Hi Everyone, it's me again and I really do appreciate everything that this site has done so far and also its members. :D

I am currently in the US, this is my 3rd time with a visitor visa.. during my second visit, I met my soon to be husband. :) After one date we totally hit it off and became inseparable so what my 3 month visit I extended it to 6 months.. after that, I went home and we continued to communicate every single day. After 6 months again, I came back here to see him and my familly and I stay at his place now. He then asked me to marry him 4 months in my stay here, so I said yes and we reviewed the pros and cons of K1 and CR1 and decided to just get married here and then I'll go home and then file the application.

Does that sound like a red flag? I am 29 and he is 33. We are getting married through a simple courthouse.. nothing big as we just want it formalized before I leave and the celebrations maybe later when we are both here again and stable.

For the I-I30, I am thinking of putting in:

1. affidavits from his parents, my sister and her wife (my sister lives here and has been living here for more than 3 years/working as a doctor).,

2. Facebook chat logs of everyday since we met last 2013 til present, skype chat logs of almost everyday calls,

3. a few pictures of us being a couple, some civil marriage photos (which won't be a typical looking wedding as to some), and some photos after we get married.

4. A wedding invitation of my husband's cousin with my name on it

5. Marriage certificate

6. The typical requirements like the forms.

7. Even included the site and email accounts where we first talked. (It was on OkCupid)

8. My e-tickets/boarding passes during my flight 2013 and 2014.

What are my chances of having it denied? I'm kind of worried this might not be enough evidence. I'm trying to look for other evidences of a bonafide relationship but so far since we will just be married for a few weeks we don't have joint accounts and other documents married couples have.

Also, I won't be changing my last name til I actually get here in the US again as it's more paperwork for me causing more delays. Is that alright too?

I appreciate the help :) have a good day!

Follow the guide: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?autocom=custom&page=i130guide2

USCIS understands that newlyweds do not always have a mountain of proof of a bona fide marriage. I think you would be fine with what you have.

That's plenty of evidence, you will be fine. Our petition was approved with much less and that was after a K1 denial. Also the fact that you got married here doesn't count as a red flag.

Also since your circumstances changed after you entered, you may qualify for AOS. You don't have to apply for a visa abroad.

It just depends on what you said at POE meaning you didn't say anything that can be construed as misrepresentation. Since your boyfriend asked you to marry him 4 months after you came this is considered a change in circumstances.

So it's up to you what path to take. You can see weigh the pros and cons of each.

This does not constitute legal advice.
