We, the American people, petition the Honorable President Obama and his administration to pass into law the requirement of 40 hours of counseling for all U.S. Citizens and foreigners marrying when a Green Card is obtained.
The counseling can be done by a secular counselor or religious person. At the end of the 40 hours of counseling, the counselor will sign off on a piece of paper as to whether the marriage is valid or not. They will looks for signs of exploitation and traffiking.
We believe this would provide a good national security measure and help combat human traffiking. Currently, the United States relies on Immigration Officers to assess the validity of marriages. A better layer of security is having an outside trained counselor or religious person make the assessment.
