QUESTION
Will it be difficult for my boyfriend to get his papers after we marry. He is from Argentina and come here 12 years ago on a visa nd never returned

More details to this question:
We are concerned immigration will question our age difference. He is 38 and I am 55. I was determined disabled nd receive ssi. He was told if I receive gov help, he will never get his papers. And about sponsers..... i am due to receive a very large settlement from aN accident... would we still need one. Does he have to get a tin number and pay taxes for the years he was here. We think our case is very complicated,,,,,,,his main concern now is if I receive any kind of gov help, even marrying me, he couldn't get his papers, is that true?

It is NOT true that you cannot sponsor a foreign spouse if you receive government benefits as a US citizen. Your foreign husband cannot seek government benefits without you being personally responsible for those costs--but he would still be able to stay here. You shouldn't worry about the age difference--if your marriage is legitimate, you will have no problem proving what the immigration services wants to see in a bona fide relationship.
