He has a GED and some kind of degree in welding

Yes he told me what happened but i don't really know the full story that's why i have to do more research... and thank you!

Thank you i actually didn't know i was going to get so many advice and a lot of them are very helpful! I know what i have to do know. And he didn't know that he would need someone else to sponsor me if we decided to go through all that. He knows nothing about that kind of stuff. Idk why he even he brought up the idea of marriage that soon lol. Yesterday i told him it would be better to consider getting married after spending time together in the outside world so that we can get to know each other better, meet each other's families and see if we're compatible and he agreed lol.

What do you mean by "lack of any former education or job skills/ factory work may be possible if he can pass drug tests"? He was 16 when he went in he's turning 23 soon. And i sent him money once ($50) and then told him i wouldn't send anything anymore. Thank you for your reply!

I don't know how life is for a felon in the US but I'll definitely look into that. He's 23 and i'm 22 ; he's been incarcerated since 2018 and he committed 2nd degree manslaughter. I'm going to take things slow, visit him a few times and see how it goes as i'm not in a rush.

I'm not sure how i can get the court records but i'll take your advice and do some research. And yes after reading other posts i think i'm going to take things slow because after all marriage didn't even cross my mind.

I honestly wasn't even thinking about marriage bc i just met him so i was kind of surprised when he brought it up. I agree with the other posts & you saying i shouldn't be rushing things and get to know him outside the prison. So that's what i'm going to do before considering marrying him. I also understand everyone's concern bc it is a serious crime and honestly if my daughter was dating someone that committed manslaughter i would be concerned as well lol. I just think some people make very bad decisions and it happened when he was a teenager so i believe he changed. But obviously this is just an assumption and the only way i can find out is by spending more time with him, which i plan on doing when he gets out. Thank you for your reply!

My bad lol yes!

Thank you for the advice!

Ok thank you !! Just Swiss

What is VWP? My family doesn't know about our relationship because i feel like they wouldn't approve which is understandable. I'll have to tell them one day anyway but i wanted to do it after our first visits. My friends don't know about the whole marriage thing but they don't think anything much of it they just told me to be careful. Thank you for your reply btw !

Yes i was planning on visiting him more times until he gets out. And i figured the whole process would take a while lol but is there a visa i can apply for to be able to work and live in the US while waiting on my spousal visa? Thank you for your reply btw !

Hi everyone! So my boyfriend & I have been dating for almost 6 months and he's currently in prison. He's getting out in 13 months and has expressed an interest in marrying me. I wanted to know if marrying someone in prison as a foreigner was even possible and if so what kind of visa would i need? He says it is because he knows people who did it but i'm still unsure lol. I haven't met him yet but i plan to in July & August (i got approved for visitation). Would those visits & our messages/phone calls be enough proof? Or would it be better to wait until he's out? I don't really know much about applying for visas & the timelines so i don't know if i could even be approved for one to marry him before he gets out (13 months). I have enough money to support myself but i read that a joint sponsor would be required since he's technically unemployed and will be for the next year. More information : i'm from Switzerland, he's from Kentucky ; we're both in our early twenties (if that matters) & he's in for manslaughter and robbery. Thank you all! Ps : i don't want to be judged i would like some advice or testimonies before considering consulting an attorney.
