Marrying a USC on a VWP

[stinger157 0]

Basically the situation is....

My parents are UKC but have GC's and have lived in the US for 5 yrs now. I was under 21 at the time they got their GC and so was told I did not qualify.

Anyway in 2005 I went into business with my parents and invested my money into 2 businesses. I waited 21 months in the UK and was only to be told in Dec 07!!! I was denied on the fact there was not enough evidence my funds were at risk in the US! (When the Embassy were asked numerous times if they needed anything else). So I was denied on information that they never asked for! I tried to re submit the E2 application but they said I would have to start all over again bla bla bla. So after this denial, in Dec 07 I decided to apply for a B2 as now I have a company in the US I can not work in, and have lost all my investment on, I obviously wanted to have 6 months to sort out what I was going to do next with the business.

I was also denied the B2!!! yet showed all evidence that I own property in London/have a job / childs schooling etc in the UK! I was denied on "insufficient evidence" Whatever that means!

Anyway in Dec I came over to see my family and have been here in the US since then. I have met a fantastic man, whom I am actually in Love with! and I do not know what to do.

As you can see I can go back and apply for a fiancee visa from London, but I dought I would get it! Or we get Married and I file for an I -130 from the US. I have a daughter who is with me and do not want to do the wrong thing.

The other option is to go back to the UK and wait for 2 plus yrs, when my parents will become USC and I can apply for a GC!

I love my boyfriend and am scaired that even at the point of changing status I get denied again!

So there you have it!!! I honestly want to be with my boyfriend and live in the US, and have never been deported or overstayed! I have never done anything wrong, and as my parents are in the US I do not want to jepodise our future here.

I would go the K-1 route. Better to wait a few months and do the right thing than getting more and more in the jungle of bureaucracy you were already caught in before.

when these people were denied at change of status stage, were they deported? that is what I am worried about if we get married here in the US on my VWP. also I have been denied 3 visas already from the UK Embassy and am worried if I go back to apply for the K-1/3 I will get refused again!

Yes if USCIS AOS interview results in denial, then deportation happens, no appeal.

Prior visitors visa denials do not affect Consular decision at the Embasy for CR-1, or K-Visas.
