Marrying Someone From Belfast
The man I love was just sent back to Belfast (his visitors visa renewal was denied). He has applied for a Green Card but we have not heard anything yet. We would like to marry but I am a single mother and full time student. We are getting mixed reports about if I would have to prove financial support in order for us to marry? Can he show bank records and prove he can support himself for 90 days and that suffice in order for us to get a Fiance Visa? Does anyone know if we marry in Belfast if I have to have an Affidavit of Support after marriage? Any advise would be wonderful. We have looked into a work visa and a student visa and neither of those will work.

I don't know if marrying him, then getting him back over and applying for AOS will cause any alarm bells to go off or not within the BCIS.

You have much research to do.
Questions:
Did he arrive on a VWP or B1/2?
Did he overstay this? If so, how long?
How was he sent back? Did he go on his own or was he pushed?
What is more important: to live in the US or the UK?
