Hi my name is Marta,

I am in Chicago on student visa F-1, I got married last Saturday. I didn't keep a track of legal requirement. I am confused now. Are they gonna make me go home first cause we didn't apply for K1 visa? Can i apply just for Adjustment of Status? I am enrolled in undergraduate studies, is it possible they'll send me home?

Please HELP! I am so confused What should I do?

I would be very thankful for any help

best wishes to all :)

Don't worry.....they are confusing F-1 with the J-1 visa. An F-1 visa does not have a 2 year home residency requirement.

You should be fine....relax.

Several people on this forum have married a USA citizen while on an F-1. You do not have to go back at all, and should be able to adjust status here in the US. Many of them just continued with their studies during the process.

Isn't there an international student advisor at your university that you can speak to about this?

In either case.....no, you don't have to go back home......and no, you do not have to worry about any 2 year home residency requirement.
