@GMTplus7 thank you for your reply. My boyfriend arrived to US and we are thinking about to settle down. Well, I had heard some people get married to claim themselves as financially independent.
And according to UC Davis, “Married and Not Claimed on Taxes: You are married or in a registered domestic partnership and you were not claimed as an income tax deduction by your parents or any other individual for the tax year immediately preceding the term for which you are requesting resident classification…” It is one of the qualification to claim yourself as a financially independent.
So I would like to know marrying just anyone would be fine or if I need to marry someone that pays taxes.
