    Help with Adjusting Status

    Hello Everyone,
    My post here will be a bit long but I would rather give details and seek help. I am new to the forum and to the adjusting of status process.
    I will be marrying my fiance who is USC next week and will proceed to file for a green card. I read a lot about the process mainly form this and other forums and got a little owrried about a few things so I hope you guys can help. First I and my FH meet in 2017 while I was on my OPT, we have been togheter even since with a short break up for a few months. I went out of status last year and reminded without any legal status. There are a few things that I read could be red flags for us so I wanted to get yur opinion on it. First he is 6 years younger than me, and does not have college education. I have a Master's degree. I read somwere that education level could be red flag. Second he does have criminal record from a few years back which are all clened up and he is good now, but I read that this could be a red flag as well. Third has pretty much no relationship with his family. He talks to his sister and we all go out and so but thats it. His mother originaly said she will come to the wedding, now she said she can't . He got mad and said he does not want her at the wedding anyways. We are having a small court wedding as I dont have my family here or friends and his are none existent. Our relationship is real and we have been tru a lot together for the past 2 years. I know that from the look of it it looks like I am a girl well educated with master degree and he is a guy with no education and criminal record, with no relationship with his family so we dont match but we reallt fund each other and are best friends and lovers now. We really love each other and support each other. We live together, have the lease, utilities bills, phone bills, on joint account, but I am affraid that they gonna flag us and tirutre us at the interview. At the very least they are gonna ask for his family who basiccly lives here in the city but don't want to be around him because they are all selfish. His mother does not even care and at this point he is upset and does not even want to see her or make any effort to invite her at the wedding or even afterwards or something. is anyone gount tru the same or have gone? Does anyone have any sugestions or input on how this can be looked at in the interviwe. i am very streesed . we dont have money to pay for attorney as I work very little because of the paper issue. Thank you very much!

    Nothing you mentioned sounds like a red flag to me. I do not think you have anything to worry about. What USCIS wants to see is evidence of a bona fide relationship/marriage, and it sounds like you have plenty of that with lease, joint checking, bills, etc.

    Your age difference is not that big. My husband is 10 years younger than me. Education level difference shouldn't be an issue either, as long as your husband earns enough to be your sponsor, otherwise you will need a joint sponsor. In fact, you having a masters might help, as it can show that you have higher earning potential, and are less likely to seek government assistance.

    As far as your USC husband having crimes in his past, that shouldn't matter as they are more interested in the immigrant's criminal past. Doesn't talk to his family? I don't think that matters either. Not all families are perfect. USCIS understands that. No mother at the wedding? No problem. It could just be the two of you and a judge, if that is what you want. My husband's (the immigrant's) parents are not cool with the gay thing, so he didn't tell them until after the wedding. They still didn't care, so as of now they are not part of our life together.

              I agree with the not real red flags here.
              Im the immigrant in our marriage, im a doctor with a speciality and my husband dropped college, the important thing is he has a job, tax returns and he is able to sponsor me, he has criminal record (nothing really bad, just cannot work for police haha) and that wasnt important, we were reading about it and I was shocked to find out people from jail can file for their relatives as long as they are not convicted for human trafficking, domestic violence among other crimes. That gap age is meaningless. Family relationship...they are gonna ask you if you know them and or if you know your in laws names. Other than that, they want to see proof of your life together, as soon as you get married, get bank joint accounts, probably your interview will come til next year so make sure to send joint tax return starting 2020 so you bring it to interview. and im not sure about being out of status but i know many people who adjusted status in that condition as long as they never went through removal or ilegal entrance to US.
              good luck.

                Thank you very much! That gives me a piece of mind as I got really stressed out. We already have a few joint accounts, lease, phones, we are getting bank account soo as well since we share expenses and its easier. Taxes we will file as married as well
