Hello, I was hoping some help on this forum. I'll explain my case.
I am German, and I had my girlfriend living in Miami, she is a US citizen, we've been dating since last year, August 2009, so since then I've been coming several times to the US to visit her.
The last time I came was last month under visa waiver, in July, and she wanted me to marry her, and of course I said yes, obviously that was a little unexpected. We got married 18 days after I arrived to the country, all my stuff is in Germany, now she wants and obviously I also want to do all my paper work done but we have heard a lot of things about immigration but none of us knows anything about it. So, what are we supposed to do? Now people are telling us that we should have waited more than 30 days to get married, but I didn't prepared this on purpose!! and my wife, she didn't know all these things about immigration, you don't think about immigration when you get married. How can that be possible? other have told us to do the paper work after 50 days or more, otherwise the officials will deny the case immediately because I was not suppose to enter in the US with marriage purposes, but I didn't know? on the other hand, I am here married! We really don't know what to do.
I entered under visa waiver program, I got married after 18 days of my entrance to the US, what is the best to do?
I would appreciate if you could help us to figure out what to do!
