4 December 2007: Who Wants to Marry a U.S. Citizen?

A TV company in Los Angeles is trying to find backers for a new TV programme with title "Who Wants to Marry a U.S. Citizen?".

The proposal is for a TV dating programme that aims to create televised matrimony between American citizens and prospective immigrants. Marrying an American Citizen is one way to get residency in the USA.

In a statement, the company said that it has already signed up contestants for the first six episodes, and while it does not guarantee marriage or legal status, it will pay for a wedding party and honeymoon should a marriage result.
