That doesn't matter. One of the requirement is that the US-petitioner has to be at least 18.

understood! thank you for your reply and the clarification on the law

Then why didn't you write that?

To me it sounded that you were already close to 90 days.

oh no i meant that ive stayed a week longer than my originally expected departure date im going to be getting a one way ticket back  in like a week or so

I have to agree here.

You would have to wait at least 2 more years because she, as the US-sponsor, has to be at least 18 years old.

Get to know each other better and then see where your relationship leads to.

 

 

PLEASE DO NOT OVERSTAY YOUR LEAVE DATE! If you were supposed to leave a week ago, why are you still here? You are illegal in the country and that could cause serious problems for you the next time you want to visit her.

Just because you decided that you wanted to stay longer doesn't that mean that you ARE ALLOWED TO stay longer. The ESTA document is only valid for 90 days and you are required to leave on day 90 the latest.

I have not overstayed my 90 days im at day 67/90 at the moment I just did not go back with my originally intended return flight

Here (https://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/immigrate/family/immediate-relative.html#3) it says:

 

"There is no minimum age for a U.S. sponsor (petitioner) to file a petition for a spouse. However, you must be at least 18 years of age and have a residence (domicile) in the U.S. before you can sign the Affidavit of Support (Form I-864 or I-864EZ). This form is required for an immigrant visa for a spouse and other relatives of U.S. sponsors."

 

So basically she would have to be 18 and she is 16. 

 

I know you are not looking for personal advice, but you've only met for 2 months and once in person. You have all your life ahead of you. If you did well in school you could try to do your bachelor degree in the US with an F-1 visa (student) or if you are studying back home you can go to the U.S. as an exchange student (a semester abroad). You can also do a "work and travel" program. There are many other ways to come for a bit longer and get to know each other. 

 

There is a reason why all this age requirements exist. Teenagers' brains aren't fully developed and they are more likely to make rush decisions without thinking of the consequences (it is science, not my personal opinion). 

 

hey we know eachother for 2 years and ive been here 3 times now totalling 6 months

Hello I'm visiting my girlfriend whom I met online for the past 2 months now she is 16 and I'm 18 years old. I was supposed to leave a week ago (Im on vwp) but we decided to stay a bit longer when she got the idea that we could get married then adjust my status

So I was wondering if this was possible if the petitioner is not 18 years old?

Her parents are really cool and they would sign our marriage papers and sign themself as my sponsor during the adjustment period as well.

Would this ever work or is it a dead idea before we even try to do it?

Much Regards
