Good day!
In case a filipino gets married to a us citizen what will happen to the filipino? is it ok to file change of status right away or does she/he need to exit USA? if she/he needs to exit, for how long?
thanks

You cannot use the B2 with the intention to get married in the USA AND STAY, that is visa fraud. You can get married in the USA, and can also file the CR-1 spousal visa as soon as the marriage cert is available, ie while the foreigner is still in the USA. But the foreigner can only stay for the 6 months or however long s/he is given on the tourist visa, then go home for the medical and interview.
