Does the USA actually investigate marriages for immigration reasons?
I've been seeing this girl for a while now, and she's coming up on the end of her schooling. We were thinking of getting hitched since she's here on a student visa, and it would simplify things greatly if she didn't have to worry about getting booted out of the country..
In all honesty, neither of us really have any interest in marriage, so it really would be just for the immigration rights. On top of that, it doesn't look like a very "normal" marriage style relationship. We don't live together, and won't live together likely until well after. We live like 6 hours away from each other, so we mostly spend weekends together.
So, are we just inviting trouble on ourselves, or is investigation of things like this something that only really happens in the movies?

She'll get deported and you'll end in jail

I so hope you actually did report something, and I also so hope you post what you submitted.
>some random poster on an image board said they might get married in the future to someone with a visa. Halp!

go to the courthouse and get a marriage license, then apply for her green card. you'll need letters from family and friends, and tons of other bona fides. an interview will take place. you better have a good reason you don't live together. that's for the conditional green card (1st round), which expires after two years. the permanent status is even more in depth. with no joint assets or loans, you won't stand a chance. and if you don't live together at this point forget about it. the application fees are also very expensive. thousands.

Just getting married at a courthouse probably won't cut it. Here's a list of things that you'd need to use to show that your marriage is bona fide, and part of it includes wedding invitations. Even if you had a majority of the other things, a lack of wedding invitations would probably look suspicious, I don't know anyone who doesn't keep a copy of their wedding invitation in this day and age

Don't do it, you will end up in an orange jump suit. All first world countries protect their immigration from sham marriages. If you really want to go ahead you need to move in and really be married for a few years.
