Wonder if she has read the I 864

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Currently, I am in the United States with an F-1 visa, and I have graduated, but I am nearing my unemployment period because of this bad market! (This isn't the reason for marriage, but I am stating it.) I am hoping if we do get the I-485 receipt, I can take that to colleges that accept it, and can continue on my F-1 visa, thus I am not out of status, as some colleges accept the I-485 receipt. 

The fact that you are focused on marrying her to pursue this plan of action screams immigration fraud.

 

You elect to apply for the fiance or spousal visas to pursue a life with a person you love in the United States.  Using those visas as a means to circumvent an expiring visa is beyond inappropriate.

I hate it when Older men just get away with it!

There is a better argument for the age difference when the man is older, because of very real biological reasons.  An older woman cannot create a family with her spouse.  An older man with a younger spouse can.

USCIS needs to increase their security!

Can't argue with that.

I'm sorry; I should have worded it better! Well, I mean to say I want to get married to her so that we're inseparable! I can't withstand how she would live without me (I cook and also clean for us). 

 

My F-1 visa doesn't expire until 2027. I happened to graduate early, although my I-20 expired since I graduated.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but if your I-20 expired you have a 60 day grace period to leave. You are no longer authorized to remain in the US if your I-20 is expired. 
Failing to leave within 60 days means you will be unlawfully present in the US. 

 

 

Reading is what? Fun-da-men-tal!
