Just visiting my wife...but...

Look while I have no actual care if you wanted to do it. But you're saying it's purely hypothetical, which if course it is NOT, since you are here asking all of us, and you admit talking to your significant other about doing this exact thing.

Be aware that you may well be turned away at the border, even with the evidence you claim to have of returning to Canada.

Again, I'm could care less if you do it. And yes of course people do it. But it might cause problems, and it's probably safer to just play by the rules.

you are asking before you enter the US, intent is there. Just because you say your question is hypothetical, doesn't make it so.

BSD, Harpa is right, you can AOS if the I-130 is pending if you didn't intend to immigrate and the situation had changed somehow.

That being said, you are close to getting approved at VSC and AOS is more of a pain than it is worth if you can just get the CR1 from the get go.

Trust me, most couples talk about AOS at some point. I don't believe for a second that they don't. We talked about it before he visited me last April and we've talked about it recently. For us, it wasn't worth the risk because it is not able to be appealed and we had loose ends that need tying up here first.

Ya these guys who are saying I have intent are clueless. I was just wondering. Thanks, Nola and Harpa. I really was just talking hypothetical. I'm not going to do it. I was only curious. If I really wanted to I could probably just wait out the rest of my visa in the US anyways. 180 days wouldn't pass by. I could come back and visit my dad if I got close to the 180 day mark. So, whatever to the people who think I'm planning on doing it.

Though I know some of you couldn't care less if I do it or not.
