I am engaged to marry a Vietnamese woman. I have been on a disability income and don't meet the minimum financial requirements to bring her into this country to live as my wife . Our government wants to be sure she won't become a financial liability. I understand this, but I need to know how to get straight answers about how I can legally marry this woman who is educated and deserving. We are happy to live in Vietnam until our son, who is now five, is ready for high school and university. We would like to be married and bring him here, however, I don't know how to do this. I need advise. I have searched the national website for immigration law, but keep getting into more complicated areas without any direct personal guidance. Is there some way she can travel here, independently of me, like to a sponsor, where we can meet and get married? As far as I know there are no laws to say who I can or can't marry. The question is "can she stay here legally" if we got married that way. She has a good education and a good, honest, hard work ethic. She is more than capable of getting employment here so there is no question of her becoming a liability of the government.
I don't meet the requirements for bringing a Vietnamese woman to the U.S?

she could ask for a visa to get a job are you here already or are you in vietnam if your here you would probably have to prove that she won't be a liability it could go alot better if you had a sponsor that would do this for you do you have any other family members here already you might be able to bring her if one of them could take care of the task the only other thing that might help is getting a visa so she can go to school you might be able to get it done that way
I am in Texas. I do not have family as I am the last surviving member so I am limited as far as available help. I wouldn't know where to begin the process of proof, the whole government tangle of information is beyond comprehension and I do not have extra money for attorney fees. I was suddenly plucked from my job which was richly rewarding and then forced into a financial situation way below anything I ever expected. I am grateful to that extent and happy to have any income. Many people are far less fortunate than I. I never thought I was relationship material because I cared too much to bring anyone into the financial limitations of my life, but love found a way and now I am struggling to get back in control of my finances and consummate our love. However, the government doesn't want to allow me to marry a foreigner and bring her here. To them, she could turn out to be a liability if I can't support her. She is an educated woman with a graduate degree and taught English in Vietnam but she has been unemployed for the last few months. I don't think she has any restrictions for travel but we have talked everyday for a long time on Skype yet I still don't understand why she was turned down for a visa to come here on at least 2 occasions. If I could find a sponsor she might be eligible to come here. If that is the case then what would prevent us from meeting and establishing a relationship, in the eyes of the law, and finally getting married. Can you help me to sort out the confusion. I appreciate your attention to my concern. Thank you again.
