American citizen wanting to marry a guy from pakistan

[swoozygirl 0]

I am 22 years old.I am a U.S Citizen. He is 23 years old. He is from pakistan. We met in my local town. He came to the U.S as a student. We fell in love. We want to get married and we are looking for advice. So if anyone could help us that would be nice. He has to leave the u.s because of his visa that he is here on. He is leaving in 2 weeks.

What kind of visa is he on? Unless it has a home-stay requirement (some J visas especialy do), the easiest would be for the two of you to get married now and him to adjust status without leaving the USA- that is assuming you are ready to get married right now of course!

If you wish to wait for whatever reason, you must first decide whether you want to get married in the USA (you'd need a k1 visa for him to come back as a fiance, then get married within 90 days), or get married in Pakistan/ somewhere outside the USA, in which case you'd get married, then apply for the CR-1 visa. More info on all the options are in the VisaJourney Guides

Thank you for your advice!! It is helpful. It is confusing and i am just trying to figure all this out. We would like to get married in the U.S. But in the end if i can be with him it does not matter where i get married. I did not know if being younger was going to be a huge problem or not with trying to get the k1 visa.

If you're ready to get married now, I would get married before he has to leave. That way you wouldn't have to go through the 6+ months of being apart while waiting for the K-1 or whatever other visa you choose to get. Good luck in whatever you choose to do!

if ur both ready to get married at this point in time then u will need to make sure that u make enough money to show support if not then get a sponsor or co sponsor as in a family member or friend that makes enough.

Yea thank you everyone! I am so gald to be getting advice. We will have to wait. Because of the state i live in they require alot for us to get married. Like we have to prove we want to get married because we love each other. Plus he has six months of schooling to finish back in Pakistan.

What kinds of things does the co sponsor??
