Re: " I understand you met his mom and know him emotionally well so the chance of something going horridly wrong is EXTREMELY low..."

With all due respect to this pollyanna advice, the advice given on the risk being "extremely low" is extremely naive. You haven't met him yet, you only "know" him via the internet which means you don't know him really, and having "met" his mother is not in the least indicative of good intentions since families collaborate in these scams. many times you won't know the risk until after the visa / green card comes through. Do you want to take the risk of having your children bond with him and then see him disappear or abuse you then disappear ? becuase the majority of these marriages end this way.
