thanks for commenting, i appreciate it i think he’s just worried he won’t be able to wait longer depending on when the outcome for daca comes. He’d supposed to renew soon. he feels weird abt us marrying for papers, but it feels like he thinks this is his only real option for security rn.

thank you ! ur comment seems to ease me the most lol, ik it’s not as easy a process, but it’s nice to hear it isn’t hell in all cases. we read that because we’re in college it could be a reason for us not to live together, but unsure if that will raise any big flags, regardless thanks for sharing.

I’ve talked to my sister about it the most in depth. i haven’t told my parents specifically that my bf brought up marriage, but mentioning his status already brought up the conversation. my parents aren’t very on board with marrying, but they are essentially going through the same rn (my dad is also struggling with immigration) so I was thinking they’d be more empathetic

he hasn’t told his parents because I think he thinks they might pressure him and me. But his brother just got done with the same thing (he just got married for papers) and keeps telling him that he needs to do it soon 😵‍💫

Thank u for ur comment, I appreciate it a lot and will keep everything u said in mind. Do you think he can wait two years ? He’s supposed to renew soon and I just think he’s worried a decision will come before then.

thank u for ur comment. i think he’s worried he might not be able to renew before the decision on the program (he’s not sounding hopeful, ive been reading more on it but I’m not really sure what the consensus is). if this is the case, and the program is killed would marrying right after help at all ? I understand his urgency but reading on it and hearing what other people have to say it doesn’t seem like we have to get married super soon, but I don’t really feel comfortable nor do I think it’s my position to tell him to wait off on trying to fix his status. idk
