There are scores of people in this very forum who have done it. Just be aware of the work and travel restrictions associated with adjustment of status. Follow this guide:

To be honest, you face an uphill battle on several fronts. I have never seen a first meeting waiver granted. @TBoneTX is right. Chances are none. You have a difficult path ahead. Good luck.

The correct question would be "Was I ever admitted as a legal resident ?"

***Moved from the tourist visa forum to off topic***

Sounds like the OP wants a dummy ticket. Personally, I would just pay for a flex ticket as @appleblossom suggested.

No, that would not, in itself, be an issue. Make sure you do NOT file an I-130 with USCIS before exploring the DCF option. Good luck.

Wife said our officer read them verbatim, and it appeared that his computer was randomly choosing them.

You need to look at the form. That IS how you file for a K-3 (along with an I-130). But, as mentioned, you won't get a K-3, but it might prompt USCIS to take action on the I-130.

No....not until she had an EAD or a Green Card. Every couple has their own priorities, and each couple must decide which visa is better for their situation. K-1 More expensive than CR-1 Requires Adjustment of Status after marriage (expensive and requires a lot of paperwork) Spouse can not leave the US until she/he receives approved Advance Parole (approx 3-6 months) Spouse can not work until she/he receives EAD (approx 3-6 months) Some people have had problems with driver licenses, Social Security cards, leases, bank account during this period Spouse will not receive Green Card for many months after Adjustment of Status is filed. A K-1 might be a better choice when 18-21 year old children are immigrating also In some situations, marriage can affect certain Home country benefits, making a K-1 a better choice A denied K-1 is sent back to USCIS to expire K-1 entrant cannot file for citizenship until after having Green Card for 3 years. Once an I-129F has been approved, delaying the case is difficult to impossible if the need arises. Current Presidential executive order (travel bans) don't allow K-1 visa holders from some countries to enter the US. CR-1/IR-1 Less expensive than K-1 No Adjustment of Status(I-485, I-131, I-765) required. Spouse can immediately travel outside the US Spouse is authorized to work immediately upon arrival. Spouse receives Social Security Card and Green Card within 2 or 3 weeks after entering the US Opening a bank account, getting a driver's license, etc. are very easily accomplished with GC, SS card, and passport. Spouse has legal permanent Resident status IMMEDIATELY upon entry to US. The clock for citizenship filing starts immediately upon entry to the US. A CR-1/IR-1 case can be delayed indefinitely at NVC if the need arises. Current Presidential executive order (travel bans) exempt immediate relatives of US citizens.

CBP at the POE does not decide whether you receive a 2 year card or a 10 year card. USCIS makes that determination based on your records. Just wait for the Green Card to arrive. If there is a mistake, then file an I-90.

NVC will not schedule an interview until ALL documents are submitted and approved AND until all fees are paid. Until that is the case, you are fine to log in, etc. Just don't pay the fees. Just remember to email NVC or submit a query asking them to hold your case a year from now. You can do that. For now, you can relax, know that NVC is not going to throw your case out for quite some time.

There are no real risks. Now that your case has been sent to NVC, you can hold it there indefinitely by just emailing them once a year (some people do it more frequently). The least expensive option would be to just don't pay the fees or submit documents to NVC until you know what you want to do. Some people have held their cases there for as long as several years. Good luck in your decision.

***Topic unique to OP split from existing report thread***This separate thread will ensure OP answers are organized***

She cannot work without an Employment Authorization Document (I-765) or until a Green Card is issued. If she leaves the US with a pending I-485 and no Advance Parole (I-131), she will abandon her adjustment of status. In other words, she cannot work or travel outside the US for about 3-6 months....could be longer.

You can file. Just be aware of the travel and work restrictions. Good luck.
