tourist got married in USA

[Caryh 5,206]

I don't see how it could. You're simply not religious and didn't want that type of wedding. The biggest thing is having proof of a bonafide marriage. USCIS really doesn't care what type of ceremony was performed, as long as it was legal.

Exactly, that won't be an issue here at all. Had you gotten married there, then married here and applied to adjust status, you might be running into some trouble.

Her prior marriage in Morocco is a non entity in US and that is why they managed to marry in US. In fact that implies that during the consular processing she did not mention the marriage becaue instead she would have been advised to take the IR visa route. Having said that, she can therefore divorce in the US. That means that in her country she is still married because there exists a marriage certificate (In her country). The questions is: What are the chances of getting the tourist visa once the officer realises that she initially came on a tourist visa then married? There will be some prying eyes on this one. It will be even worse if:

1. She actually divorces in her country and

2. While applying for her second tourist visa the officer gets wind of the initial lie that she was married but did not disclose this information in her first tourist visa interview.

Hope that answers your question.

Fraud.

They hid the marriage to avoid a proper immigration petition for a spouse living abroad.

But the B-2 visa application asks the married status, and that was in her country and the embassy in her country. This is no grey area that can be fudged around. She was married in her country, she filled out the form in her country, then she lied about it. No reasonable person is going to believe she just made a mistake and forgot she was married.

she had here visa before she met here husband and before she got married in here country

When she flew to the US to meet her husband, the immigration officer would have asked: What is the purpose of your visit?

What answer did she give?

It's also common for immigration officers to ask: Are you married/single? If they did ask, what did she answer?

Tell her to go home. Divorce can be handled through paperwork back here and she does not have to be present. as for the other points...Maybe she has committed immigration fraud and maybe not. You are the friend so I don't think you have all the information even if you think you do.

Usually the OP and friend are the same person.
