Marriage in 13th month for Au pair

[Warhammer820 0]

I have been dating a Thai woman for a little more than 3 years and she is in America for the 4th year in a row. I am now financially established and would like to marry her. She is an au pair with a j1 visa and is not subject to the 2 year rule. I don't want her to leave the program before it's over, so can I legally marry her in her 13th month (travel month) without problems? I have already been to Thailand 2 times before and her family is awesome.

**** Moving from K1 fiance visa top AOS from Student visa forum ****

You can marry her whenever you want, it should not make her inelligible for her visa. Assuming you do not want her to leave the USA, after the wedding, file Adjustment of Status: http://www.visajourney.com/content/i130guide2

Thank you, but I was curious if the 13th month would be ok when her visa was over with. The rules from the agency said they would cancel her visa if she got married during the program. I don't want to have that happen since she enjoys working for the family.

I know many au pairs who got married in their travelmonth. Its true tho, agencies reserve the right to cancel your contract with them and to report you. That actually happened to a friend of mine. She married during her second yearand never filed aos. The agency cancelled the agreement. But she chose to go back to germany cause things were messed up in her marriage.

I assume,that even in that case she could have still filed aos, bc she was married to a usc. Whenever you do it, it should be fine!

That's what we'll do then since she can stay with the family, so it works out for everyone. Thank you very much all of you for your replies.
