marriage question

I'm in high school but thinking of getting married to my boyfriend after we graduate. We will both be 18. I was wondering if we have to live together in order for me to get legalized. He got a scholarship to an out of state college and i'll be going to college in state, so is that a problem?

Thanks in advance

is somebody willing to help me?

If I'm not mistaken, it's possible for you to do that. The main thing that you have to prove to the USCIS is that it's a bona fide marriage. During the interview process, you need to show conversation records on your phone bill, train tickets to meet each other, etc.

In my opinion, you're still pretty young to get married. You can afford to wait as you still have 4 years of college ahead of you. Only get married when both of you are truly ready and only because you really love each other.

You definitely do need to live together.

I wish you joy, happiness and love.

live together. that's part of a marriage! You'll definitely learn a lot about the person you love... for better and for worst. Good luck and may it last a long AND great while.

I recommend visiting www.immigrate2us.net if it has not already been suggested. Good luck.

Oh jeez, do you know the meaning of marriage? of course you HAVE to live together, you will be a married couple for God's sake.

I'm not trying to sound rough, but what you are doing is very serious and you have to be very cautious. Follow every step and try to get a lawyer if you can so he can guide you two through this process.

If he goes out of state then you have to go with him or figure something out. It will definitely be worth it and could possibly be the best decision you make in your life.

In order to get this started you will need a lot of money...I just barely finished my process and I started in Febrauary 2009. If you entered legally (passport etc.) then you can file for all that here and just pay a fine. However if you entered illegaly, then be prepared for paperwork and a trip to Mexico. The latter applied to me. You have to go to an appointment in Juarez and then file a waiver (I-601) and your husband will have to prove extreme hardship. Even then there is no guarantee you will get approved. I did however, but like I said there is no guarantee. Google Juarez forum, and it should be the first link you see. You will find tons and tons of help there. I wish you the best of luck and hope you marry for the right reasons, because this process will test it to the max.

Yes, living with your spouse is a part of marriage, but it's not always possible!!

You can marry your boyfriend, and he can petition you. You will be questioned about the living arrangements, but it won't necessarily cause you to be denied. It will make it more difficult for you to prove that your relationship is real, but if you have valid proof, then it will be okay.

Also, if you have to file the 601 waiver abroad, it will make it tougher to prove that he will suffer extreme hardship if you cannot come back to the US if you aren't living together.

Go to immigrate2us.net for more information, it is a much better forum than the Juarez forum someone recommended, especially if you're not from Mexico and you don't have to go through Juarez. Make sure you consult with at least one lawyer.
