But I'm scared about my family knowing I want to keep it a secret until the right time .will all the documents come in my address is there a way I can put his address instead. Please do let me know.
A:
Hey, contact an Immigration Attorney before you file to ensure that your boyfriend can prove lawful admission. Lawful admission is required for adjustment of status to greencard holder. Otherwise, the applicant needs to return to his country and file through consulate process.
Address: make sure you use a reliable address when filing USCIS documents. If you miss some notices, it could seriously affect your case. You can also update your address online if you move.
Good luck.

A: If boyfriend crossed the border Illegally then your case is not a guarantee for approval. He will need to file a waiver and demonstrate that you would suffer extreme hardship if he was not allowed to remain here.
