Re: internet love
Immigration is dubious of all relationships until you convince them that the relationship is legitimate. They also tend to take the traditional position that you have to meet someone in person to really know them. Good luck!
Re: internet love
Q1 is mostly relevant for fiance visas. If the persons in question are already married and maintain a bona fide marriage, how their relationship started may not be as critical. For Q2, citizenship of the non-U.S. person is generally not relevant to the issue of obtaining
lawful permanent residency through marriage to the U.S. citizen/LPR.
The above reply is in the nature of general information, is not legal advice and should not be relied on as such.
