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.

This is incorrect. Immigration does NOT need to prove foul play - in what is essentially a very rare phenomena in the US, the burden of proof is actually on the petitioner to show that the reentry and subsequent marriage were done without the intent to defraud.

I do agree that OP should speak with an immigration attorney ASAP.

(Nope, not an attorney - but I'm a legal permanent resident and went through the whole thing some years ago ;) )


First, the receipt notice does not mean your application won't be denied; that decision will not be made yet (it will generally be made the same day you are interviewed although there are exceptions to this).

But please confirm - you were NOT married when you entered using the Visa Waiver, and then got married a month later, correct? I know I keep asking but the actual answer may make a difference.

If you can answer that I'd be happy to go into a few more details about just why your application may appear suspicious, ok? :)

two week from day of biometric,

?!

Despite your rudeness - there is more than ONE method of entering the US legally as a tourist, and I was trying to ascertain WHICH way you did it - I'll try to explain something to you.

You came into the US as a tourist - when you obtained this visa, you effectively promised that you do NOT intend to become a resident at that time.

The 30/60 Day Rule: The Department of State has an unwritten 30/60 day rule to help consular officers determine if someone has committed visa fraud. Even though this rule was developed by the Department of State, it is also used by USCIS when they are adjudicating applications within the United States. Foreign nationals coming to the US on tourist visa are subject to this 30/60 day rule.

This 30/60 day rule makes it risky to apply for change of status or marriage based adjustment of status within 60 days of arriving in the US and very dangerous within 30 days of arriving. People who commit visa fraud can become permanently ineligible to enter the US or receive immigration benefits. This is why it is extremely important to know about this rule and to understand how it works before you get married and apply for adjustment of status.

To answer your question, in my case I received EAD within about two weeks, but this will obviously vary by region.

congrats on the biometrics appointment. it takes about two weeks for the EAD to come in the mail. after that go apply for SSC and DL.
