Well, we applied for the K1 while I was in the US on a B2 Visa. I then applied for an extension of that B2 Visa once my 6 months was up and got another 6 months. My interview for my K1 is due in London on February 1st so we will be flying back to England together!!!

Therefore, it is totally legal to go through the whole process, from start to finish, on a B2 Visa!!

Now the B1 Visa is a tourist Visa for Business, so I am not sure about that one...but I'll tell you now, I was told, unequivocally, at my poe "DO NOT GET MARRIED WHILST HERE ON THE B2 VISA"!!! I took that as a warning that there may be consequences if I disobeyed!! :bonk:

Anyway...whatever you decide to do, I hope it all works out!!

Regards

The majority of adjustments are from Visa's other than the K Visa.

If you marry and adjust now it will be say 4 months before you can leave. If that is OK then go for it. A K is an entry visa for someone with immigrant intent, you doid not need it as you had no immigrant intent at the time.

Hi suga_78,

Welcome to vj. Good luck on your immigration journey. From personal experience, arriving in the USA on B2 visa, getting married, and then applying for an AOS is legal to do. This is provided if you DID NOT come into the USA with the intention of immigration fraud by getting married here in the USA. The AOS this way worked for me (as I got my AOS approved/green card), but I can't say that it will work for everyone else, as every situation is different.

My best advice to you and to anyone else: Hire a good immigration lawyer.
