    Default Marriage on Visa Waiver

    Hi,

    I spent 5 years in the US (from mid 2004 to mid 2009), 2 years under an F1 Visa (I took a Master's degree in the States) and 3 years under an H1B visa working for an investment firm.
    In mid 2009 I left the US. I am a EU Citizen and now I am in London. My question is the following: can I enter the US under a visa waiver program and after a week or so marry a US citizen? I have known and dated her since 2006.
    Would the fact that I spent the past 5 years in the US and that I have known her for quite a long time allow me to marry her under a visa waiver shortly after entering the US??? What to do you think???
    Thanks Much,
    G.

    Default Re: Marriage on Visa Waiver

    Do it the correct way and apply for a fiance visa. It is contrary to the regulations governing the VWP to enter the US with the intent to marry and file for AOS on the basis of that marriage.
