It fell apart because he was abusive (had a lot of arguments and what not). And I had no one to turn to, so I turned the other guy for emotional support. 

Okay sweetie, tell yourself whatever you need to so you can sleep at night.

 

good luck on your immigration journey, I hope you will meet mr right (now) soon

Oh, to be young again 😂

 

FYI, the fact that your beloved is in the military may actually work against you. marriage fraud is rampant in the military even among US citizens. It's most often perpetrated by non-NCO enlisted men. So that will be another red flag on your petition. Given your ages, I'm guessing your fiance fits that description. USCIS and the military have been working hard together the last several years to curb the high, and increasing, rates of marriage fraud.

But really, there is nothing to do but apply and hope for the best.

As an aside, my favorite super-fast marriage I witnessed in the military was when my unit was temporarily assigned to Biloxi, MS for 2 weeks. In that time, a guy in my unit met the love of his life dancing at a bar and they got married. Cute little redhead. She packed her things in her mustang and practically beat us getting back to San Diego. That was 25 years ago and as far as I know, they're still together.

That sounds awesome. But yeah, marriage fraud is if I have intentions of adjusting status whilst I’m on my tourist visa, which I am not stupid enough to do. This is why I said I’d go back and apply for CR1 so it won’t be marriage fraud. Thanks for the insight!

To be fair, so do the soldiers. Non-NCOs typically can't live off-base unless they're married. And even if they choose to live on-base, they get a nice "geographical bachelor" allowance which makes a nice car payment or buys a heck of a lot of extra beer at the E-club.

Of course not, just love with certain intentions. Nothing wrong witht it.

Marriage fraud is also when you shopping among US citizens and get married for green card only. Its not only about intent to adjust.

What sort of on post allowance is that? We were actually loosing money living on post comparing to BAH we'd receive living off post.

But i’m not getting married for a green card only . I’m not from a poor country, I’m from the UK and have just as much opportunities (just won’t be with my loved one). My intentions are just to be with him.

Poor has nothing to do with it, your words and actions scream of desperation to come to the US (visa shopping) that is what everyone has been saying.

 

your story and timeline show this and I will bet my business the co at the embassy will think the same way

Geo-bachelor is when the soldier's family doesn't live near the base. So, if you marry your "friend" from your hometown and she stays there, you get to both live in the barracks and get BAH to help offset the family's living expenses where they are. Yes, if the service-member is legitimately supporting the family, it won't be enough to completely cover expenses. But if she's happy to just get the insurance for her and probably kids, and the service-member gets to keep the geo-bach BAH money...everybody wins! Except the taxpayers, of course.

Marriage fraud is a serious thing. Just saying. 

Also, entering the country on an ESTA with an intent to marry is visa fraud.

Oh really? I even spoke to him about immigrating to the UK but we all know that is MUCH harder and stricter than immigrating to the US.  

The UK is a much better place imo. But I’m willing to live in the US just to be with him.
