Hi all...

I have a question that I've been wanting to ask for a long time. As some of you know, we just got approved a few weeks ago for the 2 year green card with no complications and no attorney, and married on the VWP. I've been reading some posts and some say that it's harder and more complicated to adjust status on a VWP then the K1 or K3 and that it's not 100% sure they'll get approved. My questions is, does everyone that comes here on the K1 and K3 get guarantee approval?

Thanks!

Melanie and Paul

No, in a nutshell.

If an adjudications officer finds that the marriage is fraudulent or that the beneficiary made material misrepresentations to enter the country, or that the beneficiary has committed crimes since arriving in the U.S. or has otherwise not complied with the terms of the visa, the adjustment can certainly be denied.

Abby (U.S.) and Ewen (Scotland): We laughed. We cried. Our witness didn't speak English. Happily married (finally), 27 December 2006.

Latest news: Green card received 16 April 2007. USCIS-free until 3 January 2009! Eligible to naturalize 3 April 2010.

Nothing is guaranteed... but the risk of denial is significantly lower. But since the couple has already gone through an interview process to determine the validity of a relationship, they go into the interview with already getting screened once. If there were any doubts about the validity of the relationship, it would have been weeded out during the consulate interview. Something to give a USCIS adjudicator a little more confidence about the couple.

For a tourist adjuster, this is the first time that the couple would have had to undergo any scrutiny of their relationship. In addition, the couple may also have to prove their intent at entry. Something that a K adjuster doesn't have to worry about.
