    Default Marriage While on an M1 Visa

    Hi :-)!
    I have a M1 visum and me and my boyfriend (us-citizen) want to marry. Am i able to adjust status to an immigrant? Or do i have to go home first and apply for a K1 Visum?
    And what is the difference between an F1 visum and a M1 visum?
    thanks

    An M1 visa is for vocational or non-academic studies. An F1 visa is for academic studies.

    Lots of students marry U.S. citizens and successfully adjust their status. However, as I know absolutely nothing about your situation other than that you have an M1 visa, I have no way of predicting what will happen in your case.

    Thanks for responding. Well, there is nothing "special" to know about my situation. I study Massagetherapy in California (Bodyworker) and i just want to know if there are problems adjusting my status from a M1 visum to a conditional greencard, or if i have to go home first and then come back and apply for a K-Visum first.
    I know that you can adjust status when you have a F1 visum, but a M1 seems to have a few restrictions (you canīüt adjust to a F1 visum, you canīt apply for a work visum if your work is related to the studies you came fore) so i want to know if marriage is also forbidden and i have to go home first (which i do not want to do...:-().
    So, what specifically are the differences between M1 and F1 (except the few i pointed out already). I googled the whole internet and i found absolutely nothing....:-(
