She can come as a Tourist, marry and leave.

I thought it was fraud if someone was to get a tourist visa with the intention to marry as soon as they came to the United States? Or is there a way around this?

It's not fraud to come to the US to marry. 

 

It's fraud to come to the US with a tourist visa with the intention of staying. 

 

As long as she leaves afterwards it's fine. 

 

I married on a tourist visa (well, ESTA), returned home and was petitioned for the CR1. 

 

Good luck

thats not how any of this works.

 

IF she can get a tourist visa, she can come here and marry you, stay the duration of her visa, and go back and wait out the process until approval.

 

or when you can travel you can go over there and marry or meet to fulfill the meeting requirements for a K1 and then file.

 

those are your options.

 

there is no 'come and stay and get to know each other for 2-3 years' visa.

i 485, 130, EAD and AP
