Oh, I KNOW it's illegal and visa fraud. I would certainly NEVER advocate that one should use a non-immigrant visa to try to immigrate.

I suppose the alternative is to repost the same concern over and over again until people stop responding to the posts entirely.

This is where you are wrong. Precedent setting decisions from the BIA are official word. Court rulings have established that for the immediate family member of a USC, prior intent to immigrate, work

And, there is the problem--perpetuating a misleading perception without factual basis.

Hi, I don't know so much about all this things but a friend of mine is crazy about everything with immigration, so I have read a lot about it...I understand most of you are like, what an easy way...come here, get married and then apply for AOS...while so many people is doing the harder route...but someone in the family of my bf is an IO...what he told me? what's wrong in coming here on tourist visa? everybody does...he explained a case that was denied about visa fraud...it was:

Someone living in her home country, got married to a USC...while years both of them living there, he applied for a b2 visa to visit the us with her wife...their daughter got sick so his wife came to the us...weeks after he came to the us...WITHOUT ANY ATTEMPT TO STAY HERE...his daughter needed to stay here, so they talked about apply for AOS because of it...what happen? DENIED...VISA FRAUD...for what? because he applied for a visa TO VISIT...and came here and applied for aos...what did they tell to him? that he applied for that visa for the WRONG PURPOSE...

so what the IO wanted to tell me? you have you w.e visa student, tourist...in the moment you applied for that visa is for to VISIT OR TU STUDY...not to get a visa to visit and came here and get married...after a time...you knew that person, fell in love...IT'S OK...you get the visa for the RIGHT purpose but the things CHANGED....

to what he added...any alien WHO (by fraud or willfully misrepresenting a material fact, seeks to procure (or has sought to procure or has procured) a visa) WANTS TO GET A VISITOR VISA TO COME HERE AND APPLY FOR AOS IS COMMITTING FRAUD...not someone who gets their visa for the right purpose and the things changed...what he told me? so if you have your tourist visa...and you have used and you obtained that visa for the right purpose...then you fell in love with someone...why do you have to take the long process? came here and do it...that's for who doesn't have a b2 f1 j1 w.e visa...and what is visa fraud...you not having a b2 f1 j1 visa...go and get it...came here and get married...so you obtain that visa for the WRONG PURPOSE...that's why there are so many people who entered married on tourist and get their gc...or people who entered and days after get married...and get their gc...that's what an IO told me...and it makes sense to me...but I have tried to explain this so many times to my friend...but she doesn't get it...

I don't know. There are many stories about people coming here to see their loved one and never being even asked (at the interview) why they came. Or if they are asked, it just a routine question and a truthful answer seems to suffice. I think this whole thread is a testament to how "if you can prove bona fide marriage, intent is not an issue".
