I need your help. I am 27 studying in USA and I got married proposal from him who is U.S. citizen 82 years old

We dated for almost 2 years; went to 5 countries and lived together for almost a year. We have shared bank account and his family knows about our relationship and they are ok with it mine are very conservative and religious so they are not aware although my boyfriend visited my family last summer.

We do genuinely love each other and don t feel the age gap at all. He actually proposed last summer but i was not sure so asked for more time together and now i feel like I do want to be with him and this time together connected us even more. We live together since September.

I would not say he is rich and I do not really depend on him either, I am pretty independent. I am look for any advice on how to best move forward in this case?

I feel like we have a strong evidence but at the same time I am worried of the age gap.

anyone has similar experience or can share anything?

Hello everyone,

I have a question regarding nickname please.

Example, my legal name is Natalie but some friends and family call me Nat but this is not in any legal documents. I didn t put Nat as nickname in I130. In an affidavit letter for I130 I was referred to as Natalie at the beginning and through out the letter with note at the beginning (sometimes called Nat). My question is should I put Nat in I751 under a nickname? I didn t put that in I130.

Thank you all.

We am currently working on my step sons N600. I am sure more questions will come up as we progress through it that I will ask here. The first part we are stuck on is where they ask when and where you entered the country. He entered through Ohare airport so should we select Chicago, Il for that question? The second part we are stuck on is where it asks for the date his Philippines passport that he originally used to travel to the US was issued on. He no longer has his original passport as he had to have it renewed and received a new one so we don't know the exact date his original passport was issued. Can we just put the date it was renewed? That's all I have for now. I'm sure more questions will come up as we progress through it further.

Another question:

"What was the USCIS office that granted your LPR status or location where you were admitted?"

We are not sure what the answer to this is. Should we just put Chicago?

My spouse is a Kenyan citizen who has migrated to the states on a K-1 visa. We were married shortly after he arrived and are now working on filing his I-485. I just want to make sure that were are not overlooking an A#, but we can't find it anywhere including on the Visa nor Customs & Boarder Patrol passport stamp where he was Admitted at the port of entry. He was not given any documents when he entered. Are we missing something?

My girl friend is applying again for a tourist visa in Colombia, our plan is that I'm going there to get plastic surgery and she's travelling to US with me to stay for a week.

Do you recommend that she adds me as her travel companion on the DS-160 and saying that's the purpose of her travel? Helping me on the trip and visiting for a week?

She was denied a couple months ago under section 214(B). She said she was staying with me but we didn't add that we were travelling together or my surgery, do you think this would help her case or could it look bad that she's not only staying a here but travelling with me?

I might travel with my kids (6 and 8yo), would it be a stronger case to say she's helping me because I had surgery and travelling with the kids? In that case, should I add them as travelling companions as well?

TIA!
