Marriage without a K-1 visa

[Luckygoat 2]

Tell me if this is ok. I entered the U.S on my F-1 student visa to move my things from my apartment to my girlsfriends apartment (we moved together) but decided to tie the knot (spell check lol). I will be returning home abroad and going through the normal I-130 process for a CR-1 visa and enter as a permenant residency because i do not want to adjust from status from F-1 status.

This is legal right...considering I did enter with the intentions on gettin married and I will be returning home to go through the normal precedures.

yeah i think this is perfectly fine

take lots of proof with you, and take lots of pictures before you go back home, and have pictures of your wedding, itll be very helpful for later

good luck

Thanks. What do you mean take lots of proof with me? You mean so that I can file the I-130 before I leave to go back home? Because thats what I want to do...file the I-130 before I leave. We have alot of proof together since we resently moved together and have been datin for a while while I was here studying. Oh and we have the picture thing down pack, both my wife and I are professional models so I have a good list of contacts for good photographers for wedding picx.

Yep, as long as you return home before your F visa expires, it is perfectly legal for you to get married while in the USA, and you can file as soon as you are married.
