Getting married like a month you enter the state with i b1 visa, hope it will not effect the decision making because we decided to get married in the state because my partner do not want to travel our of the state.A friend of ours told us that we should have waited for like 3months or more.:confused:

YANSTEP i got this from your post



You must qualify to file for an I-130 in the US. Not everyone does, and in some cases doing so can be considered fraud and result in being deported and banned from re-entry into the US for a period of time. If you attempt to file and you do not qualify your legal status in the US can be placed in jeopardy. J1 Visa holders will almost always require a waiver and should consult with an immigration lawyer or the USCIS for more information. If you have any doubt, consult an immigration attorney.

If your fiance/fiancee came to the US on a tourist visa with the intent of immigration and marriage, and you are not yet married, then he/she should return to his/her home abroad, and the K-1 visa should be filed (using an I-129f) instead of the I-130 to avoid a denial, deportation, or even being banned from re-entry to the US.

If you are already married, and your spouse came to the US on a tourist visa with the intent of immigration and marriage, then he/she should return to his/her home abroad, and the I-130 (or along with an I-129f for a K-3 Visa) should be filed with the relative outside of the U.S. to avoid denial, deportation, or even being banned from re-entry to the US.

The above conditions are serious and can result in the separation of families for many years if not taken seriously.

Please confirm - you came to the US with a B1 visa and got married a month later? And stayed?

visit this link:

https://www.usimmigrationsupport.org...ness-visa.html

from the above link

"...General Information on Business Visas: Foreigners working for a foreign entity are allowed to visit the United States on a B-1 Business Visitor Visa. B-1 Business Visas are more advantageous than Visa Waivers for many reasons, including the right to apply for a Visa Extension and Adjustment of Status (Green Card) after entering the United States...."

by law you can apply for AOS whenever you want, 1 month or 3 month it doesn't metter however you will have to prove that you have known your partner for more than a month before the two of you got married.
you say that your partner don't want to travel out of the USA so its unclear how long have you known each other.
if you met each other for the first time when you came to the states and a month later got married its going to be hard to prove a bonafide marriage.

we have known each other for 2year now,2 good years men,i have seen the receipt as i eairlier told you,what is the A number? is the a number the number in the adjustment of status change receipt.

I believe you may run into difficulties here - while it's true that legally you can apply to adjust your status at any point, in getting married the month after you have entered using a tourist visa you've greatly increased the possibility that your marriage will be viewed as suspicious.

Please, seek at least an initial consult with a local immigration attorney.


(Frankly, it may have been easier for you should you have entered on a tourist visa, met someone new and on the spur of the moment gotten married rather than have an established relationship)

yes, the A number is on the 797C that you received.
its the one that says A# or USCIS A#
lol

I think you're missing the point. In THIS situation it doesn't matter how well you know each other - the problem isn't with that side of things. The problem is with the timing of your marriage.

You married within a month of entering the US with a tourist visa, yes?

Please confirm this.

They will press hard on the fact that you got married a month after entering to the US and you will have to to do a very good job convincing them that you didn't came to the states with the intention of immigrating through marriage.
in order for them to reject your application they have to prove a foul play
but as long as your marriage is real you should be OK.

it will be a good idea to talk to an immigration lawyer and to have him look into your case just to be on the safe side.

let me know how things develop.
