Hey all!

My husband came up to visit me on a B1/B2 this year in February and originaly planned to stay till March, but ended up changing his mind after her got here and changed his return ticket to July. We ended up getting married in June, and we decided to file for AOS this month. In regards to proving there was no intent to immigrate and stay, was sending in his original travel documents & itinerary along with his current ticket home a good way to show his intentions was to visit?

Our journey so far...

08/2011 - He came to visit me, and we started a long distance relationship when he left. Skype is our best friend.

12/2011 - Trip to visit him for the holidays and meet his family; got engaged New Years Eve!

02/2012 - He comes up here for a 3 week visit, then decides to stay till my lil sister's graduation.

06/2012 - Decided to get married! :D

06/25/2012 - Start putting together AOS paperwork.

07/17/2012 - AOS packet sent. (I-130, I-485, I-864, I-131, G-325A, I-765, G-1145)

Not really. What you stated certainly sounds plausible. The interviewing officer will determine that in the interview.

The return ticket helps but isn't "proof." Just tell the story honestly and it ought to be evident.

Thanks! :] I'm not worried, I plan on telling it as it is. I was just seeing what other peoples opinions were & to see if sending it was helpful or unnecessary.

I don't see the point in sending it at all. No one is ever flat-out asked about intention, and to try to 'prove' it without being asked may be volunteering too much info.

Btw, keep in mind people here like to make a big fuss about intention, but the fact is intention alone is NOT enough for them to deny a case that would otherwise be approve-able, so it's something of a mountain out of a molehill if you ask me.
