Hey everyone! So my fiancé and I are wanting to get married (civil ceremony) soon in order to start the green card process for him. I am a US Citizen and he is an EU Citizen. My question is: Is it possible for him to come to America on a tourist visa and get married without the intention to stay?  I know that first reading this it is an automatic N-O, however, he has other responsibilities to take care of such as finishing school and paying for his car as well as his landlord, plus I can stay and start the green card process. I'm wondering if anyone has gone through this and has any tips or advice about taking this route. Of course, we don't want to risk not being able to apply for a green card but we weren't planning on applying for one until 1-2 years down the road. We just want to see if it is a way :) Thanks!

Is he eligible to use the VWP

 

Does he have a tourist visa?

 

Basically either allow you to marry and leave

Not on here, it is against the VJ ToS.

Yes, many people want to do that because it is easier but it basically screws the people behind you that need/want to get a tourist visa.
