Fiance with a B1B2 Visa BCC

[rickalamo02 3]

Hello, i'm trying to find information on this question. My fiance already has a B1B2 Visa BCC (Border Crossing Card) from Mexico. Can she enter in the U.S. and we get married then apply for a AOS(adjustment of status), or do i need to apply for a K-1 Fiance visa for her and go through those steps?

What you asked would be fraudlent use of the tourist visa if you followed that plan. She can use the tourist visa to enter the USA and be married but she must return to Mexico. You would then file for a C R 1 visa for her which would result in a visa with a green card.

Ning is right. That is the route me and my husband took. I had an existing tourist visa and he invited me to meet his family in the US which resulted in our marriage in the US. But we returned to where we met and lived and are now applying ir1/cr1 visa.

Doing it the way you suggested is not only fraud but also, there is high chance that when you adjust status for her, the case will be viewed suspiciously and get denied. Also, she will not be allowed to leave the US until the decision is made on that or f she will apply for a travel permit. There is too much risk and is not worth the headache, trouble, and paying for something you are 99% sure that will get denied.

You might as well take her in through a fiancé visa or Spouse visa.

Blessings to you and your family,

Thanks for the quick response!

So by me applying for the K-1 fiance visa, will this make her B1B2 Visa BCC invalid? Or can she have both?

She can have both until the K1 is issued.
