My fiance and I met online when we were both barely seventeen and my parents, like yours, were a little skeptical about us meeting in person. It took one and a half years of dating and us both being eighteen for it to work out for him to visit me in the US. Now my whole family loves him. We've spent almost six months together in person and were approved for a K-1 this month even though we're only twenty.  Our age was not questioned at all by anyone throughout the visa process and the interview was extremely easy for my fiance. We finished the whole process in exactly four months.

 

The affidavit of support (form I-134) is an important part of the application process and I had to have a co sponsor in order to be approved. Does your fiance make enough to bring you over if you choose to apply? If not, would there be someone who'd be willing to be a co sponsor? Would he be able to come over and visit you in order to prove himself to your parents? My parents felt completely different about the whole relationship after he came over. It showed that he was serious about me.  

 

 

This brings joy to me knowing that someone else went through the same things I am currently going through and knowing that they succeeded through it and managed to get together with their very special someone makes me so happy! There is hope :') 

Yes, he mentioned that if he doesn't make enough money by the time we actually want to apply for the VISA (which is some time this summer/august most likely) he said his mom could be a sponsor to me.  And only 4 months for the process to finish is amazing... I'm so excited for you guys! I wish you the very best!! <3

A quick question, lets say we have met and decided that we want to still get married and he proposes to me... Where do we start? What application or form is to be filled?

Living apart you won't see a person at their worst probably ever. Me and my husband knew after 6 months as well.. we filed after about a year and meeting once for 3 months. There is time for lots of courtship and discovery during this time

 

Also life is too short to not take some risks and live it to the fullest (not saying she shouldn't take precautions when meeting as described by another member). Some marriages don't last even if ppl knew each other for years ahead and some last forever after a few months. None of us know how well they know the "real" eachother. You can only ever put your trust and all in and hope for the best.

Anyhow, we are all different in risk-taking..I'm sure OP and bf will make the right decision for them  

Tack så mycket för all hjälp!

I have been discussing this quite a bit with him and we thought maybe we could first meet once I graduate... But the question is, can you apply for a fiance visa while I'm still staying in the US? Or would I have to first go home to apply for it? 

If so, we would meet for a few weeks and then apply for it and is it then possible to visit the US or have him visit me while the application is procressing?

Thanks for all the help from everyone!

Oh, I had no idea you had to be 21... I see,  and I understand that we might be rushing it and you are definitely right.. it's just hard sometimes

thank you for your advice though!

Have you met at all in person?

Sadly no...  Which is why I wondered if it's better to just spend 2017 to visit each other and spend time that way? 

Hi! For the past few months me and my fiance have been questioning what we should do about us living together one day.

We are both very young, (I'm 18 and will be turning 19 and he's just a year older than me) We have been together for about half a year which isn't much... I know, but we are positive that we want to spend forever with each other. Having a long distance relationship is hard and the problem with being young and living in Sweden (he's in FL) is that we haven't had time to see each other... We did try to, we got plane tickets for me to see him but my parents refused me to go and threaten to kick me out if I went, which is a problem since I am still attending to school. 

I will be graduating in June 2017 and we have been deciding that we want to live together, even get married and start a life together this year. It's painful loving someone you can't hold or touch... So my question for you guys is,  what should we do?  What is the best we can do?

I know that our case isn't really that "good" and I'm terrified of getting rejected of a K-1 fiance visa... Is the best we can do to visit each other for 90 days and try to apply for the visa till next year? Or can we get it all done this year?

Please help, I want us to be certain before doing something big like this! Thank you in advance!
