They may want to sign up on VJ to participate in the forums. :)

Whether or not she intended to get married while she was visiting, she still has to exit the U.S. and they would have to proceed with a CR1 visa application. The VJ CR1/IR1 Guides would be very helpful to them (read about the process where the US citizen is in the US and the foreign spouse is in another country). She has to do this to avoid being denied, deported, or being banned from re-entering.

Not true...

It is illegal to plan to enter the US on a non-immigrant Visa with immigrant intent. If there was no immigrant intent at POE then it is legal to file for Adjustment of Status without her returning to the Philippines.

If she hid anything such as the true purpose of her visit at POE then she's on shaky ground. Otherwise just file AOS but she can't leave the US until she gets either AP or her Greencard.


Must have info for bringing your Philippine wife/fiancee's child to the US

Thank you for your help, I appreciate it!

It was not her intent to marry when she entered. The two met and fell in love....I have not known them long enough to even know how long she was here before they got married etc....They are calling me later so I can walk them through signing up for visa journey where they can ask the questions themselves...I know that visa journey was such a help when me and my husband went through the process. I just didn't know what advice to give these two....How does she prove she did not intend to marry when she crossed?

How does she prove she did not intend to marry when she crossed?

That isn't so much the issue. It is impossible to prove a negative.

It is a matter of following the AOS procedures now that they are married. This is straightforward and many here have done so.

She can file for Adjustment of Status and stay here while doing it. The fact she has applied for AOS demonstrates her effort to stay here legally.

So even though she is out of status while applying, she is not going to get deported on that basis.

If she leaves, she does not have an automatic right to re-enter just because she married. She would still have to go through the approval process. So for most, it makes better sense to stay with your husband or wife while adjusting status.
