Jeez. Don't you know what a condom is for?

You screwed up your life for at least the next 18 years.

I agree with the others that say don't marry this woman.

You'll be on the hook supporting the kid for at least 18 years but, at least, not her.
She's not pregnant anymore. That's why I'm doing this in the first place..

Why will annulment not happen?
Because there must be basis for the annulment. Divorce is cheaper and faster anyway.

We will live together also. She does want me. I know there were other guys that have hit on her but she's a really faithful one. This isn't my concern.
Uh huh. You must be very young. How old are you?
My only issue is that yes im doing her a favor so I just want my ass covered. For me, an ideal marriage is done under God in a church with witnesses present and not under a paper under the state. So for me this is just a way to ensure we have our relationship continue for another 3 years minimum.
Um ... no. No, it's not. She can marry you tomorrow and in 6 months time get a restraining order, and bingo - she suddenly qualifies for VAWA and you're on the hook ... potentially forever.

Besides she's really well behaved and amazing.
Is she a puppy?! "Well behaved"? According to who? You? Your moral stance isn't exactly exemplary here, son.

Takes care of family and her man really well.
It'll be much easier for her to keep herself really well taken care of once you're paying her $1100/month. So there's that.

But I've been telling her I'll do it for like 1.5 months ever since the end of her pregnancy. I felt bad so I brought it up.

Now I'm just asking for some help to ensure my finances remain safe. Otherwise we will live together, she's not paying me, and we will be in a relationship like any other couple. A real relationship.
Which part of "She will be living here illegally" are you not understanding?

It's unlikely she'd even file for those and she doesn't even know about those things. What is VAWA anyway.

Anyway, I told her I'll marry her.

The i130, 485, and affidavit of support is something she will have to do.

Furthermore I'll be living in my own place and she her friends. If she moves in with me I'll bring in a roommate

Though all those what if disaster scenarios are extremely unlikely. It's just gonna be a normal relationship

Okay, one of two things is happening here.

You're either trolling, or you're incapable of understanding the written word. Either way, we're done here.

Bye!

VAWA = Violence Against Women Act.

You are deluded if you think that she incapable of learning about those things.

The set up you aspire to pretty much sets you up for having to deal with either identity theft or abuse accusations.

Anyway, I told her I'll marry her.

The i130, 485, and affidavit of support is something she will have to do.
No. It's not something that someone here on a tourist visa can do.

If you think her friend is going to be willing to sign the affidavit of support, then perhaps the friend should be the one marrying her.

Furthermore I'll be living in my own place and she her friends. If she moves in with me I'll bring in a roommate

Good to see you plan on being really obvious about having a fraudulent marriage.

Your not making it clear to me.

I'm not certain how to get out of my promise to her.

Were in a relationship already and she has to go back soon as she's soon to be 6 months here.

She knew it was never my intention to marry her here but she loved me. It's because she got pregnant and then unpregnant that i made this decision.

But I told her I will not be paying the fees for the i130, 485, and will (if it's possible) place the support burden on her friend living here.

I understand some of you are saying don't marry in the first place but I've made her wait for like 2 months. Now I'm her only hope and don't know how to say 2 days before marriage, "hey Btw, not gonna marry you. Ok bye"
