**** Moving from CR-1 to AOS from Tourist visa ****

Are you saying he came a year ago to get married and overstayed his tourist visa? Was that his intention when he entered the USA the last time? Was he asked about his plans at the airport?

**** Moving from CR-1 to AOS from Tourist visa ****

Are you saying he came a year ago to get married and overstayed his tourist visa? Was that his intention when he entered the USA the last time? Was he asked about his plans at the airport?

He came for vacation to see his girlfriend and they ended up marrying. He didn't overstay on the visa, he stayed for 2 weeks only and return to Haiti. Yes they asked him at the airport the reason he came and he answered for vacation. So what can he do? What are the steps?

Oh ok, from where you posted and what you said, it sounded like he is currently in the USA. As he is in Haiti, he cannot change his status but his wife can file for a CR-1 spousal visa for him, the guide is here: http://www.visajourney.com/content/i130guide1 He can use his tourist visa to visit her during the process, but he cannot travel to the USA on the tourist visa and then adjust status, that would be visa fraud.

Is that true? I've heard that they won't let someone in if they are in the process of changing their status, since their working assumption is that people will overstay their visas anyway.

Yes, it is true. It is still up to the border guard if they allow entry or not, so the foreign spouse should bring along proof of ties to home, but having an immigration process under way can actually work to your benefit.
