Hello everyone,
my situation:
i came to the US on an esta about 6 weeks ago to visit my boyfriend (usc) of a few months (long distance). I originally planned on staying here with him for 8 weeks to spend time with him. As my departure date came closer my boyfriend proposed to me and we decided we want to get married while I’m here as we both are really in love and both can’t imagine going back to long distance again. We didn’t plan on going this route when I originally came in but we both realized we don’t want to live without each other. I’ve read that we could get married and then file for AOS. My fiancé is a USC. Now my questions:
1. when is the best time to actually marry? After the 90 days or before? I read online that getting married within the 90 days would be suspicious and that there is a 90 day rule in place? There is many contradicting information on the actual best time to get married while on an esta
2. at Port of Entry I got admitted into the country on an esta for 8 weeks ( my originally intended time of stay ) - now if we get married on day 43, and file for AOS on day 95 - will I be subject to deportation in the meantime because then technically I’m in the country illegal for the time being between marriage and filing AOS?
3. as i originally came into the country for pleasure but in a relationship with my boyfriend at the time obviously already, how can I proof at the interview that yes we have been together, but didn’t plan on actually getting married when I came Into the country but later on just realized we didn’t want to live without each other any longer? There’s no significant change of life circumstances, we just decided to get married while I was here. Will that be a problem / red flag?
4. my fiancé was married before and has been legally divorced for 1 1/2 years now. His ex wife was from
germany too and he unter went the same procedure 7 years ago already. Will that be a red flag or give us any problems? We won’t have any problems proving that our marriage is bonafide as we really love each other and had been in a relationship for months now. I guess my fiancé just likes Germans 😃😃 lol.
what do you guys think? Is there anything we can do wrong ? We are not married yet and I just want to make sure we’re doing everything right and not making any major mistakes .
Thank you for your help!
