*** One post removed for TOS violation. Suggesting a specific fraudulent option, then saying that option is a violation of the TOS does not make it OK. It is still putting that fraudulent option "out there", which someone can use to move forward with committing fraud. The OP has been informed of his actions and must come to terms with the consequences. Any further advice should remain from a legal and procedural standpoint. VJ Moderation

Some excellent points being brought up in this thread. But one thing I want to point out. There is nothing wrong with having said emotions that are mentioned in this thread. Whether it is anger, frustration, or jealousy; emotions are a natural thing. There have even been studies that showed some animals displaying those emotions. Emotions are natural, but it is what we do with them that makes a difference. Some take emotions to the extreme by breaking laws or hurting others. Others use it as motivation for change. I'm quite sure everybody have had someone come to them simply to vent. Everybody should have an method to deal with their emotions. OP started to topic to vent which resulted in some good back and forth.

I think the frustration comes more from it giving an advantage to a few and not the many. If you see those who are able to take advantage of being able to AOS from NIV, there aren't that many. But you have a ton of others who have to wait and be separated from their loved ones. I see the value in being able to AOS if there is a change of circumstances like a surprise pregnancy when visiting on a B1. But then there is the theory that if one did not have a B2 to begin with, the pregnancy may not have happened. Hence, no need for AOS.

I agree to have him join this site or show how this thread. He is really putting himself at a disadvantage by not researching how this process happens. A job interview??? Seriously??? If you want you can have him PM directly if he wants to know what happens during the interview because I did the K1 for my now wife and I was standing right next to her during the entire interview. Also, being Canadian, you should look into the spousal visa as the K1 has huge disadvantages.
