Greetings everyone.

I am a European citizen. I came to the US in December 29th 2011 and i got married to my wife in January 6th 2012.

I came with Visa Wayver (ESTA)

We are filing papers now for my green card and i have 2 questions.

I do not have the Arrival/Departure Record (I-94)

What should i do?

Thank you in advance.

When you arrive on VWP you never get the I-94, everything is stored electronic since you did the esta app. You can probably write visa waiver and maybe make a copy of your stamped passport.

No what she means is, did you plan to get married on this trip prior to your arrival? or was it done without planning?

Sorry just trying to give you a heads up, cause planning to adjust on VWP is considered fraud, but if you think that does not apply to you just everyone else than good luck!

Should realize the difference: it is not illegal to come on a VWP and get married, but it IS illegal to come on a VWP with an intent to get married and stay in the USA. Obama did nothing to change that law! Basically, people who come on a VWP with an intent of getting married need to go back to their home country and apply for a spousal visa. I think you may have a difficult time convincing USCIS that you had no intent of marrying (since you married a month after coming here) and staying on, but, you wouldn't be the first to fall through the cracks if you do!

I am sorry, I didn't mean to accuse you of fraud at all, but I am simply saying that that's how USCIS will see things.
