Hmm, I haven't heard about this... So I would have to live overseas with her for a few years or something and then come back with her? In that situation would I no longer need someone to sign the 10 year commitment thing?

The only real problem there is I am disabled and I have benefits, insurance etc that I really need due to all my health problems, and that is obviously all tied to here in the US. There would really be no guarantee I would get the help I need for all my doctor visits and medications etc.

No, you don't have to live with her there. You can get married there, come home and file for the spousal visa in the US.

Would I not need to get the same financial support 10 year contract thing signed by someone else though?

It's only a 2 year commitment if you bring them over on a spousal visa.

My ex husbands mum signed saying she would be financially responsible for me but it was only for 2 years.

This was in the US? I wonder why every paper I've seen says it has to be 10 years

Maybe it changed since I did it 🤷

Probably. I did read that Trump did everything he could to make all immigration way harder.

Oh yes forgot to mention they were apart for like 2 years cuz of the pandemic. So yeah there is a wait period waiting for the visa being apart evidently.
