B1/B2 Visitor Marrying USC

[trimig]

Hi guys
I would like to know something before marriage.

First time i came USA was in 2003 for my brother's marriage with visa which it was for 18 days. Then i got B1/B2 visa in 2009, Then at that time I was divorced so every winter i started come to the USA to stay for 3 or 6 mounts which I received at entry. Before I returned home I met someone who I developed a great friendship with- she was in the process of ending a long marriage and wanted to get away to find some kind of peace in her head after finding out her husband had been cheating on her for some. I told her she was welcome to my country to stay with me and my family- which she did do- since she had lost so many friends after her divorce. When she returned to the USA, I decided to as well, because my brother lives in the USA and my brother lives in the USA and I am close to him and his family. Over time I have grown closer to this woman and when she told me that her divorce was final I realized that we needed each other and I wanted us to marry. She said "YES"- I have a return ticket this month but my visa to stay is til March 12. Now we will go to the court house to get married- but I/we are wondering what forms I need to fill so that I can stay and be able to work here- since we are both still relatively young and will need to- we saw the financial sponsor affidavit but she can't do that since she is struggling financially- only if my brother is a co-sponsor, plus he is a US citizen and he is working.



Questions
1. What kind a forms i need to fill? Especially regarding for the sponsor and working permit?
2. Will we have any problem about meeting each other from the past even though we just decided to get married?
3. Can they deport me after marrying?
4. I need to work- so what do I do so I can work legally-??? Its all so confusing-


Thank you so much ...

Questions
1. What kind a forms i need to fill? Especially regarding for the sponsor and working permit?

I-130, G-325A, I-485, I-765, I-131, I-864, WITH SUPPORTING EVIDENCE.

2. Will we have any problem about meeting each other from the past even though we just decided to get married?

NO, SO LONG AS THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF USE OF VISITOR VISA WITH INTENT TO IMMIGRATE.

3. Can they deport me after marrying?

IF ADJUDICATED FOR VISA FRAUD OR OTHER CRIMINAL ACTIVITY, ANYONE CAN BE DEPORTED.

4. I need to work- so what do I do so I can work legally-??? Its all so confusing-

HALFWAY THROUGH THE CONVERSION PROCESS, AT ABOUT 2-1/2 MONTHS, YOU WILL RECEIVE AN INTERIM WORK AUTHORIZATION, WITH APPROVAL TO OBTAIN AN SSN, MAKING YOU ELIGIBLE TO WORK.

Other Question...

My very soon wife she is unemployed right now and she is worried that she needs to be a sponsor to me for us to be married. She doesn't have job now and she wants to go back to school she have no money but my brother he US citizenship can be a sponsor for to me because he is in a much better position financially. Can my brother just sponsor me ? Thank you so much...

[rayb]

Trimig,

Your wife has to be the "primary" sponsor, even without income.

Anyone else, however, with proof of legal residency or U.S. citizenship, who is age 21 or older can be a co-sponsor (using form I-864), and this will satisfy the sponsor requirements.

Thank you Ray
Other question if something happened can i sue those sponsors ? I'm asking to make sure they are not liable for me financially ?
Or how can i protect them from me ?

[rayb]

If you incur cat*****phic expenses i.e., medical, maybe, the company or government agency you owe might go after the sponsor. I've never seen it happen, except in divorce court sometimes.

Sponsorship ends when the immigrant becomes a U.S. citizen, or has been a Green Card holder for 10 years, leaves the U.S. permanently or dies.

If the immigrant lacks the motivation to become a U.S. citizen after 3 or 5 years, when eligibility is established, the sponsorship burden lasts for 10 years.

I've had to explain the various sponsorship scenarios several hundred times to people with whom I have worked.

I've had parents, siblings and close friends refuse to sponsor out out of fear that they would end up being sued for big bucks.
I've had parents, siblings and close friends agree to sponsor without giving it a second thought.

I've only been aware of one spouse who tried to make the sponsorship work for her, in divorce court, and the judge told her it was an immigration matter and just take her divorce and move aside.

I'm not sure what you are worried about..but I have generally noticed two things:

1. Non-spouses who are reluctant to sponsor, after hearing all the facts, are just basically insecure, but their feelings need to be respected. They compare the sponsorship request to co-signing for a neighbor's car loan (which it is not).
2. Spouses who are reluctant to sponsor aren't secure about their relationship, and unconsciously (or consciously) expect the relationship to fail. ("self-fulfilling prophecy").

I've sponsored three people: two spouses (at different times) and one wife's nephew. All three are now U.S. citizens. The alimony I pay to the first wife has nothing to do with the sponsorshp agreement...she was just greedy and had a good divorce lawyer.
