There is the one weird specification for checks to USCIS to spell out "U.S. Department of Homeland Security", not USDHS, not USdhs, not American Dept. of HS, and definitely not U to the D to the HSec, woot woot!.
Good luck.
All of this is so true.
Yes this place is full of sour people who only wish they had done the same in adjusting status rather than one they seem is the "correct way to do things"
The constant arguement is that if the govt prohibited it then they would close the route currently open. That would clarify matters instantly. For some the CR-1 route is the best option and others the K1 route, each to their own I say and as the AOS route is legitimate there is nothing to feel guilty about.
When you go through the AOS process and return for guidance here, expect people to pounce on you and reprimand the method you have chosen to stay together. Easy fix is to put those in ignore and just take advice from those that answer your questions on the various forms that need completing ok.
It's a small minefield but you will get there!
Ps he will need his birth certificate when filing AOS so at some point in the future after you are married he will need to have someone back home mail it to him. Obviously not now as that will raise suspicions in the boyfriend as to what you are up to. Let's hope he says yes to your proposal! Haha
