I'm an Indonesian muslim (23 y/o) and my bf is a US citizen and is christian (28 y/o). He has kids from his previous marriage. We really love each other. But I hide the relationship from my family because I know they'll ask me to leave him since he's not a muslim and is divorced with kids, my parents are really strict about this. We're planning to get married in the US on fiance visa for me because we can't get married in Indonesia without parental consent letter from my parents. I've read so many articles related to this issue and I've read everything helpful on the US embassy website, but I'd be so thankful if anyone here who has experienced the same thing would kindly share their experience with me. Our plan itself won't happen within this year, we're trying to save money and everything first but we'd like to prepare ourselves before we do our plan.
What I'd like to know is 'what documents do I need to provide?' 'will the US embassy ask for parental consent from me because I'm an Indonesian?' And also I know we need to provide proof of our relationship and I've read that pics of my bf with my family will be helpful, but as you know that my family doesn't know about the relationship so there are no pics of them together 'is this gonna be a problem?' I'd be so thankful if anyone would like to give me useful and helpful informations. Thanks you so much in advance.
Regards,
Mimi
