That's an interesting speculation, although there's no evidence to verify it.

It also would be unusual if it were an issue and we have exactly 0 people reporting about it...given that far more obscure and complex cases are seen on this and other immigration websites fairly often. Presumably those cases also wouldn't be seen, or there are far more common than people doing AOS based on a student, work, or tourist visa...

And if there were potential issues and seeing how common this is why are they not reported?

Maybe because the people who had problems went and get lawyers who actually went to law school and  are licensed to practice laws?

Another reason might be because there were no problems at all?

Well, never thought that an advice to consult an immigration attorney would lead to this sort of chastisement.

 

Ok, OP, do NOT consult an immigration attorney. Just do whatever you want. What do I care...

Attorneys are very expensive, so, yes, it's bad advice to tell someone to consult an attorney when they don't need one.

Well there must be tens of thousand if not hundreds of thousands  and you would have thought one or two may have made it to through the VJ portal.

We didnt know about the 90 day rule for getting married, we found this website after we got married..the good thing is that i arrived to the US on May 14th and we got married august 11th, which is exactly 90 days (if im counting right).

The other good thing is that, like I said on my first post, i did come here to see my (then) Fiancee but first i arrived to Orlando FL, where i have family  (i have visited my family in previous trips) to see them too and then my fiancee and i went to Indiana (which is the state where he and his family lives).

We were thinking about consulting a lawyer but they are pretty expensive so for now i think we will just finish filling out the forms and send them as soon as we can.

Thank you everyone for taking the time to reply! we really apreciate it!

But please remember that the time you put into this would probably be equivalent to the money you pay the lawyer lol. 
Be immaculate..read all the instruction, for each question. Answer every question fully before you jump to next. Read, re-read your forms. 
Make sure all the attachments are there for EACH form. Be extremely careful and you will be fine. 

Best of luck!

Disregard the info on this thread regarding the "90 day rule"---it is not relevant to the AOS in your case, as outlined by myself and other members in this thread.

Most lawyers like to put fear in potential clients, no matter how straightforward a case appears to be (or actually is)....this is how they get you to hire them.

If you do go for a consultation, research free ones.

 

Over half of us here have done the AOS (and ROC and N400) without the assistance of a lawyer---If you have questions on how to put together your evidence/fill out the forms, this forum is a good place to ask them, and we're free. ;)
