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

 

It's not.  Entering the country with the intent to marry AND adjust is 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. 

Awnnnn that is so cute and loving....sacrifice your great life in UK for a internet love....That is true love story.

OP, take your time.

 

Meet him.  Spend time with him.  Make sure that - in person - he's the one for you.

 

And then think about next steps.

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. 

USCIS looks at your entire relationship and all the initial circumstances from the beginning to the present and they do make a judgement on that. On a public forum such as this, you're allowed to say, "Please don't pass judgement on my circumstances." But good luck saying that to a federal agent who's been TRAINED to pass judgement on people's relationships.

 

If your intentions are truly to be with him, do this the right way and visit him a few more times before marrying him. Marrying someone on your first visit to that person just screams desperation and naivetie. Unfortunately your age IS a contributing factor to those things.

Hahaha this post is very surreal. No wonder why USCIS has to analyze everything with so much scrutiny. Ohh the good old days where the interview wasn't required in some cases lol

Your country of origin is not listed in your profile....so just to add to what everyone else is saying:

 

If your also coming from a high-fraud country, be prepared for even extra scrutiny ontop of the scrutiny you will already be facing with the prior K1 filing under your belt.

 

Hopefully your country of origin is lower down the list so as to not add to already-present issues.

I’m from the UK.

Yes I don't understand why some people try to downplay how significant and scrutinizing USCIS are. Immigration in the US (a highly developed powerful country) has always been very tough. They're not forgiving people and institutions. It needs to be taken very seriously. To not do so is extremely foolish. There's that saying, "Love is not enough." This is so true with relationships. It's not enough to just love someone and be in love. It takes a lot of work. You and your loved one WILL disappoint each other in some ways because we're human. It is definitely not enough to tell a federal agent, "But we're in love!". To think that that might be enough is immature.

LOL, this site is ridiculous sometimes. Don't mind the haters. If you know your relationship is real, that's what matters. As long as you're honest and legit in your petition and interview, then yes, someone who's TRAINED will most likely see that. There's nothing you've said so far that is a deal-breaker. Your case has some negatives but also has some positives. It's far from a lost cause, that's for sure.
