  1. You might consider asking your husband to make an account and join the conversation. As an attorney myself (also not an immigration attorney), knowing when to ask for a consult is a big part of maturing as an attorney, and this is a situation where you may not necessarily need a lawyer to represent you the whole way through, but consulting with somebody who is experienced specifically with waivers for issue spotting might still be beneficial. I handled my wife’s paperwork myself (simple, no waiver, no issues), but had we run into any issues, I already had a few names on hand I knew I could get a consult from in an emergency.
  2. I’ve only been stamped once in all my travels since they stopped routinely stamping, and it was because I got pulled for secondary. I don’t know whether that was some sort of marking for a “hey we random searched this guy already once this year” or just a matter of course.
  3. It would be helpful if you can answer a few questions. Where did you depart from? Hong Kong? Where are you currently? Where is your USC spouse? Where do you intend to enter the US? Where will you live? Folks may be able to help you reroute. EDIT: Nevermind, sounds like you have a solution you posted as I was typing.
  4. OP, people aren’t trying to be difficult or judge your relationship. The questions people are asking have important answers. The age difference matters, not just how wide a gap, but at what ages you two personally are. For example, a 20-year age gap may mean totally different things in different offices. In a country where male younger than female relationships are locally uncommon, COs are much more harsh about age gaps, particularly if the female is older than child rearing age and the male has no children. Similarly, the amounts of money sent, and in what manner (a large lump at the start of a relationship, full maintenance, or occasional gifts/expenses) matter enormously. “Face time” also matters enormously. If you aren’t willing to answer those questions with specificity it becomes extremely hard to give you informed answers about your specific situation, all we can give are generalist answers.
  5. It would be beneficial if you stated your age and her age, not merely a vague range. Yes, this may actually matter. Also, how much money are we talking about? Ongoing or in large lumps?
