The burden is not on you to prove that you entered the US without the intent to adjust status.
If you would like to adjust status in the US, you can go ahead and get married and file the paperwork. Just know that you won't be able to leave the US/work when your petition is pending until you receive the EAD/AP authorization.
If you need to go back home for any reason, it's best to continue with the CR1 visa.

If you plan on doing so, just make sure you let the CBP officer know you want to adjust status.

They can help you very good, and will gave great advice. Your adjustment will be very successful.

You don’t need to have places of birth of your parents on your birth certificate. Only their names. Your birth certificate is what it is. Every country is different. There’s no requirement on what a birth certificate has to have in order to be valid. 

You are thinking of committing visa fraud. Do not do this.
 
This is not the only difference. Be very careful when reading about other people's circumstances and relating them to your own. Many times, there are key differences that you may not be aware of.
You are permitted to AOS after entry via an ESTA. You are NOT permitted to enter the US with intent to do so. This is a massive difference.

One more thing-  It has been stated that this site is monitored by USCIS.  In addition, the moderators of this site have zero tolerance for anyone even remotely discussing visa/immigration fraud as you did in the original post.
 
EDIT:  Misrepresentation when entering the US can result in big, big problems.

Entering the US via ESTA or a non-immigrant visa with the intent to Adjust Status is not allowed.  It is fraud.....and it can result in severe consequences as stated in this article:
 
https://www.soundimmigration.com/can-i-enter-on-a-visitors-visa-b-2-and-then-adjust-status-to-permanent-resident/

It's illegal to enter the US on the Visa Waiver Program with the intent to remain and adjust status.
 
Terrible idea. More so by the fact you already have documented immigrant intent by the fact you're already married and have a pending petition!
 
Put your head in front of your heart and wait it out. It will likely be not much longer. 

No taxation differences between a USC and a LPR.  Big differences if the person is a Non resident alien

Why is being a PR different?

That's 2 different issues: losing a green card vs being ineligible for naturalization due to breaking continuous residence
Technically you can travel over 1 year without losing your LPR status, but it does set a presumption of having abandoned residency.

No, unless they obtained their green card through VAWA, or their RoC through a battery and cruelty waiver. In those two cases and those two cases only, you can apply for naturalisation after three years of being an LPR without being married to a US citizen spouse.

Well maybe I worded that wrong, you can leave for longer than 6 but I think a lot of people don't realize how it affects becoming a citizen.

I applied for citizenship based on 5 year rule. I had my interview on Mar. 10th at 101 Congress Pkwy. After the interview, I was given n a notice with decision yet to be made. After three weeks, I received email notification that Oath is scheduled and I had my Oath on Apr. 13th in the same building where I was interviewed. I didn't have a name change . So, it was an Administrative Oath service. My Oath was scheduled at 9 am. I reached the building by 8:30am. After clearing security checks , I went to the third floor. With me, I carried Oath ceremony letter and Green Card. I had filled the back of the oath ceremony letter the previous night. The room started to get crowded close to 9. People who were attending oath were asked to sit in the middle area and their friends and family were asked to sit on sides. IO officers were asking to fill back of the oath form and were asking whether anyone is accompanied by interpreter. I wish they said the instructions through micro-phone. Most of their instructions were unable to be heard by people who were seated at back. Then around 9:15 they allowed one row at a time to enter the auditorium. Before entering the auditorium they checked whether back of the form is filled and asked to show the Green Card. I didn't have changes since my interview. So , I moved in the line. I’m not sure whether they cross verified details for people who had changes since interview. Right before entering the auditorium an IO crossed the back of the form with red pen. Staffs at the desk collected green card and gave a token to seats. On each seat there was a package which had a letter from President, Oath of Allegiance, national Anthem, folder to keep Naturalization certificate, passport application form and voter's guide.
After that, family and friends were asked to enter the auditorium. It was a small auditorium and I felt congested. Around 9:45 the ceremony started. I was expecting a judge but someone who introduced himself as supervisor at immigration service conducted the ceremony. A small video about US was shown. Then everyone was asked to stand up for National Anthem . Then in alphabetical order he called names of the countries and asked people who belonged to that country to stand up. After that, he asked everyone to raise their right hand and asked to follow as he read Oath Of Allegiance and Pledge Of Allegiance. Then he congratulated everyone and a small video message from Obama was played. Another small video about America was played and they asked people from each row one after the other to come and collect their certificate. Finally, he asked to apply for passport and update Social Security Administration. Photos were allowed to be taken inside the auditorium but not outside. While coming out, they were handing out voter's registration form. The ceremony was done by 10:30.
Couple of things about the certificate. Make sure all your information are correct. They had the picture taken during bio-metrics in the certificate. For people who care about how they look, please make sure you are photo ready while going for bio-metrics.
I am happy that I am done with USCIS and I would like to thank all VSJ fellow members whose posts have helped me through every step in this process.

Hey Folks!!
 
It's been a while since I posted on this thread. Something came up unprecedented. 
 
Anyhow, I had my interview today, 12/20/2017. The interview lasted in less than 15 minutes. I passed and did my oath all at the same day.. 
 
I received my naturalization certificate.
 
I am officially a US citizen!!!!!
 
 
 
 

Hi, Chicago filers!
 
My wife was among those interviewed today. She passed! She was extremely nervous, but it was an overall good experience. Our only major complaint was that, in Chicago, there are two doors out of which the IO's come out and call interviewees numbers. We weren't told whether to sit by Door 1 or Door 2 when my wife checked in, so I sat by Door 2, and she sat by Door 1. Also, the numbers seemed to be called pretty randomly, and there was no screen saying what number was next (like at the DMV).
 
Still, things went well, and we only waited 15 min from her scheduled interview time. A full review is here: http://www.visajourney.com/reviews/view-dos-cis-reviews.php?entry=22995
 
My wife was told that the oath ceremony would be within the next 60 days. 
 
Good luck, everyone!

I really hope it’s going to happen soon for both of us. This is exhausting!  
 
How was everyone else’s experience???? TommyBahammas, cereamoni....(can never remember how to spell it correctly🙈)
 

Good luck to all of us!!!

Good to see so many Chicago filers getting ready for Oath ceremony tomorrow? Exciting!

Chicago filers, I offer to meet up Tuesday after work and celebrate  all together ??? Seems like almost all of us are scheduled for the same day (12/19). Message me if you are interested I am easy to organize things like this. ✌🏻 
I hope to see some of you in the waiting room since we are scheduled for the same time. Go Chi!

Woohoo! My interview was finally scheduled. Just received a case update this morning. Still waiting to see the interview letter to show up on my ELIS account to know the exact date. Will keep you all posted for further updates. 

Just use your passport. No need to pay 2 grand to a lawyer for something you can do yourself. 

Hi all,
 
My paper application was received March 30th and my priority date is April 7th (inline for interviews April 27th). I just received a  notification tonight that my interview has been scheduled.

No there is, it's just expensive. $555

That's certainly not true either: https://www.uscis.gov/n-565

Oath ceremony completed and now I am USA CITIZEN.
