proper citizenship classes

How do you show someone that you love them?
You can show a girl you love her in many ways:
An arm around her or holding her hand A warm smile when you see her Excited to see her Bringing her flowers or a small gift every so often Asking her about what she wants out of life Backing her through difficult times Being true to her and not cheating on her Gaining her complete trust Letting her know you are there 100% for her and meaning it Giving her compliments Proud to introduce her to your family and friends
These are just a few things, but usually if you love someone nature takes it course. Also, what you give her, you should expect back from her. Answer
listen to her without interruption or judgment in her moment of stress (you know what I mean) But make sure that you are showing her that you are really listening, and if you phone rings DON'T pick it up just give her 5 minutes of undivided attention. Trust me little things matter a lot, do thing from you heart, like a single rose with a little note saying: I just want you to know love You. Or maybe something spontaneous that you planned out for no apparent reason, like a dinner reservation (call her up a few hours before, and tell her to be ready at eg. 8:00, because you will be there to pick her up, she will say where are we going, just say its a surprise you'll see, just dress nice and don't eat) that you planned and had the waiter set up a few extras like a special table, or have him bring out some wine at a certain time, just her knowing that you did this just for her will make her feel very special. There is a book call 101 romantic nights its for couples it's a invitation that's once a month you do something special for that person , and the invitation will instruct you on what to do. Neither of you can see what is in the invitation until you open it. Every month you pick a new invitation. check it out. It gives excitement to the relationship and plus it really gets you mine set on that special person.
The couple should contact an immigration lawyer. If an illegal alien is in this country for more than one year, then they are subject to a 10 year bar from ever intering USA agin. The couple should hire a lawyer to help with the process of filing the required forms, and the illegal will have to then return home to his/her country and wiat for an interview at the American Consulate. This is a process, and the bar can be waived if spouse files for a petition. The illegal will have to remain in home country for 30-45 days and wait for the approval of the petition. If approved the illegal will then receive his/her green card. If denied they will be subject to the ten year bar. Nothing is guaranteed in this process, and any convictions of a felony or misdemeanor will be a disadvantage to this person.
