I understand the LEGAL age for marriage is 18+, but with the current 12+ month expected time to get the VISA, I have an interesting and unusual question.
Does the girl absolutely NEED to be 18 before we can meet, date, and get engaged?
...and submit the I-129F packet?
(even with her families full support)
Is anything before she is 18 unusable?
* She will be 18 (or maybe 19) by the time she gets the Visa to come to the USA. I'm thinking that her age at THAT TIME is all that REALLY matters.
Background: I first met the FILIPINA girl when she was 16 through an app. At that time I didn't want to WAIT for her to become 18. So we just remained FB "friends."
Recently, she said that she was 17 now. So, I think, why not explore the chemistry at least. We have great chemistry and she's much more HONEST than many others I chat with. I really like her and I think she could potentially be the BEST choice for me. I want to keep things legal and legit and moral.
(Honestly, I wish she was 19+)
I'm just curious about what can we LEGALLY do without NEEDing to WAIT for her 18th birthday (about 10 months away).
Maybe I will go and meet her and spend time with her (with a chaperone) 6 months before she turns 18, and then submit the I-129F right after that.
Is that possible?
