Can i stay in america if i marry him?
I'm 19, and planning on moving to America. I'm going there for someone who i know very well that i met online(but never in person) and i want to know, how can i go about doing it? Before i go, do i need a working visa? or can i tell them the truth, that i met a man online and i want to be with him in america? Also, If i'm planning on going there to marry him, do i even need a working visa? a friend told me if i tell customs or whoever the truth about how we've only met online, that they might not let me into America. Is that true? I'm Australian, and I really need to get there and live there so i can be with him, and of course, i'd be living with him. so tell me, how does all this work?

Hi,
Please remember your safety. It is just being sensible. Let someone (your family/close friend) know when and where you are going. Dates and addresses.
Meeting someone you haven’t met always has some risk. PLEASE book a return ticket. The worst thing is to be in America wanting to get home but not having the money. Or keep the money for a return ticket in a separate bank account. Or with family.
If you get over there and it works out, great! If it doesn’t seem how you imagined it to be you have had a good learning experience and there is no harm in going home with the knowledge that you have been to America. Is there someone who would like to travel with you for a holiday?
I don’t know what documents you will need to enter America, you will definitely need a work visa if you plan on working over there. Research online, Australia will have a govt page with details.

Well, there are different ways. You can go for a visit. I think you can stay up to a month with just your passport. But of course, that's just temporary. If you want to stay, you need a visa. The kind of visa you get depends on what you want to do. If you want to come study, you need a student visa - those are the easiest kind to get but you need to be enrolled somewhere first. IF you want to work, you need a work visa, those are a lot harder to get and you must have proof that you have a job first. Marrying an American doesn't guarantee anything. Whatever you do, you have to be honest about it, because if you get caught you can be deported and denied re-entry into the U.S. for as long as 5 years. You need to contact your immigration department and ask these questions. And go online and do a search of U.S. requirements. What you CAN'T do is just get on a plane and come. Trust me, nobody at customs cares if you want to see your boyfriend or your mother or your best friend. They care that you have the right paperwork. Come for a visit first. When you get here, go to immigration and start filling out the right paperwork. Then head home and wait for the right documents. Right now there is a woman in San Diego who was here illegally from Australia. She came as a student years ago and never left. She has two children (both born here) and is married to an American. She is being deported because she did not file the legal paperwork. The government doesn't care that she is married to an American. So don't risk it. It can blow up in your face. Do your research.
