Daughters normally marry, fact of life.

Daughters and sons. Yes, that is true. But my daughter is only 18, already in college and wants to be a doctor/pathologist.

Considering the student visa option for her, so she can continue her education. Marriage and working, for my daughter is out of the question.

If you don't want to be separated from your daughter, can your new boyfriend move to your country? The beauty of international marriages is that there is usually more than one option on where to live.

Not an option for us. I wish that's possible. I lived and worked as an expat for years. It certainly offers a beautiful, exciting lifestyle. He has kids that he's co parenting. So crossed that out from the very start.

Really don't know why some people here makes unnecessary comments that are neither helpful nor warranted. Since this forum is all about people trying to get in, live or stay in the US one way or another. What makes your situation legit than the rest?! Geeezzzz!! The nerve of some people to judge. I don't know you and you don't know me.

Obviously a green card or an acquired US citizenship doesn't include brains and manners.

Perhaps her daughter can find someone to marry?

Maybe you'd allow your own daughter to do that but I'll never consider that for my daughter, not even for a second.

I did wonder the same...

There was a very similar thread recently where the OP came to visit her parents and married the neighbour two months after first setting eyes on him and then adjusted. I did wonder if this romance was the result of realising how long the wait is for the daughter of a USC or LPR is.

Similar but my situation is definitely not a result of what you're trying to imply. I would have done all this before my daughter turned 18, if that was my goal in the first place. Duhhh! Smh.

Yes I just wanted to clarify that for the OP's benefit (and anyone else in a similar situation reading this) that only as the spouse of a USC will she be able to stay and adjust, not as a girlfriend.

I am aware of that. Undecided because I have a responsibility to my daughter and for my soon to be husband. I want to be able to fulfill my obligations to both. And do all that, if even possible, with us all in one continent. =)

You came to the US and found someone to marry in 3 months? How convenient.

What is the status of your parents in the US?

- Convenient?! So you're insinuating what.

My parents are US citizens if that will satisfy your I presume biased opinion.

Not yet. I want all my options sorted out before I make a final decision.

Hi. 3 months ago.

I came to the US with my daughter (18 years old) to visit my mom and dad. While on vacation, I met someone, fell in love. He asked me to marry him and I said yes. But until now I'm hesitant, I am aware that I can adjust my status here, but what about my daughter. I'm a single mother and her legal guardians, my parents are all here in the US? Can she also adjust her status and process her papers here with me? What are our options? I don't want to be seperated from my fiancé and at the same time I can't allow my daughter to go back home alone? Can she study here? She's my only child. =)
