You were so brave to tell them the truth, and you even complained about it.😅 I will just answer their questions as per my itinerary, which I did on my previous visit. Basically, yes, it's connection to head home. Because there's no direct flight from Jamaica to Indonesia. Of course, my partner and I expect to stay a little bit longer. But everything would depend on the CBP officer's decision. Finger crossed 🤞

Understood. I never plan to stay beyond the allowed time given by CBP officer because I don't want to risk my tourist visa and create issues for the spousal visa application. Thank you for your response! That's totally fine for me if they consider the second entry to be the same trip. I will not stay in the US beyond the allowed time. It will take less than six months. Personally, I can't cancel it because the trip has already been booked. Also, I am trying to show gratitude after his family invited me to go on a trip with them.

Hi guys! I really appreciate for all your responses. It helps a lot and convincing that our plan will be alright. Once again, thank you so much ^^

Hi thank you for your response! We were thinking about getting married in my country. But, I don't think we have enough time since he only visit for a week. Just in case our plan will give a bad intention to the immigration, right now we are thinking about the online marriage. Hopefully soon we can decide the best thing for our plan. Congrats for your approval!

Hey, thank you so much for spending your time to write your journey. Your response means a lot for us. It's clearly that marrying someone in the US is acceptable and will go perfectly with our plan. May I know what was your answer to CBP officer when they asked about the purpose of your visit? Did you tell them that you were planning to get married in the US? I was thinking to stay a few months and leave the US for vacation with my partner's family to Jamaica then comeback to the US. Would it be an issue for the second visiting after I stay for months in the US? I am planning to come home after my second visit. Would it be considered as overstaying and misusing my tourist visa?

Hello, thank you for sharing your experience! by your response, it's convincing enough that's my plan will be okay to do. hopefully it went smoothly for you ^^

Hi, thank you for your response. I saw your immigration timeline, and it seems pretty smooth. If you don't mind, I would like to ask some questions regarding it. Did you get married spontaneously? or did you plan to do it way before you came to the US? What was your answer when the CBP officer asked about the purpose of your travel? After you got married, how long did you stay in the US? Did you visit your spouse often while you were in the process of applying for CR1 visa? If yes, how long was the visit??

Hello, I am planning on getting married in the US with a tourist visa. We are planning to apply for a CR1 visa instead of an adjustment of status. How soon can we do the wedding once I enter the US? If nationality matters, I am Indonesian, and my partner is a US citizen. Thank you in advance!
