B2 tourist to AOS permanent resident

[Moralesk12 0]

Hi everyone! My wire and I married in our country of origin on July 3rd this year after planning for one year. We have a 3 year old child. She is a US citizen and I have a B2 visa. She was offered an employment back in the States, we were not planning on moving here but rather this be temporary. We decided that we would communute for awhile, I came with her to help her get settled in but being here we realized that we prefer to stay together as a family and raise our child together. Now we are filling out all the forms but not sure how complicated this process will be for us if I stay here or if I need to go back to my country and file from there? Will there be problemas if I stay with my wife and child? Should we personally take the forms and fees to the office in Charlotte or do it online? Any insight would be helpful and appreciated.

Thanks

So you married abroad and entered the US on a B2, and now planning on filing for AOS within the US?

See the above AOS guide. It should answer most of your queations. Assuming the answer to my previous question is yes- that you came in to the US having been married your USC spouse abroad may become an issue. You may have to go back to file I-130 abroad. Good luck!

Why would that be an issue?

Now it says if the intent was to marry and change status. In our case we were already married and once we came over here my husband liked it so much that he wishes to stay. Does this also constitute fraud? We have a 3 year old. Any advise?

Even as it sounds like there may have been a concealed intent, "INTENT" alone cannot be the basis for denying your application. So if you are going to AOS, AOS but do not expect people to give u a pat on the back on here.

So my husband still has his return ticket back to Costa Rica, should we send a copy of that return ticket with our packet or hold on to it if we are asked for it?

Don't see an issue, the issue is when u enter with intent to marry and stay, secondly once u enter the USA , u are openly allowed to adjust status

I am not sure you will need that. He should keep it.
