Hi all,
I have been in a serious relationship with my GF who is US citizen. I was on j-1 visa and subject to 2-year rule.. After my graduation I flew back to my home country and I have apprx 1 more year to go to get done with this 2-year rule...
Now, I am on a B1/B2 tourist visa and visiting my girlfriend every two months for one week. My question is:
If we get married during my visit on a tourist visa, and leave US without submitting "adjustment of status" (since I can not apply for immigrant visas due to 2-year rule), is it going to be a big problem when we apply for adjustment of status in the future or am I gonna have trouble in my next visit.. Is it going to be considered as a visa fraud since while getting married I was on a tourist visa...(We can prove bona-fide of this marriage in case we are asked)
what else would you suggest??
In one of the threads Mr. Knowitall says:
The marriage isn't an issue, as such - it's whether she petitions to
adjust her status based on marriage within a time frame that suggests
to the USCIS that she misrepresented the purpose of her visit and
intended to immigrate when she entered the country. If she marries,
leaves, and petitions to reenter on a spouse visa, the fact that she
married while present on a tourist visa isn't a problem as it's not
inconsistent with the purposes of that visa."
