I have a few questions

I have been "dating" and egyptian man for about a year. He lives here in US and has been here since 2000, He has talked about marriage on several occasions, more recently. I have been reading these posts and just haved a few questions. I have not yet met his family as he is the only one here in the US and neither of us have had time to travel with our studies.

I am older then him by five years, and divorced. When i asked him if this bothers him he says no and the fact that having children is out of the subject is ok with him to. Im just curious about his family, I guess I see all these posts of men "trying" to marry US women to be here in the US, I dont think this is something I have to worry about but it will always be in the back of my mind. He says there will not be a problem with his family as he is the oldest of four boys. Are there certain things I should be "watching" for, changes in behavior that would signify that he is doing this just to stay in the US? I hopes this makes sense to everyone, I have never posted on one of these before.
