I'll be honest, reading the above was EXTREMELY hard for me... the lack of punctuation was painful so I had to edit to make it more readable.

Responses in red above.

Again, the most important factor right now is where is your fiance/bf right now? In the US or UK?

he went back to the u.k he came to visit me again recently and i do apologize about that im not that great any more with spelling and stuff.. i know it's bad in time i will work on it.. and i have a bit of dyslexia i can't help it.

there are no lawyers that will speak to you at a USCIS immigration office. Keep that in mind, as yer seeking info.

You need to talk with an Immigration Official at a local USCIS office. and ask yer question there.

the spelling is fine, it's the lack of spaces so the ... actually really helps heaps!

Okay, so if he is not presently in the US then no, he cannot now enter and AOS. You should file the K1 visa for him. You can file that now, he can visit in the meantime (or he can not visit and instead save all his money for when he's here an unable to work for a couple of months).

He is not in the US right now so AOS in the US is out of the question due to intent.

oh and sorry for the double reply having issues with my pc and also we have not even married yet.

That's fine. The K1 is for fiance/es. The K1 means you can file right now, tomorrow even if you wanted. Then when he gets the visa he enters the US, you have 90 days to marry, and then you file for his greencard. All perfectly legal.

As long as when the other person pays a visit here WITHOUT ANY INTENTION TO MARRY, then you can go with the option of Adjusting the Status (AOS) after the wedding. I have friends who have the same experience. They were just communicating via phone and chat when she was still overseas. Then when she decided to have vacation in the US, they decided to meet, became bf/gf and the guy proposed a month before her flight back to her own country. They got married and filed for Adjustment of Status. They did not have any problems and are now expecting their second child.

Again, if you can establish that there was no original intention to marry when the other person visits you here in the US, it is fine. AOS will give the person the legal papers to stay and work in the US plus the green card and then eventually the citizenship (should you choose to apply for it).

Hope this helps.

....but if you already are having a real relationship now, then the fiancé visa is your best option to petition him here and you got 90 days to get married once he gets back to the US with fiancé visa,

That lawyer is telling you to commit visa fraud and saying you will be fine and it is OK to do it. It is not ok. You should not use this lawyer, she should be reported for this.

You can come visit in the USA and get married yes, but you have to go home after your visit is over and then file the I-130.

I don't think the OP gave enough info to label what the lawyer said as a visa fraud. Don't jump on conclusions. I'm no expert, but to my knowledge, what the lawyer said is true as long as the beneficiary didn't enter the US with a tourist visa with the intention to marry and stay.

Let me just ask this, is your fiance British, was he born in a different country? I am asking this based on the language you use, it sounds like English may be your second language, based on which I am presuming your fiance also may be from a country other than the UK. I say this because you may be scrutinized a bit more than average if this is so. Please accept my apologies if I am presuming too much and getting you worried for no reason. I just thought this may be an importation variable in the equation.

OP states earlier in this thread she is a US-born citizen, and spelling/grammar errors are due to dyslexia. So what you suggest is not applicable in their situation.

Maybe others can correct me but you should be able to move to the UK, marry him there and apply for a CR-1 (visa for married persons), right? That way you could be together until you move to the US. This would be ok from the perspective of US law I think but might be a UK issue, I don't know. There is a forum for just UK citizens marrying US citizens, search for that I am sure they can help you on the details of US/UK law.

i am a u.s a citizen i was born in the u.s

I have heard of people doing that and working for them. I am sure there are probably stories out there of people getting a ban. I think the hard part will be for your fiance to get into the country? He might be stopped by immigration and asked about the pending k1. Then, he would have to over stay his 3 month tourist visa and once you get your interview you will have to explain why you decided to get married while you had a K1 visa pending, etc....?

Hi do to the trouble i was having i decided to go to the immigration office my self and speak with a lawyer and i did she was very nice and all but im having trouble believing what she said if its true or not so i will ask you guys.

my lawyer said i can get married with out the k1 visa and then file for a Adjustment of status im hoping thats the right one. but i said but cant we get in trouble for doing that won't that be visa fraud and she replied. if he not paying you for a green card and you to really love each other and can prove it you will be fine. if this all real and not fake their isnt a problem and she said to come back to her to file the paper work. i said what about visa fraud and she repeated this all to me again. and i looked online and searched and found what she had said that if you ca prove that ti was done out of love as cheesy as that sounds and you can prove it you will be fine. she also said first step would be to get married and then come see her again. she said are case is strong and a good one that their shouldn't be a problem being his is from the u.k. i wan't to know if we can do this and it turn out right... becuase i find a 10 year ban serious.... here is the link to the place i went too. also she said shes dealt with cases like mine and that her son was dealing with the same issue and they always turn out fine.

http://www.diiri.org/ its called dorcas international institute of RI i have friends and family who say they are the best.

Being 'fine' is relative. Besides what has been posted about fraud..-meaning it is fraud no matter how you dress or lipstick it-, you would be taking a risk. While it is possible that AOS in fact proceeds, even if it does, it could come back and bite you later

This cases do NOT always turn out fine.

Would you be willing to risk being the 1 in a 100 or a 1000 that did not??
