Jamie,
Faliero never "immigrated" to CA. He was allowed to stay 6 mos. at a time on a standard visa. Mario Confente "immigrated" sort of, in that he had a "green card" to stay for certain periods. I have it on good authority that Mario (or actually the other way around, Lisa Vogt) married in order to allow Mario to stay in the US. Otherwise Mario would have had to return to Italy because he was no longer employed by an American company who needed his services.
