    Default F-1 Student Marriage to U.S. Citizen

    If an F-1 visa holder decides to marry a US citizen does he lose his status. Suppose he is not interested in changing his status or applying for citizenship but wishes to continue maintaining an F-1 visa. Would this cause problems for him entering the US in future. In other words if an alien marries a US citizen, does it become almost impossible to enter on a temporary visa (tourist, business - not work) since the assumption is that he is a candidate for permanent residency. Will he become illegal if already in the US and subject to deportation? Any suggestions for a solution would be welcome?

    No.

    Intent could become an issue at future border crossings, so the immigrant should be prepared to document his lack of intention to immigrate to the U.S., and his strong ties to his nation of origin, every time he enters the U.S. If the immigration officer decides that he has intent to immigrate when he attempts to enter on a non-immigrant visa, he could be turned back.
