AOS for spouse who came on tourist visa

[YupYup 4]

Thank you, Simply Me. I understand that we were ignorant and naive in assuming that since we had been married a while, that it should be no problem to sort out the immigration from the US. The 'fraud' was unintentional. We obviously got a nice (or dumb) immigration officer at the border. Either way, that is irrelevant now because my spouse is here.

The i-130 and i-485 paperwork was filed and delivered last week. I was careful in the wording of my story as to why my spouse arrived as a visitor and now intends to immigrate. According to others, intent cannot be cause for denial anyway. The genuineness of our relationship is easily proven, so I'm not sure why they would deny the AOS, but we will see.

I could really use some positive vibes instead of people telling me the mistakes I made.

we arent here to tell you everything will be fine, if its not, in our opinion. I am sorry.

Ive been looking into immigration stuff for months now. All we are trying to do, is prepare you for what could happen. COULD ... but doesnt have to!!!

And, as you were told by a few previous experienced posters, it's extremely doubtful you will have any problems. I will bet you 5 smiley faces that you won't even be asked anything about intent! Good luck!
