How should I process ????? I really need your help

i am just trying to understand why some people do it and get it without trouble.

Hi,

There are two issues. 1) Conflicting laws. 2) VisaJourney's TOS.

1. It's illegal to enter the US with the intent to immigrate on a non-immigrant visa or a visa-less route (Canadian, VWP, etc.) It's a VJ's TOS violation to help someone who is OUTSIDE the US who wants help planning to do this. VJ will shut down this discussion.

2. Under case laws, USCIS can not deny the AOS of an Immediate Relative of a USC. So, while it is illegal to enter the US with the preconceived intent to immigrate, it's a non-issue once the person passes the POE and seeks to adjust. It's not a VJ's TOS violation to help someone who is INSIDE the US who wants to adjust after entering the US on a non-immigrant visa or a visa-less route. No one is giving advice to PLAN coming illegally. Now, the advice is solely on adjusting legally.

Two issues which causes problems and confusion on VJ. Why we can discuss the issue sometimes and other times, we can not because of VJ's TOS.

It's not allowed to enter the US under the VWP or a tourist visa with the intent to marry and stay. That said, obviously a lot of people do it with the excuse that they weren't planning on getting married when the spouse was over to visit for a month, it just happened.... I'll keep my opinion about that to myself. But that is how your fiance's friends were able to do that, they either told the CBP office that they were just coming to visit or that they were coming to marry and then travel back home. It's perfectly fine to enter the US under the VWP or a tourist visa with the intent to marry IF you are planning on returning home afterwards. Lots of people do that.

Options for you are either apply for a K-1 visa, which I hear takes about six months, then enter the US, marry and adjust or....

Enter as a tourist, get married, return to your home country and apply for CR-1 visa, which takes about a year.

Thank you very much for your help.

I know somebody who was staying in US why no status. She married then her husband applied for her and she got her GC in 2 months !!! i really do not know what exactly she did to get it so fast without any troubles.

I have a friend here in Canada who are in the situation. She asked to the officer what to do and he told her wrong information. come, get married in US! crazy !!!

My intention is to apply for CR1 visa, i think it is the best option for me. it will be hard to wait another year but i can do it!

So my plan is to visit my fiance, get married and go back to Canada, apply from Canada.

My big question is : should i say to the officer i am coming to visit my fiance, get married and go back to Canada or i should not say anything about marriage. i will stay like only 1 week. Officers are so strong and not friendly at all. i do not want to have problems. I almost sure they will give me trouble.

I am french citizenship, I have living for 2 years in Canada with work permit. my application will be processed in Canada (consulat in Montreal where I have living) or in France ?????

Other question just for my comprehension:

Why i read everywhere people who arrive in US, wait and get married after 90 days after arrived in US. These persons do not have problems ???? for me it does not make any sense !

Thanks in advance

Sounds like yu still do not understand the legalities and my guess is that you only have a limited knowledge of what the people you know did. Devil is in the details.

I have just reported what i read.

I am here for getting the right information and trying to understand.

Do not judge.

I am sorry for the misunderstanding.

OP, it's not your misunderstanding.

Those people you know who entered the US planning to marry and stay committed fraud, but the system is broken as it allows such things.

The law permits people who have genuinely entered the US as visitors to adjust their status if they have a 'spur of the moment' change of mind and decide to marry.

This system is regularly abused by people who enter the US intending to stay and lying to the Border officers to let them pass.

The correct route for you should be either a K1 or CR1 visa, just because you know people who have obtained their greencards fraudulently does not make it right.

Good luck with whichever proper visa path you take.
