Married,left country, now AOS

[nitrous_guy 23]

A friend of mine, recently got married in the US to a US citizen.

He left the country, to go back to his home country to apply for IR1, spouse fell sick before he began the process, he travelled back to the USA.

His spouse has now asked him to stay with her. He doesnt want to leave her at all.

Is AOS a possibility in this case?

He comes from a VWP country.

Thanks

I'd be concerned about intent when he entered the country. Someone coming back to the US to stay with a spouse they previously married could seem a bit suspicious to the interviewing officer, or even someone looking at the submitted paperwork. I'd be leery about filing for it myself.

No iintent whatsoever.

Having a read of this thread:

What you described is perfectly legaI. Although many folks here like to warn of fraud and intent, I have yet to hear of any case where someone who was in a legitimate relationship and married to a USC was denied because of "intent"

Yes you can totally do it, don't be frightened off by people on here you like to call you a fraudster etc etc. You had no intent when you entered and to be honest after going to an info pass appointment it sounds like immigration officials couldn't care less if you have intent to stay or not. Do it and look after your spouse. Happy New Year.
