My fiancee lives in Chile, and we will be getting married next July. I was under the impression we'd have to file for K1, but then a US customs agent at an airport said it was easier to just have him come on a regular tourist visa (without mentioning our intention of getting married), get married, and then file for an adjustment of status. He claims we'll spend less money. Has anyone does this? What are the pros/cons? Any advice/experience is appreciated!
What's stopping us from getting married on a tourist visa?
