Procedure after getting married

[Jerymar 0]

My fiance and i are thinking to get married in 5 days and i came here in a B2 (turist visa) we have being together for almost 3 years ( distance relationship) when i enter i never though that we would be gettig married, we basically don't want to travel back and forth, we wanna be together,  my visa stamp expired in 10 days, that would be an issue Such a short time between our marriagr down in the city hall and the day i should depart? 

 

Can i stay and make an adjustment of status aftee we get married?

 

Many thanks for ur answers

Do you mean to say your visa will expire in 10 days, but you plan to get married in 5 days? 

 

You can stay and do adjustment of status from your B2 to permanent resident, but are you ready for that? Cost is one thing to consider, but what about your life back in your home country? This process could take 6 months to a year generally speaking. Do you not have any business to wrap up? A job to quit? Documents to secure/grab? You cannot return to your home country without at least obtaining an Advanced Parole document, which may take at least 3 months, if not more depending on your case. You cannot work here without an EAD, which will take generally 3 months. Can your future spouse support you until then and then some? What evidence of bona fide marriage would you have if you kept coming and visiting on a visitor's visa? Are you confident that between now and the interview date you'd be able to arrange all of this? 

 

It's not impossible, but it's not a light decision to make. Why not take a look at the I-130/I-485/I-131/I-766/I-864 documents you have to submit on the USCIS.gov website first? Read through the required evidence and supporting documents that need to be submitted with your application so you know what you are planning to get yourself into.

Thanks so much Cadence,

 

I know its not a light decision, i left everything ready at home bc i came for college hunting too, and by the moment i'm not working, we were even thinking in the fiance visa at first but then we though why not just go to the city hall andget married and leave the big ceremony for later on, like in a few mothns

 

And yeah we are planning to go the City hall in the next week and my Admision Stamp expired on the 20th of January, so that is why i was wondering if i could do the Adjustment Status!

 

Many thanks for ur help and sure i'll be checking those forms, i think i got a lot of those documents already!

I meant I-765, not I-766. Slip of the finger!

 

I also came on a B2 visa then switched to an F-2. Been in the U.S. ever since until I got married and adjusted status recently. If you have questions, hit me up. I can try to share what I can of my own process and experiences.
