I intend to Adjust Status VWP

[EightGallon 2]

So no bones about it, no fancy stories about how we accidently intended on staying.

My wife will be coming to the US via VWP.

After 60 days or 70 we intend on filing to adjust status to get around the injust, rediculous, stressfull, defunct, broken, immigration system.

I dont care to hear the lectures about line skipping. From everything I have read USCIS will not deport based soley on preconcieved intent.

We are good people, I am a US citizen and native american. This is a loophole and I intend to use it. She is a EU/Scandinavian citizen, intelligent and 100% fluent in English. Neither of us are criminals, neither of us consider this fraud either. Its not fraudulent to adjust your status thats why it is there.

I also intend to tell the interviewer "youre damned right I intended it" if I am asked. I do not intend on lying, if asked at the border we will tell the truth and deal with the consequences.

Im just wondering, if anyone has admitted their intent regardless of every story the officers have heard I think most of us know the truth of our intent. I think the USCIS does as well.

Ill contact an immigration lawyer on this as well. We could call this a "trial" to see if she likes the US. Which is a part of the truth but if she does we do intend on staying.

I know this topic can be touchy especially for those who did it the "right" way. I have the assets to deal with this if we are rejected and to be honest, I dont really care if we are. This country we live in now is leaps and bounds above what the US has in the way of standard of living. I just want to travel the US without the hassle of having to return every 90 days and I want our future children to be both US citizens and members of my tribe as theyre damned well entitled to be without uncle sam 1) crapping on a bonefied family and 2) violating another treaty promise by saying eveyone else has to.

Ill keep you posted on how it goes, the people at USCIS imo are over worked, given ####### resources by xenophobic politicians and they dont have to tools to satisfy reasonably or effectively enforce our laws. I really feel bad for those folks talk about unthankful jobs.

Ofcourse if the lawyer says admitting it is criminal, I wont do it. Im not afraid of a rejection a jail sentence though does bug me a bit. Which is why I am asking if anyone has ever outright said they intended it from day one.

As long as you are honest the worst that can happen is they deny you and deport her.

What you propose is visa fraud, which is a federal crime.

If your wife informs CBP of her plans to enter and then adjust status, she will rightly be denied entry to the US.

So is selling pot and facilutating it. Under that definition the state government of Colorado is committing a federal crime. But come on now we both know that this isnt a charged offense. Edited January 26, 2014 by EightGallon

You'll get no argument from me when you say some laws are spurious and downright silly in places. Still though, you expose you and your wife to possible criminal liability if you follow through with your plan.

Probably nothing would happen, but that's not certain.

If you are asked at the border and you do not lie, then you will not be allowed in. If you are asked at the border and lie to gain entry, then you are committing misrepresentation, which is indeed fraud and a crime.

If they never ask at the border and you get to go ahead freely with your plans, then yay for you?

You seem to know the law. You appear to understand the reach of what you are proposing to do. You accept it is immigration fraud. You ask no questions. Forgive me if I am wrong, but it seems to me you are trolling, pure and simple.

Good luck whichever your course of action.
