New here so please bear with me ????. Sorry it's very long.
I was widowed in December 2016 and turned to the internet for support. We had two kids. I met my current husband on a mutual ******** group for a TV series we both love.
I flew out to meet him from Spain to the states in December 2017. I then flew out practically every other month and introduced the children to him also. He was at that time a permanent resident. In February 2018 he applied for citizenship. Attended an interview - no answer. We continued visiting and he proposed and we didn't really care about the outcome of his application etc we just loved each other and wanted to be married. We married in December 2018. More visits in 2019 and then finally we came for 6 weeks in the summer (we did the same thing last summer) June 2019. We were fully prepared and intending to go back and continue the wait for him to receive an answer from uscis. However while here on holiday he saw movement on his case and we decided to stay a little longer than the 6 weeks, in August he got notification of approval. We decided to stay and adjust status. The children went to school on the 28th August. We were still within the esta vwp 90 days. On September 15th we went out of status, on September 25th my husband was naturalized. We are making the applications now for myself and my two children.
I'm wondering if the 90 day intent rule is an issue? If the case is considered complex and we should get a lawyer? It's just so so expensive. Would be grateful for any advice.
