Hi
I just need some good opinion for my situation. It might be a little bit long but sorry.. So here is the case, I got my GC through lottery 5 years ago and I will have my citizenship interview in 5 days. Hopefully, if there is no other problems , I will be a US citizen. My girlfriend has been in US for 2 years with the J1 visa, her visa got expired in August 5th but she is in her grace period right now..
We know each other 4-5 months and decided to marry. I know it sounds really weird but I love her , she loves me and seems like the relationship goes pretty good. So here is the complicated part starts.. If I marry her after I become US citizen ,
1) Do you guys think since we met 5 months ago, can it be viewed suspicious from the interview officers ?
2) Since she was an AU-Pair , she was living with her host family and I was living with my roommate. So , basically we did not live together but we are planning to. Is it a big problem that we did not live together ?
3) After we get married, I am planning to rent a place for us and put both of our names on it. Also, open joint account, put her on my car insurance, what else we can also show as a proof ?
We took some pictures but they are not like very old 1 2 months ago. And , we did not had a vacation together so any other ideas ?
4) Before she is out of status which is September 6 , we can marry. However , my concern is we have been together 5 months and lets say I become citizen August 24 . All those dates are really close to each other less than maybe 6 months, do you guys think immigration think this is a fake marriage even it is not ?
5) Worst case scenario, if our application got denied, we can appeal . After appeal if it still gets denied, will be future wife will be deported even I am married to her ?
6) Last question , if they think it is a fake marriage, can it be possible for me to loose my citizenship or rights in here ?
If you guys answer and give some ideas , I really appreciate it. Thanks..
