I am not making the commitment right now (and I have not just met her yesterday either, I apologize if I implied that anywhere), I am just learning the landscape. The process will take a long time to see through (this isn't something we'll be able to drop off at the courthouse and wait for...

That is a really good idea, and I am looking a bit into this too. (and I'll speak with a lawyer about this) If it turns out to be realistic I'd be happy to support her to get naturalized via the study process.. The only thing I was able to find for that in my research is the EB2 Visa, and that...

*sigh* Yea, you may be right. I don't know what we are going to do then.. we'll see what happens and what we can figure out. Very disheartening :(

Thank you so much kdt26417! Really appreciate this, thank you - it sounds like UU may be the way to go if we do this. I will have to look into that for my area and start getting their advice - along with a lawyer of course.

Skipping over the whole wedding part (lets just say I am convinced), does anyone have any thoughts or experience with the other two questions?

Well, there are two or three things involved in that for us personally. Though I should say I am not interested in fighting the big fight and challenging actual marriage laws - I agree with it, I'll donate money to it, but we just really want to live our lives as best we can. So the first...

Thank you everyone for your replies, I will have to think a lot about them and see what I can do. Some of the same questions comments came up a few times so I'll address them a little here, just as notes, but I'll go ahead and look more into all this on my own. Not ready to be married because...

Mmmm I have to admit you are right there - it does somewhat include that I'm afraid, that part is a bit emotionally fraudulent. I had misunderstood, I thought you had meant legally or toward the priest. Financially everything would be divided equally between both of them if anything happen...

Mmm I hear what you're saying though I have to respectfully disagree. My view on a 'religious wedding' is based on the idea of personal spirituality (my connection to someone is between me and them) religious teachings (give unto Caesar what is Caesar's), and the idea of oaths (if I swear...

Thank you so much for the reply! Yes, that's pretty much exactly it, you nailed it! I've started doing some research and it all indicates that the priest expects to fill out the marriage certificate paperwork or, if not, to have it already filled out and handed to him before the ceremony. I...

Hi everyone! It is great to be on this forum (just added my introduction to the proper thread).. I hope that someone can suggest a solution for a bit of a strange situation I find myself in.. [EDIT] (I am in Oregon, US) I will skip past the story introductions (they're the intro thread) and...

Hi everyone. Hmm. Introductions, not terribly good at those but let me try but stay on the topic of this forum? My first long relation was poly - me, the woman who became my fiance, and our best friend / my best man who eventually became her husband instead while I was sent in a different...
