Marrying a 16 years old.......

well thanks everyone for your help and opinions. Triple Citizen and others, whats the ideal time that should pass before AOS should be filed ?? thanx

Are you married ? If so isn't the 16 year old in high school? does she even have a drivers license? It boggles my mind that her parents would actually encourage this union at this stage in her life :rolleyes:

hey I don't understand why it boggles ur mind when it doesn't boggle her mind.

No I m not married, we just like each other, by the time marriage happens, she'd be 17 but even if she just turned 16 yesterday, if she does not have a problem then why should her parents have any problem and why are u so worried ?!?!?!

Yes she has a drivers license.............

I am not worried. but where I'm from and even here in the USA this is unheard of. Yes SOME 16 year olds engage in sex and drinking and what have you. The bottom-line their concerns are still about what college they will be attending not thinking about marriage. Thinking of marrying someone who is six years older to have him stay in the USA is simply absurd .Why don't you find someone your own age . You are out to ruin the girl's life just to stay in the USA :rolleyes: and I hope the authorities think so too :mad:

when I came to usa on B2 visa at 15, I was thinking about marrying an American to adjust my status. It was a crazy thought. Although I overstayed, I didn't do it. Now I'm 20 and recently got married with the love of my life. I'm glad I waited. Thinking back, I was like a child who thought that marriage is just a piece of paper. How wrong I was! If I had gotten married back then, I don't even know how my life would turn out. I'm studying at a one of the best universities here and having a really great and supporting husband.

Basically I'm saying that, a 16-year-old girl probably loves u and wants to help u out.
But one day, she might wake up and regret marrying at such a young age because her head isn't clear and she still thinks like a child.

I'd say why don't u wait? I waited for 4 years and I didn't have driver license or id only school ids. Marrying a 16-year-old sounds weird and odd to anyone who hears it because this is America. Even I, who thought of getting married at 15, now think it's weird and is not right.

Good luck to u
 
I really do not have a problem with overstays who marry US citizens to change their status. This selfish OP however bothers me :mad: He can be considered a child predator on many levels:rolleyes:
 
As I said earlier, this is my personal opinion. I personally do not agree with B-2 status holders being allowed to file AOS.

I have a problem with the OP in general. Read his first post. He talks about him and the girl LIKING each other in one breath, and in another he wants to know if she can sponsor him to change his status. He has already gone ahead and check the marriage laws of Texas :eek: Nothing about love and or commitment. This dude clearly has an agenda and I pity that 16 year old. If I can pick this up imagine an IO :D
 
Not to defend the OP, USCIS wants a bonafide relationship. A couple does not need to prove that they are in love, they just need to prove the relationship is bonafide. Going back to the OP, I have heard of many cases like this in the Pakistani American community, where the parents of US born children absolutely fear their kids marrying locals and thus they themselves make tremendous efforts to import relatives or family friends and get them married to their children.
If you observe, in one of my earlier posts, I directly asked the OP if he is from Pakistan and he conveniently ignored my question. This made me believe that my first assessment of this case was correct. Bottom line is, if the relationship is bonafide, it is doable. I personally believe no 16 year old should get married, but that is a personal opinion and nothing more.
