Myopia

I would like to ask that everyone consider the fact that family concerns for safety are a sensitive issue and not something to be joked about. Thank you.

jason_do I find your comments extremely disrespectful. If you have nothing useful to say then refrain from saying anything at all.

Jason, your comments are extremely rude and insensitive. i have no idea how any of this immigration stuff works, and as a wife i am extremely worried about my husband. this is a forum to discuss and ask questions, as i am clueless. it should be understandable if i know nothing, and i dont know where to turn to ask it here... you never know anything until you ask... think before you say things

I bet the wife was the petitioner. lol

You may have a problem proving that you didnt use the Visa Waiver Program to immigrate to the USA.
30-60-90 rule
Generally most wait and "spontaneously" decide to get married. You got married on day 2. You were still jet lagged when you went to get your license. This is a problem.
You also did all the paperwork already so its fairly obvious you knew you were going to try to circumvent the immigration rules.
I live in a glass house so Im not trying to throw stones. Just letting you know what it looks like.
I believe the best course of action would be to enjoy your honeymoon here in the USA and go back to Australia and file the CR1 Visa.
I know you dont want to hear that and you will probably speak to a lawyer who will say he can help you after asking for a nice deposit but its not looking good.
What did the Immigration ask you when you came through immigration? And what did you respond?
It just looks fishy.

Say: The truth is from your Lord' Let him who will, believe, and let him who will, reject it. [Qur'an 18:29]
Let there be no compulsion in religion. [Qur'an 2:256]
The Quran teaches me that you are free to believe whatever you want; in fact, God has planned it that way, and He is the Best of Planners. It's just notable that, on this board, those who dislike religion insult and insist that everyone else think like them, while those who believe rarely comment on your lack of faith.
Relax. Why be oppressive toward the religious? If I am unable to change your mind to think like mine, and I find that acceptable, can you accept that you are unable to change mine, as well? It is as it should be.

It's ironic to read some of these posts. You would think that anyone of you have actually been to the UK which I doubt. If you had then you would know that anti immigrant sentiment among the native British population(And when I say Native I mean white) has been ongoing for decades.
Muslims are just the new buzz word for anti immigrant thought. The British spent a lot of time invading other peoples lands and colonizing their natives. The British had no problem reaping the benefits from pillaging those lands and there was no dissension from the British public for it because all was kept at arms length.
The legendary stiff upper lip would have no need to quiver if harm was done to others in other lands in the name of the Crown or as its known the "Commonwealth". The majority of immigrants that are NON EU immigrants come from former Commonwealth countries. Pakistan and India of course; Uganda and many other places whose citizens immigrate or at least try to immigrate to the UK.
This is not a new phenomenon. What is new is the idea that Islam is in some way going to change Britain as it is today.
These kinds of faux polls are only published to fan the flames of mistrust in the UK. Muslims are here to stay no matter where you live so rather than scare yourselves , it just seems more prudent to educate yourself as to what Islam actually is. Islam wasn't spread by the sword. It was spread by Knowledge. It would do us all so well to attain some.

Hey there
Welcome to the site. You are going to find a wealth of information here which can be overwhelming to say the least.
The first thing that you need to decide is whether to file the Adjustment of Status (AOS) in the US or not. Yes, You are able to adjust without leaving the country whilst you are still IN STATUS and generally speaking as long as you file when you are still IN STATUS there is a good presumption that you will be able to adjust without any further issue from UCIS. The key point for you is to file whilst you are still In Status.
What does this mean for you?
It means that if you are still within the 90 days of your lawful non immigrant stay in the USA then you should be able to adjust.
Just to give you a brief background on the situation that you are in; It has always been possible to adjust to permanent resident status from within the US when one entered on a regular visa (One where you needed to interview at an embassy for). It has always been possible to adjust from entrance on the Visa Waiver Program. Years ago the advise was to adjust AFTER the 90 days had lapsed so as to avoid the presumption that the whole thing was intentional. Recently the consensous has been to adjust whilst in Status because of some rulings that reemphasized the fact that those who enter on the Visa Waiver Program do not have the right to appeal a visa denial because they waived all rights of appeal when they signed the VWP form (or ESTA)
This means if you file and the Immigration Officer denies your application...you will have to depart the USA and probably incur a ban. If this should happen you would have to apply from outside of the USA in order to attain permanent resident visa WITH the additional problem for filing a waiver to overcome the deportation ban.
Are you with me? Hope so!
So to answer your questions
1. No you will not be banned forever but you would have to leave with no right to appeal the IO's decision. You would have to file the regular CR1 visa in your home country along with a waiver for the ban that you may have incurred.
2. When your 90 day lawful stay runs out then you fall into unlawful stay. There are 180 days that you are allowed to accrue unlawfully before you incur the 5 year ban however you need to leave before that happens. If you leave after you will have that ban. Basically if you overstayed by up to six months and left of your own free will then you would not incur the six month ban but you would also not be able to use the visa waiver program again.
If you were apprehended by Immigration and Customs Enforcement(ICE) within this unlawful time and deported then you would receive an automatic 10 year ban. The clock is usually suspended for those who came on a Visa whilst their application is being decided. I do not believe that is the case for those on the Visa Waiver Program (Someone correct me as Im probably wrong about that)
3. At an interview you would have to establish the proof of a bona fide marriage. This is true. The photos and old lease that you have would probably serve you well if you were to leave the USA and file for the CR1 from your home country because it establishes a real relationship. However within the US once married you would be able to show your relationship with bonafide with the same things. You would be able to get notarized letters from family and friends that would testify that you were in a marriage etc. Joint gym memberships etc. There are a lot of things that you can do to prove that.
4. You would be better off with someone sponsoring you. You would have to have a lot of money in the bank to use as assets.
5. As far as I know you can file the CR1 and visit her over time. Some members have done so.
I tried to be as concise as I could before this thread gets filled with opinions, warnings and things that will make you feel more nervous than necessary.
The most important thing you need to decide is whether to file before the 90 days expired. This means getting the medical done, all forms filled, application costs everything needs to be filed within the 90 days and accepted by the UCIS before the 90 days so as to be on the safe side.
As I said there are those who filed after the 90 days and were approved but there were those who filed after and were denied.
Some immigration offices are flat denying all VWP adjustment applications who filed after the 90 days.
On edit I saw your other questions: At this point you are fine and you will not be banned for marrying within the 90 days and as I said in my answer above you do have proof of marriage, just as long as you have a sponser in the US you will be ok.
My answer is based on a ridiculous amount of time researching this because I am an overstayer. If I was able to go back within my 90 days, I would have left the US and filed from my home country. Its just too much stress and anxiety being out of status in this climate and even though I love my husband to pieces..I could handle a few months away from him if it meant I could have been here without any fear of some disgruntled friend or neighbor calling ICE to pick me up.
Make a decision fast but make sure it is the right one for you. I mean that.
Best of everything.

It is a fact that adultery in Islam is punishable by stoning. This is something that every Muslim knows and by virtue of belief in Islam accepts. The process for proving adultery is not as easy as it seems. Four witnesses have to physically see the actual act with their eyes. They have to be truthful people and known to be truthful. This is Islamic law. Its clear that in practice it would be very hard for adultery to be proven unless a) the couple were intimate in the street or b) either party confesses freely.
In these countries that claim to follow the shariah there are always glaring problems with the execution of the punishments. Either there is no real proof or its just hear say so women are killed unjustly. Islam isn't unjust.
I think it is ironic that the Catholic church who spent years shoving their own systematic abuse of children by Priests under the rug has a need to speak out against a practice that, again, should be extremely difficult to execute if the proper rules were followed.

Thankfully the laws that are on the books are more flexible than your opinions.
Are women who came to the US with no understanding of immigration law and then abused by their spouses who refuse to file for them wilful criminals too?
Or maybe the child that comes here with his or her parent and has no idea that they are illegal?
There are so many situations that can cause a person to fall out of status that it is just nonsensical to make blanket statements.
Ooh the luxury of thinking we are right.
