[jacob_199999 0]

Me any my gf have been together for 3, almost 4 years. we are both 19, we text and video call every day. We have met only once. Is it possible that if we applied when we turn 20, that it will get approved?

Who would sponsor her?

Together?

[JeanneAdil 7,044]

Do u meet the poverty guidelines for income?

How much time together?

does her family approve?

Can you afford health care insurance for her?

Can you afford the over $2000 for her to adjust her status after arrival in the US?

Are either of you students with promise of a good future job?

would you be able to supply a joint sponsor for the income?

yes.

Possible to get a K1 with one visit, but more will show the consulate there is an ongoing relationship.

 

Good Luck!

Visits.  Actual time spent in the same place is the best evidence of a relationship.

If your relationship is genuine and you are both certain that doing this at such a young age is the right thing, then the timing of your application alone would not be grounds for denial. 

 

You need to be fully understanding of the legally binding contracts you, and likely your family, will be entering into by petitioning her. It is not just simply asking for her to move to the US. Should the marriage not last (and I do say this as you are both so young, I'm sorry) you, and likely your family, are becoming contractually bound to support her financially up until her own citizenship. If you divorce and she won't or can't work, you are responsible. 

 

Please be aware of what this process means for all involved, in both best and worst case scenarios.

Thank you! Yes i belive we are both ready. I feel sure that the marriage will last, but even if it doesn’t i’m prepared for that. At least we had that time together and she has a chance at a better life for her and her family. But i’m not to worried that it won’t last, especially before she has work clearance, because we will be living together anyways. Thank you for your help.

The more the better. Both for immigration and personal reasons.

you say better life for “her and her family”. Is she wanting to bring other family members to US as well? That can be a very different process and timescale

She probably wants to send money back to support her family
