Asked in Immigration Law for Texas

Q: I live in DK, when I marry my fiancé in US, his in prison in TX, how can I go and live there now or when he gets out?

I’m a 41 year old woman from Denmark. I’m on early retirement do to fibromyalgia. I have a 6 year old daughter, she doesn’t see her father and I have full custody. I’m engaged to an inmate in TX. I have visited him a few times, and talk regularly with his family, and we plan a life together. But how can my daughter and I go and live in the TX? We can’t speak on the phone because I live abroad, and I can only visit him once or twice a year, so we have talked about me moving there, so I can visit him regularly and we can talk on the phone, but can I do that? Or what about when he gets out, how can my daughter and I go and live with him?

I can take my monthly disability payment with me to the US. I’ll get about 2400 us dollars a month and 225 dollars a month in child support.

My fiancé and his family lives in Jacksonville Texas.

And can he, when we get married adopt my daughter? And will that make a difference on our situation?
