Hello,
I want to marry a girl who is a legal immigrant but is not yet a resident or citizen. She came on a tourist visa that was subsequently renewed, and is currently awaiting an answer on a political asylum request. I am not sure if I am allowed to make a petition for her to stay after we get married, or if we should just wait to hear the answer on her asylum appeal. I am concerned about what I have read about her possibly having to leave the country first and apply for fiance status because her life is in danger there (hence the asylum request). I don't know if we get married if I could then apply for her to stay as a "family member". Also, I'm not sure if we would be able to get permission to leave the country for a week for a honeymoon. Any advice would be appreciated
