Where does your fiancee live?

[Nwanyioma 11]

This is a dumb question but will it be a problem if I still live with my parents? See in our culture (igbo culture) it is not advisable to move out until one is in the process of getting married. They know and love my fiancee and Im in the final stages of getting our own apartment when he comes. Im just so nervous. You know Naija. They can be very unpredictable. I just dont want any surprises. Any suggestions will do.

No question is dumb... I know about Igbo culture, my SO lived with his family too. I never heard it to be a problem in our case, I had to move back to my parents due to the financial pressure of immigration too. As I understand having an apartment there can be a bit difficult, you pay for more than a year and such. It is completely the responsibility of the person who asked the government to let you come, your fiance, to prove that he can take care of you financially once you come to the U.S. - I understand your fears, but as far as my knowledge it's not a problem.
