  1. Definitely at least several hundred dollars a month per person plus a very high deductible on the ACA/Obamacare. Edited to add: You can actually go to healthcare.gov right now, plug your parents information (birthdate, expected state/city) in and see exactly what it would cost. Keep in mind it goes up every year. I was on ACA for years until very recently, but I am so thankful it exists because without it, we would not have had healthcare.
  2. If she is unable to travel to the interview location, you can try to reach out to them. We postponed our interview for reasons that were way less serious than the one you are describing just to delay travel and we had no issue.
  3. You can still work and travel with your expired green card and the extension letter. We traveled many times with these documents. The wait time for the new card will likely be a while, but it varies by state/jurisdiction. For reference, we waited 18 months from the time we applied and my husband received his 10 year green card over the summer. Some wait 2+ years. We were also randomly selected for an interview, but it was super simple and less than 5 minutes since we had no red flags.
  4. What? My husband and I are extremely frequent travelers and do multiple international trips per year. We would never declare anything like what was listed by the OP. If you bring back something worth thousands of dollars, than sure maybe. But food and inexpensive jewelry? Never.
  5. They don't care how or where you marry as long as it is within 90 days of entering the US on the K1 visa (not before or after). We were never asked about specific wedding dates or plans.
  6. You don't need to naturalize if you don't want to. My husband has chosen not to, even though he was eligible a year ago.
  7. Steps: 1. Get a second job or a new job. Perhaps you will need to study something to make that happen. Your income is very low for US standards and you will not be able to support a future spouse (never mind also proving your ability to sponsor an immigrant and handling what you owe for your current child(ren) you are responsible for). 2. Pay back your child support. 3. Apply for a passport. That takes a few months. You also can not sponsor an immigrant without a passport (or without meeting them). 4. Save up money to travel to Kenya. 4. Travel to Kenya, not just once, but multiple times. Get to know this woman, her family, etc. You do NOT know someone unless you spend time with them face-to-face. Anyone can appear "amazing" online. 5. Apply for either K1 or CR1 whenever that time comes. Timeline would be about 2+ years to get to the US (by today's wait times, which are increasing). Or, as stated above, tell her you would like to move to Kenya. If you truly want to be with her, that will be your easiest solution. Also, Kenya is known for high fraud for a reason. See if she is using you to get to the US. Would you still be in the picture if you decided to move there? Let's see what she says... Good luck! I hope it all works out!
