That's visa fraud and a huge reason the rest of us are patiently waiting to bring our loved ones the legal way. You should go back to your home country while the CR1 is processing and wait to be approved like the rest of us.

And how do you figure this? People are allowed to change their mind. The OP has not stated anywhere that their intent was to pursue AOS so we should not jump to conclusions. Besides intent is determined at the POE and a CBP officer determined it when they entered the country.

So is it common for a SPOUSE to suddenly change his/her mind about wanting to AOS?  I'm not making assumptions....just stating why it might look suspicious...

 

EDIT: So is it common for someone who entered the US as a SPOUSE to suddenly change his/her mind about wanting to AOS?  I'm not making assumptions....just stating why it might look suspicious...

The point is unless someone has more than suspicions they should not be accusing others of committing visa fraud. It is perfectly legal  for people to change their minds and pursue AOS.

That is not fraud. We have no idea the reasoning behind the trip to the US or the circumstances that may have caused them to file AOS.

Also immediate relatives of US citizens are exempted from the so called "preconceived intention rule" according to BIA precedents, see the Matter of Battista and the Matter of Cavazos.
