Once you have your GC you can stay. That is unless there is proof of fraud.

Well I've seen it all now 😲

 

Surely at this stage of your relationship you should be seeing only the good times ahead & not planning life after divorce?

 

In answer to your question, once you have a green card and can verify the marriage was entered into in good faith then there is no reason you would be deported.

I think it is a good question - why move to another country and not think of the possible consequences.  

 

NOvvA: if possible, get married and file for a spousal visa; it allows you to get a green card as soon as you get to the USA.  This has multiple benefits: you are able to work right away, the total cost to file is lower, and you have a green card if things do not work out later on with your spouse. 

 

With a K1, if you are unable to adjust status for whatever reason, then you might have to leave if things go sour.

I'm sorry what do you mean by that? I guess you can always return to your home country if things didn't do work out and you end up by yourself in another country.

There is nothing wrong with being a realist. Stuff happens, just because a person looks into all their options does not mean there is any fraud. 

 

I looked into everything, there was no fraudulent thoughts. Just making sure before I sold my house moved my kids that once we started a life down here it wasn't going to get ripped away.
