Getting Married on Tourist Visa, Giving up on K1

[Tired of wait 0]

Hello All!

I want to know how this work, Ok, so If you are already in USA on tourist visa with your fiance and have applyed for K1, and just give up on that because is too much work plus you have to go back to your country for the interview and stuff, What happen if you cancel K1 and just get married and then apply for ajustment?? Is there any possibility on doing that if you can prove that you did not have intention to marry when u arrived? The marriage would be sometime at end of next year.

Thank you All

No, you cannot do this. If you were in the US NOW, and had decided AFTER entry that you want to marry and file for AOS in the US instead of going through the K-1, that would have been possible. However, since you're saying that the marriage would take place at the end of next year (2013??), you're planning to enter the US with a non-immigrant visa, marry a US citizen and remain here to file for AOS. This is visa fraud. Not the marriage part, but the AOS part.

I am confused though - do you have K-1 pending now? If you do, then unless there is something very strange going on about your case, you should most definitely have the visa before end of next year.. So way before you plan to get married in the US and file for AOS (which, again, is visa fraud).

Do you presently have a tourist visa?

If you came to the US on a Tourist Visa then that was what the Visa was for. After you filed the 129-F it clearly stated your intentions. If you filed that document it is in the System of intent to Marry, however you are still currently on a Tourist Visa. You can cancel the Petition and get married but, you intentionaly violated the Tourist Visa to get around the K-1 process. It will be Clear to the Agency the short-cut (or attempted short-cut). Not a wise choice. Your situation may require an Attourney as what appears your post idicates an act of evading the process.

Whats done is done. You Filed the 129-F. Don't Overstay your Tourist Visa. See an Attorney, Don't put your relationship in jepardy. See what other Members can add.

I honestly feel you know this is wrong and that is why your asking. But, Love will make you lie, cheat and steal.

I did'nt want to use the word "Fraud" but it would appear so. The word SYSTEM or PROCESS is USCIS Terms. Applicants cannot make-up there own terms to fit what is best for them and more convienant.

I agree with this.

But... are you saying you are ALREADY in the US and your tourist visa is valid until the end of next year when you will marry? That could make the situation different- then AOS may be possible.

It's hard enough coming over on a Tourist Visa and getting married and then throw-in a canceled 129-F....... Oh My God.... The Original Post includes the Intent. Avade the Process, do it Our Way........ Hope it works for them.. I doubt it. But, were just adding our ideas.

A tourist visa is valid for 6 months max, so that is not possible. OP has been given his answer, and this topic is potentially concerning immigration fraud, so closing.
