Hi!

My husband has his interview for AOS this coming Tuesday.

We never had intent to marry but did marry while he was here on a tourist Visa.

The visa has since expired, but, we married and applied for AOS before it had..

The reason we decided to marry was that we had heard on the news that the fees were going to increase in July of 2007.

Already suffering from the cost of traveling every 3 mos back and forth from Germany we figured the best thing to do would be to marry and then adjust his status...

So we got married 1 week later in a civil ceremony.

He still has his business in Germany and also his daughter is there. We haven't had a chance yet to send his belongings here, he still just has the stuff he came over with in his suitcase..

We did not have any plans to marry prior to hearing about the fee increase...

Does this show intent to marry or consitute any sort of fraud?

Any information would be greatly appreciated...

Thank you..

Hello,

My husband came over on a B1/B2 (tourist/business) visa and overstayed it by over two years. We got married and hired a lawyer to fill out all our forms since we were worried that this would cause a problem. We filed on June 29th, 2007 and filed I-130/I-765/I-485 all together. He received his green card on 12/24/07, 11 days after our interview. I'm not sure if there is a question on the i-485 form asking about intent to marry but he didn't even know me when he came over and i do not know how our lawyer answered that question. I hope that our story encourages you, as we did not have any problems and he came over with no intent to marry!

Good luck with your interview on Tuesday! :thumbs: Usually the question about intent to marry does NOT come up. :no: If it does, just tell the truth. Your husband had no intent to marry when he entered the USA, so there is no fraud in your case. So don't worry.

It might be a good idea to bring evidence proving that he has his business and daughter in Germany. You will probably not have to show it but better safe than sorry. :)
