Marriage on the Visa Waiver

Hi guys

I'd err on the side of caution, go home and apply for a spousal visa. It'll suck to wait, but better to wait awhile and then get there, rather than be denied and barred from entering the US - or having to wait a much longer time.

Here is the post by an immigration lawyer that I presume everyone was talking about.

I'm going to second everyone who said to read the post by the US immigration lawyer, then return to the UK and apply for the K-3.

hey guys,

thank you so much for your replies.

Is it true that if I apply for adjustment of status while my VWP has not run out it gets put on hold?

Let's say they receive my application on day 80 and change my status to pending. This means if they were to deny my GC after the interview my status would go back to VWP and i'd still have 10 days in the country?

What I'm trying to say ask is whether it's considered "overstaying" after they've changed your status to pending on day 80!? It's all in regards of the ban obviously.

Thanks

Yep, this is true. Also, as long as you've entered the US legally, any overstay can be forgiven through marriage to a USC and adjusting status.

www.visajourney.com is a good source. Users can give some misinformation but you should be able to sort through it

I'm sorry - I said something terribly confusing. When I wrote "especially the job part" I was trying to say that if you still had a job you were intending to return to, then you should seriously consider filing to adjust status.
