Entering the US on a nonimmigrant visa with the preconceived intent to remain would constitute visa fraud.

My spouse and I were married 2 months ago while visiting the US. We are planning to visit the US again in February. At this time we would like to file for a green card. What are the complications in doing this? Thanks.

Need a little more info from you before you can get any good advice. One of you is a US Citizen, and the other has no US status ? You both live abroad now..legally in your country of residence ? US domicile ? Have income to support the beneficiary ? Been filing US tax returns ?

Is either of you a US citizen?

You can not enter with the intent to change status.

If you change your mind AFTER entering, no problem.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Yes, one is a US citizen filing taxes. Both living legally abroad, domicile in US and financially able to support the other.

Since you've already declared your intent to immigrate, I would say file the CR-1 to be safe.
