redskins47chaos got a reaction from Teddy B in Applying for adjustment of status while visiting hubby in the States.
While you're mostly right about this, if you enter the US on the VWP and tell a CBP officer you plan on adjusting status, you will be turned away! You can get away with it if they dont ask....again, high risk, high reward. If what you said was 100% right, there would not be immigrant visas.

I completely understand where you're coming from. I'm not saying you're trying to do it the "wrong way" in the slightest...in fact it is not the wrong way at all, just not the "prefered" way. It is usually frowned upon among Visa filers just because it is very upseting to see people given a "free pass" just because they didn't know the rule but the fact is, it is perfectly legal to file for AOS in the US if you are married to a USC and did NOT intend to file when entering the USA. If you can prove that, then you're good to go.

How? The whole controversy about Adjusting Status after entering a non-immigrant visa is whether or not you can prove you did not intend to immigrate when entenring the country. That's what the "rule" says at least.

redskins47chaos got a reaction from Stu4Lee in January I-129F filers
If only I had known...I would've gotten married in the US after two months and applied for AOS! I would've been with my honey the whole time. But this is what we get for doing things the "right" way. Waiting 5 months just to be approved is ridiculous...I wouldn't mind it so much if it was the end of the process but it's not.
